Returning: Beyond Paradise

Season 2 with Kris Marshall & Sally Bretton is fast-tracked to BBC First next week.

Beyond Paradise, the second series of the Death in Paradise spin-off is set to premiere on BBC First next week.

Set in Shipton Abbott, on the Devonshire coat, series one held the highest broadcast consolidated+7 numbers in the history of the BBC First channel (numbers have not been supplied).

Shipton Abbott continues to keep DI Humphrey Goodman and his team busy, with a baffling crime each week – from a death on a steam train to a missing teacher, the team have their work cut out. Even more so with Police HQ’s threat of the local station house closure hanging over them – the pressure is on to get results.

Meanwhile, Humphrey and Martha’s journey to find their own version of a family continues as they explore the possibility of fostering. Martha’s mother Anne throws herself into the world of online dating. And a well-meant gesture from Esther’s daughter Zoe threatens to uncover a long-held secret.

The new series will see the return of Shipton Abbott’s much-loved residents, including Kris Marshall (DI Humphrey Goodman), Sally Bretton (Martha Lloyd), Zahra Ahmadi (DS Esther Williams), Dylan Llewellyn (PC Kelby Hartford), Barbara Flynn (Anne Lloyd) and Felicity Montagu (Margo Martins).

Fabulous guest stars venturing to the picturesque South West coast and appearing throughout the new series include Peter Davidson (All Creatures Great and Small), Kevin Bishop (The Kevin Bishop Show), Adam Fogerty (The Gallows Pole), Emma Fielding (Van der Valk), Dan Renton Skinner (Shooting Stars), Paul Bradley (Holby City), Peter Landi (Ted Lasso), Abi Clarke (The Emily Atack Show), Emily Lloyd-Saini (Juice), Danny Webb (Alien 3), Nicholas Woodeson (Skyfall), Malcolm Storry (Doc Martin), Carolyn Pickles (Broadchurch), Jeff Rawle (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Jayde Adams (Ruby Speaking), Souad Faress (Game of Thrones), Charlie Baker (Back) and more. Also returning are Jade Harison as CS Charlie Woods, Melina Sinadinou as Zoe, Eva Feiler as Lucy, Isaac Vincent-Norgate as Ryan, Amelia Vitale as Hannah, and last but not least, Selwyn the Duck!

Saturdays at 10.00am (express) and 8.30pm (repeat) from Saturday March 23 on BBC First. Available to stream through Binge / Foxtel On Demand and Fetch.

  1. David, seeing that the year’s BBC First exclusivity is coming up soon, have you heard any word on whether the first season is coming to free to air?
