In case you missed it, Death in Paradise previously revealed that it was switching around its scheduling this week. Episode three of the current season 15 will not be airing in its usual Friday slot of 9pm on BBC One tonight – and you may have noticed that, instead, the broadcaster will be airing the Hull City vs Chelsea football game as part of Match of the Day’s FA Cup coverage.

If you’re more interested in finding out when you can catch up with Detective Inspector Mervin Wilson in the sunny climes of Saint Marie, you’ve come to the right place, because we’ve got everything you need to know about Death in Paradise’s release schedule and where to watch.

When can I watch Death in Paradise, season 15, episode 3?

That really all depends on how you want to watch it. According to the official Death in Paradise Instagram account, the next episode will still be added to BBC iPlayer on Friday night (13 February), only at the slightly earlier time of 8.45pm. So if you wanted to stream it, you’ll still be able to catch up on the latest happenings of your favourite characters – and the case of the week – over there.

But if you’re hoping to tune in for a traditional terrestrial broadcast on the BBC, you’ll have to wait until Monday evening. Death in Paradise’s episode three has been given the 9pm slot on 16 February, at its usual time of 9pm, on BBC One.

So the Death in Paradise, season 15, episode 3 release schedule is as follows:

What’s going to happen in Death in Paradise’s next episode?

According to the BBC schedule, DI Mervin (Don Gilet) will be leading an investigation into the shooting of a pensioner in his home. The evidence seems to point to one likely suspect, but he’s got a rock-solid alibi which throws everything into question.

Meanwhile, Commissioner Selwyn Patterson (played by Don Warrington) has plans for a community-focused initiative to bring everyone together, but there’s set to be tension with Mervin during its launch event.

Fans will no doubt be wanting to see more of Mervin’s ongoing storyline with his long-lost brother Solomon (Daniel Ward), as they root for the pair to get closer and to see yet another side of Gilet’s central character.
