The upcoming series will be released in two sets of three episodes, with the dynamic duo delving into the art of navigating and flourishing during midlife.

"The reaction to series one was overwhelming, and I can't wait to dive back in with UandDave and Afro-Mic." Ralf expressed his excitement, saying: "Somehow, they've let us do this again! I'm buzzing to be back with Will for round two - more adventures, more questionable decisions, and probably more moments where we ask, 'What on earth are we doing?'

Jason Dawson, Commissioning Executive, commented on the series, "The UandDave audience completely fell in love with Will and Ralf's incredible chemistry, emotional depth, and cheeky charm the first time round, so we're delighted to be bringing them much more of it. "To be honest, after the boys' learning so much about themselves and each other in series one, I was concerned that they might've become a little too sensible ahead of series two! However, from early conversations with the pair and the brilliant team at Afro-Mic, I'm happy to confirm that there's still plenty of work to be done!". Fans of Death in Paradise were left disappointed last year when Ralf announced his departure from his role as Detective Neville Parker. He was subsequently replaced by a new lead, Don Gilet, who now plays Mervin Wilson. Reflecting on his exit at the time, the actor said: "So, there you have it! The secret's out! My time on Saint Marie has come to an end. But, what an end!" He added: "New adventures await Neville and he got to sail off into the sunset with his best friend, and, you know, who knows what happens for them next! "I just want to say, just an enormous thank you to everyone who watched and supported the show. When I arrived, four-and-a-half years ago, I knew I had big shoes to fill. Coming into a series beloved by millions, including me, was a huge responsibility."
