What is Beyond Paradise about?

Beyond Paradise is a British crime drama television series, which debuted on the BBC in February 2023. As a spin-off of the well-established series, Death in Paradise, it follows the story of Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman, portrayed by Kris Marshall, who after his stint on the idyllic island of Saint Marie, relocates to Shipton Abbott, a fictional town near Devon’s coast, with his fiancée Martha, played by Sally Bretton. Contrary to the couple’s expectations of a quieter life, Humphrey encounters a bustling crime scene and joins the local police force. Beyond Paradise delves into the blend of Humphrey’s unique policing methods and the charm of rural England, as he works alongside a new ensemble of characters, including DS Esther Williams, PC Kelby Hartford, and Margo Martins in office support. Together, they navigate the town's unusually high crime rate, bringing fresh dynamics and wit to British crime drama television. The show also explores personal relationships and the adjustments Humphrey makes in his personal life, providing a backdrop of continuity and change for followers of his character.

The first episode of Beyond Paradise aired on February 24, 2023 and the most recent episode to air was on April 19, 2024.
