DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall), Shipton Abbott’s finest detective, gets embroiled in a puzzling holiday haunting in this year’s Beyond Paradise Christmas Special, which will be broadcast to the show’s many fans from Friday, December 27 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, or on Christmas Day in the US on BritBox.
UK viewers can watch Beyond Paradise Christmas Special 2024 online absolutely FREE on BBC iPlayer. But, if you’re away for the holidays, don’t worry: you can still watch Beyond Paradise Christmas Special 2024 on BBC iPlayer from anywhere with a VPN.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… especially if you love Death in Paradise and its Kris Marshall-fronted spin-off. Not only will each series deliver a holiday-themed episode just days apart, but ratings magnet Beyond Paradise has already been greenlit for a third season.
Before then, Humphrey and his fellow Shipton Abbott officers have a lot on their plate. There’re investigating the strange case of Bob Holland (guest star Mark Heap), who claims he’s being visited by the ghost of his late wife Linda, while Constable Kelby (Dylan Llewellyn) attempts to find a missing statue of the Virgin Mary.
Life’s not made any less challenging as Humphrey and his fiancé Martha (Sally Bretton) continue their adoption journey: attempting to find common ground with introverted teenager Jaiden (Austin Taylor) as they welcome him into their home over the holidays.
Described by series’ lead Marshall as “very Christmassy,” “a ghost story,” and “quite wacky too,” fans can expect an episode packed with thrills, laughs, and heart-warming family drama – basically, all the festive feels!
