The 39-year-old comedian revealed he and the former 'Emmerdale' actor - who wore masks as they posed for a selfie on a plane - are heading to the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, where filming for the hit crime drama resumed in July.
He initially shared the photo on Instagram, and wrote: "I'm flying with this mystery fella to a mystery destination for @BBCOne. But who is it and where am I going?"
After receiving some backlash, Jason responded in a since deleted Facebook post and addressed criticism over the way he was wearing his mask.
He said: "Please stop calling people out on 'wearing mask wrong' it is soooo boring!
"There's so many different masks out there it's impossible to say which are right n wrong simply from a photo."
He added: "Oh and it's Kelvin Fletcher and we're off to Guadeloupe to film Death in Paradise."
The pair's respective roles haven't been officially announced by the BBC.
Ralf Little (Neville Parker), Don Warrington (Selwyn Patterson), Tobi Bakare (JP Hooper) and Elizabeth Bourgine (Catherine Bordey) have all returned to their roles for the new series, while Tahj Miles (Marlon Pryce) has been added to the cast.
Executive producer Tim Key has promised that the new series of 'Death in Paradise' will be the "biggest and best" to date.
He previously said: "We've got some real treats for our long-term viewers as the series progresses - including some major surprises and the possibility of another returning face or two.
"We are determined to make this our biggest and best series yet and can't wait to take our viewers back to Saint Marie in 2021."
