Fans think Ardal O'Hanlon will make an appearance in the spin-off (Image: BBC) Death in Paradise fans seem to think Ardal O'Hanlon, who played DI Jack Mooney in the hit BBC series, will appear in the show's spin-off, Return to Paradise which will hit screens in Australia next month. Ardal left Death in Paradise in series nine which is when Ralf Little took over as lead detective Neville Parker. However, on a Facebook fan page dedicated to the show, fans claimed Ardal will be appearing in the Death in Paradise spin-off, which will feature the series' first-ever female lead.
"Apparently we will see Ardal in this series in an episode," one fan said in reply to a discussion about Return to Paradise. Another said: "I have heard Jack Mooney may make an appearance but who knows." A third went on: "Ardal will make a guest appearance in this series.
" Sharing another theory, someone else stated: "I'd like to see where Neville and Florence end up, but maybe it's good to have an end with a mystery." Return to Paradise is set against the picturesque backdrop of Dolphin Cove in Australia and will introduce viewers to Detective Mackenzie Clarke, portrayed by Anna Samson. Don't miss.
