Harry Potter star Rupert Grint is the frontrunner to take over on Death in Paradise, according to bookmakers. Grint, 35, played Ron Weasley in eight Harry Potter films between 2001 and 2011. He has since starred in several TV series, including Sky’s Sick Note and the BBC’s The ABC Murders. Other actors in the running to replace Ralf Little include Simon Bird (The Inbetweeners), Mathew Horne (Gavin and Stacey), and Diane Morgan (Cunk on Britain).
Fans of the Caribbean crime drama Death In Paradise are eagerly awaiting the announcement of Ralf Little’s replacement as the leading detective. Leading actor Martin Clunes has emerged as a top contender, with odds of 6/1 according to Betfred. Other potential candidates include Simon Bird (3/1), Matthew Horne (5/1), Diane Morgan, and Romesh Ranganathan (both at 8/1). Clunes, known for his roles in Men Behaving Badly and Doc Martin, is a popular choice among punters. While Simon Bird remains the current favorite, Clunes’ odds are expected to improve in the coming weeks. Death In Paradise will air a Christmas special this year, followed by a new series in 2025.
