Beyond Paradise is set to return for a second series on the BBC very soon, with DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and his team once again being involved in a number of unusual cases.
The Death in Paradise spin-off aired its first series towards the beginning of 2023 and even got a Christmas Special in December.
Goodman left being the DI on Saint Marie to be with Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton) and moved to her hometown of Shipton Abbott.
There he joined the local police force and once again was involved in a series of twisty cases to solve.
In terms of what storylines would feature in series two, the BBC shared: "Shipton Abbott continues to keep DI Humphrey Goodman and his team busy, with a baffling new crime each episode. 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…"

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
