Josephine Jobert Reflects on Her Death in Paradise Journey and Her New Role
French actress Josephine Jobert, known for portraying DS Florence Cassell in Death in Paradise, recently opened up about her time on the show and what the future holds. After eight seasons of solving mysteries in the tropical paradise of Saint Marie, Josephine has moved on to new projects. In this article, we’ll explore her thoughts on leaving Death in Paradise and how her latest TV role compares to the beloved BBC series.
Josephine Jobert Leaves Death in Paradise
After delighting audiences with her performance as DS Florence Cassell for eight seasons, Josephine Jobert announced that her time on Death in Paradise had come to an end. Fans were heartbroken when Florence bid farewell to Saint Marie alongside DI Neville Parker, played by Ralf Little, at the conclusion of Season 13. Reflecting on her departure, Josephine shared that it was "time to move on" from the show.
"I had an amazing time on Death in Paradise. The memories I made there, the people I met—it was all incredible," Jobert said during a Q&A with fans on Instagram. "But I knew it was the right moment to explore new opportunities."
Life After Death in Paradise: Josephine’s New TV Role in Saint-Pierre
While fans might miss her as Florence, Josephine has wasted no time taking on new challenges. She is currently filming the French police drama Saint-Pierre, which sees her trading the sunny beaches of Saint Marie for the cooler climates of France’s Saint-Pierre et Miquelon islands. Josephine plays Deputy Chief Geneviève ‘Arch’ Archambault, a strong, independent Parisian transplant with her own mysterious backstory.
In her new role, Jobert stars alongside Canadian actor Allan Hawco, who plays Donny ‘Fitz’ Fitzpatrick, a police officer exiled for digging too deeply into local corruption. Together, they navigate the murky politics and dangers of their isolated community.
When asked about how her new role compares to Death in Paradise, Josephine described Saint-Pierre as “more serious.” She hinted that fans can expect a grittier, more intense drama compared to the lighthearted nature of Death in Paradise. "It’s definitely a shift in tone, but I’m excited about it," she noted.
Could There Be a Cameo in Beyond Paradise?
For those hoping to see Josephine Jobert return to Death in Paradise—or its spin-off Beyond Paradise—there’s still a glimmer of hope. When asked if she would consider making a guest appearance in the spin-off, Jobert responded with a playful "Yes, why not?" However, with her current filming schedule for Saint-Pierre, any potential cameo would likely be a while off.
Still, her openness to returning, even briefly, has kept fans excited about the possibility of seeing Florence again. "It would be fun to revisit that world, even just for a little bit," Josephine hinted, adding that she still holds fond memories of her time on Death in Paradise.
Behind the Scenes of Saint-Pierre: What We Know So Far
As Saint-Pierre gears up for its 2025 release, fans are eagerly awaiting more details about Josephine’s new show. The police procedural promises to deliver a gripping story, full of mystery, action, and political intrigue. Alongside Josephine and Allan Hawco, British actor James Purefoy is also part of the main cast, adding another layer of star power to the series.
The story follows Fitzpatrick, an exiled police officer trying to uncover the truth behind local political corruption, and Archambault, whose reasons for being stationed in Saint-Pierre are just as intriguing. Together, they must navigate the complex and dangerous world of local politics, where no one can be trusted, and every decision could lead to deadly consequences.
Conclusion
As Josephine Jobert moves on from her beloved role in Death in Paradise to take on new challenges, fans can look forward to seeing her in a new light. While Florence Cassell may be gone for now, Josephine’s talent and charisma will shine in her upcoming drama Saint-Pierre. Who knows? Perhaps we haven’t seen the last of her in the world of Death in Paradise either. Whether it’s in the Caribbean or on the rugged coasts of France, Josephine continues to captivate audiences with her diverse roles.
