Former Casualty star Sunetra Sarker will have a major role in the fourth season when her character DI Maiya Goswami takes control of the police force.
"There's nothing out there quite like Professor T, with its unique mix of complex crimes and captivating characters, all set against the beautiful backdrop of Cambridge; the central enigma being the Professor himself… a mystery I hope to investigate for many seasons to come," Miller said.
Executive producer Jo McGrath added: "Professor T's unique mix of clever cases, compelling series arcs and an outstanding cast of warm, memorable characters have proven to be a big hit with audiences around the world."
Professor T has been adapted from a Belgian drama for the UK by Bad Sisters' Malin-Sarah Gozin and Hotel Portofino's Matt Baker (not that one). The English-language version airs on PBS in the US.
Death in Paradise is currently airing on Sundays at 9pm on BBC One. The main show and its spin-off, Beyond Paradise, both air on BBC One and stream on BBC iPlayer.
