The 90-minute episode, which will air as part of BBC One's Christmas Day, will see the return of Danny John-Jules as charismatic Officer Dwayne Myers. The 60-year-old actor waved goodbye to the show in 2018 at the end of season eight.
Speaking about his return to the BBC, he said: "It's always a pleasure going back to the Caribbean. After four years away, fitting back into the fold should be seamless as I know the new lead cast members. I look forward to bringing Dwayne and this 10th anniversary special script to life."
