In the new project, titled Concordia, Josephine will take on the role of Mathilde.
The drama takes place in a fictional city where AI “ensures a free and fair society”.
An official logline for the series reads: “For its 20th anniversary, the AI driven town of Concordia is due to expand to Germany.
“This plan is threatened when Oliver Miller, an analyst in Concordia is killed.”
In the plot, as the experiment becomes more popular, multiple cities worldwide plan to replicate the system.
However, a secret occurs which threatens to destroy the whole system, just as the project is set to expand into Germany.
During her original stint on Death in Paradise, Josephine worked with Kris Marshall and Ardal O’Hanlon before departing in 2019.
Josephine rejoined the show for series ten in 2021 opposite Ralf Little and exited again during series 11.
She later returned for a guest appearance in series 13, which aired earlier this year.
Her most recent appearance saw Florence and Ralf’s character Neville Parker leave Saint Marie together and sail off into the sunset.
The cast for Concordia also includes Ted Lasso’s Ruth Bradley, House of the Dragon star Nanna Blondell and Steven Sowah while Game of Thrones’ Frank Doelger executive produces.
Barbara Eder will direct the six-part series.
It comes after Josephine previously teased fans about her ‘new adventure’ after leaving Death in Paradise.
Updating 112,000 followers on her Instagram story, Josephine wrote: “It’s been a few days since I’ve given you much news.

“For the moment, I can’t reveal anything about the project I’m going to shoot (I’m currently in Canada).
“But it will change at some point and I’ll make sure to keep you posted then.”
