Death in Paradise star Élizabeth Bourgine has shared a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming 15th season, which is currently being filmed in Guadeloupe.
Taking to Instagram, the French actress shared a series of snaps from the show's set. In one post, which she captioned, "Shooting series 15 of Death in Paradise", the 68-year-old star shared a screenshot of a production monitor which showed Élizabeth, in costume as her character Catherine Bordey, looking down the lens. Another post showed Élizabeth beaming while cooling herself with a portable fan in between scenes.
Fans praised the star in the comments section and shared their anticipation over the new series. One person penned: "Can't wait to watch, looking beautiful as always," while another added: "With each season it just gets better and better! Looking forward to 15."
Fans' concerns over fan-favourite character Selwyn
Catherine's post comes amid fans' concerns about Don Warrington's future on the show after his character, Commissioner Selwyn Patterson, decided to leave his role in the police in the series 14 finale.

His storyline is so interesting. I hope it isn’t the end of Selywyn. I always look forward to his scenes."
Will Commissioner Selwyn Patterson appear in series 15?
Selwyn's future in Saint Marie remains to be seen. The police commissioner had initially been replaced by newcomer Sterling Fox (Trieve Blackwood-Cambridge), but after his very brief and unsuccessful tenure, Selwyn was reinstated.
However, the series ended on a cliffhanger as Selwyn revealed that he wouldn't be returning to his police role, and instead was planning on visiting his daughter, Andrina (Genesis Lynea).

What to expect from season 15
Fans can look forward to the return of Don Gilet as DI Mervin Wilson, who decided to stay in Saint Marie after discovering he has a brother.
Élizabeth will also return as Catherine, who revealed she was "seeing someone" in season 14.
