Who is Replacing Commissioner Selwyn Patterson in Death in Paradise? Explores the Big Change!

The world of Death in Paradise is about to experience a major shift as longtime Commissioner Selwyn Patterson steps away from his position. Fans of the hit BBC crime drama have been left wondering—who will fill his shoes, and how will this shake up the Saint Marie police force? Flickcore.us has all the latest details!

A Big Shake-Up in Saint Marie!

Since the show’s debut in 2011, Death in Paradise has seen its fair share of cast changes, but Selwyn Patterson (Don Warrington) has been one of the few constants, alongside Catherine Bordey (Élizabeth Bourgine). However, season 14 brings an unexpected twist—Selwyn is stepping down as Commissioner, and a new face is set to take his place.

Meet Sterling Fox—The New Commissioner?

Stepping into the Commissioner’s office is Sterling Fox, played by Trieve Blackwood-Cambridge. But is he here to stay? That’s the burning question. The BBC series hasn’t listed Blackwood-Cambridge’s name on IMDb as a series regular, hinting that his role might not be permanent.

When Sterling arrives, he makes quite the entrance—suited up and stepping out of a luxury car, exuding confidence. But first impressions aren’t everything. He immediately stirs things up, referring to Selwyn’s office as "cute." That alone hints at a clash of styles, and fans are eager to see how this dynamic unfolds.

How Will Sterling Fox Change the Police Station?

The Saint Marie police force is in for a shake-up with Sterling at the helm. Unlike Selwyn, who commanded respect with quiet authority, Sterling appears more flashy and unfiltered. He reportedly clashes with DI Mervin Wilson (Don Gilet), particularly in the ongoing investigation of Mervin’s mother’s suspicious death. Could this mean personal drama will spill over into police work?

Who is Trieve Blackwood-Cambridge?

If the name sounds familiar, that’s because Trieve Blackwood-Cambridge has graced British television screens before. Best known for playing Josh Hudson in Holby City, he has also appeared in Enterprice, This Way Up, Make Me Famous, and the Disney+ thriller Rematch. His entry into Death in Paradise signals an exciting new chapter, but will he win over the show’s dedicated fanbase?

What Happens to Selwyn Patterson?

Fans are just as curious about what Selwyn will be up to in his time away from the Commissioner’s desk. Given his deep ties to the island, he’s unlikely to disappear altogether. Will he play a mentor role? Or perhaps get caught up in a case of his own? The possibilities are endless, and with Death in Paradise’s knack for twists, anything could happen.

Will Sterling Fox Stick Around?

One major question remains—will Sterling Fox be a temporary or permanent replacement? As of now, there’s no official confirmation that Blackwood-Cambridge has joined the cast full-time. His IMDb listing doesn’t include Death in Paradise, leaving fans speculating about whether he’s a long-term player or just a transitional figure.

What Fans Are Saying

Social media has been buzzing with mixed reactions to the change. Some fans are excited to see a fresh dynamic in the police force, while others are concerned about losing the steady presence of Selwyn Patterson.
