Beyond Paradise: Will there be a second series of the Death in Paradise spin-off?

Viewers all breathed a sigh of relief as the Beyond Paradise final saw DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and fiancee Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton) reunite. Recent episodes of the BBC Death in Paradise spin off have seen the couple’s relationship on the rocks after failing to come to an agreement on children.

Beyond Paradise’s sixth and final episode saw Humph travel back to Saint Marie to clear his head. Whilst he was there, he was given some friendly advice from an old friend - read more about that here.

Following the end of the six-part series, which was set in the fictional Devonshire town of Shipton Abbott, Beyond Paradise viewers were crying out for more episodes. Much like its predecessor, the series has been a huge success in the viewing figures.

Speaking of the series’ return, Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama said: “I’m beyond excited to return to Shipton Abbott for both a Christmas special and second series of Beyond Paradise. The response from BBC viewers to series one has been a joy to see, and like its millions of fans I’m intrigued to find out what new mysteries lie in store for Humphrey, Martha and the team.”

Meanwhile executive producer of production company Red Planet Pictures Tim Key said: “We’ve been blown away by the audience response to the show and are so happy that people have taken it to their hearts. We can’t wait to get our amazing cast back together to continue the story – and to be able to pay a visit to Shipton Abbott at Christmas is even better.”
