Renewed: Beyond Paradise

UK drama Beyond Paradise has been commissioned for a third series as well as a 2024 Christmas special.

The Death in Paradise spin-off stars Kris Marshall and Sally Bretton and centres around the Shipton Abbott police team cracking a host of mind-boggling and mysterious puzzles.

Tim Key, executive producer for Red Planet Pictures, says: “The response to series two has been fantastic. So much love goes into the making of the show and we’re delighted that the audience have enjoyed it so much. We can’t wait to get back to Shipton Abbott for another Christmas special and series to continue the story and learn more about our characters and the town they live in – I can promise that we’ll be making the viewers laugh, cry, laugh a bit more and then baffling them with a series of ingenious puzzles. There will also be a duck.”

Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, says: “Beyond Paradise has become such a huge hit with millions of viewers across the UK. It’s a show that is absolutely on a roll, and we’re beyond pleased to bring more fiendishly clever mysteries from the Shipton Abbott team to the BBC.”

Beyond Paradise screens in nearly 60 territories and will soon be joined by Australian spin-off Return to Paradise.

It screens in Australia on BBC First.
