BBC addresses future of Beyond Paradise - and confirms Christmas special

There’s good news for fans of Death In Paradise spin-off series Beyond Paradise as the BBC confirms a Christmas special and more episodes are on the way with star Kris Marshall

Humphrey and Martha (Sally Bretton) didn’t actually tie the knot thanks to her mother Anne (Barbara Flynn) going a bit bridezilla with the preparations and then cancelling the whole thing, but there was still romance in the air, not just between the not-married couple but also because Kelby (Dylan Llewellyn) got a sweet peck on the cheek from CS Charlie Woods (Jade Harrison) as thanks for his help in solving a crime involving her grandmother. While the series didn’t end on a cliffhanger, there are lots of questions left to be answered, including whether Humphrey and Martha will ever make it down the aisle, and how they will progress as foster parents to Ryan, so fans will be pleased to learn this was not our final visit to the Devon paradise. Kris Marshall’s character Humphrey first appeared as the new detective on the island of Saint Marie in the third series of Death in Paradise, though he left the sandy beaches and sunny weather of the Caribbean to reunite with his former girlfriend Martha in London.
