Thursday 30 June 2022 by Matt Maynard  News

The BBC has confirmed that a Death in Paradise spin-off is on its way, and that Kris Marshall will reprise his role as DI Humphrey Goodman.

Kris Marshall appeared in seasons three to six, after succeeding Ben Miller, who was brutally murdered at the very start of the third season, which allowed Marshall to come in and take his place.

As the Tweet suggests, the spin-off show will be named Beyond Paradise and will also see the return of Sally Bretton as Martha Lloyd, and will follow their story after their life together in Guadeloupe. 

In a statement about returning as DI Humphrey, Marshall said: 

"I had the best time playing Humphrey out in Guadeloupe and whilst I was delighted that he got his happy ending with Martha, I always wanted to know what happened next.

"So it's a joy to be putting his crumpled jacket back on and seeing how life has panned out for him back in the UK."

"Working with Sally is a dream, and I can't wait to continue Humphrey and Martha's story and solve a few seemingly impossible mysteries along the way."

Beyond Paradise will be available on BBC One and BritBox International.
