Ben Miller is returning to 'Death in Paradise'.
Ben Miller's return as Richard Poole
The 54-year-old actor played lead D.I. Richard Poole in the first two series of the crime drama and the character was murdered in the first episode of series three - but the star will reprise the role for a "very special cameo appearance" in the upcoming 10th series.
A teaser clip on the 'Death in Paradise' social media channels showed Richard walking along the beach while clutching his briefcase and wearing a shirt and tie.
Further details of Ben's return are being kept under wraps by the BBC, but viewers will see the star's comeback next year, when the 10th series airs on BBC One.
The teaser clip also features Sara Martins - who played Camille Bordey for the first four series - just weeks after the star revealed she is returning for a cameo.
She said: "There are some characters that never leave you and I’m still Camille, wherever I go.
"After many years, people still reference and send their love to me as Camille, so it was obvious that I had to go back and the 10th anniversary is the perfect opportunity!
"I want to celebrate the longevity of 'Death in Paradise.' "
Her appearance in the BBC crime drama will see her character Camille in the middle of an investigation involving her mum Mayor Catherine Bordey - played by Elizabeth Bourgine - whose life is turned upside down after the death of a friend.
The teaser also features DI Neville Parker (Ralf Little) and the returning DS Florence Cassell (Joséphine Jobert).
