Beyond Paradise on BBC First – Cozy crime fans rejoice, Beyond Paradise is returning for another series. The second series of the Death in Paradise spin-off is set to premiere on BBC First from Saturday, March 23 at 10.00am express with encore episodes airing at 8.30pm.

Set in Shipton Abbott, on the Devonshire coat, the first series saw the characters help solve a number of interesting cases that hit the region. Series one held the highest broadcast consolidated+7 numbers in the history of the BBC First channel as well as holding six of the top 10 scripted broadcasts on subscription TV in 2023.

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.
