J’can actress Shantol Jackson lands role in Death in Paradise

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Former model, Jamaican actress, Shantol Jackson has joined the cast of the British-French crime television drama series Death in Paradise (Season 11). 

She will play the role of Naomi Thomas, an ambitious young sergeant.

Jackson is best known for her roles in Idris Elba’s Yardie and Storm Saulter’s Sprinter.

“I’m so grateful for this amazing opportunity to join the cast of this fun-filled, entertaining series. I used to watch Death in Paradise with my dad in Jamaica years ago when it just started and to now be in the show, knowing that he’ll be watching me, it’s truly a surreal moment. Looking forward to adding to the magic,” Jackson said in an interview with Britain’s Daily Mail.

Death in Paradise is filmed in the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe.  The series which has enjoyed strong viewership since its premiere, is currently in production for its next season.

Death in Paradise is broadcast on BBC One in the United Kingdom, France 2 in France, PBS and Britbox in the US and Canada, Prime in New Zealand and ABC in Australia.
