Great news for fans of the hit BBC series, Beyond Paradise! The show, which was one of the most successful series last year, has been renewed for a third season. This announcement comes amidst speculation about the future of another popular BBC show, Death in Paradise. While there have been talks about possible successors for leading man Ralf Little, such as Rupert Grint and Matthew Horne, fans of Beyond Paradise can rest easy knowing that their favorite spin-off is here to stay.
For those who may not be familiar with the show, Beyond Paradise follows the story of DI Humphrey Goodman (played by Kris Marshall) and his fiancée Martha Lloyd (played by Sally Bretton) as they try to adjust to life on the Devonshire coast. The show received mixed reviews during its initial run, but still managed to attract a huge viewership of nearly nine million people within its first 30 days. After two seasons and a Christmas special, Beyond Paradise has definitely solidified itself as a fan favorite.
And now, the wait is finally over! The BBC, along with BritBox and Red Planet Pictures, have confirmed that Beyond Paradise will be returning for a third season. Viewers will once again be transported to the charming town of Shipton Abbott and follow the lives of Humphrey and Martha as they navigate their new life together.
Speaking of the show's success, executive producer Tim Key said, "The response to series two has been fantastic. So much love goes into the making of the show and we're delighted that the audience have enjoyed it so much." He also teased that there will be a Christmas special in 2024, and promised that viewers will be in for a rollercoaster of emotions as they watch the characters' stories unfold.
Director of BBC Drama, Lindsay Salt, also expressed her excitement for the return of Beyond Paradise. "Beyond Paradise has become such a huge hit with millions of viewers across the UK. It's a show that is absolutely on a roll, and we're beyond pleased to bring more fiendishly clever mysteries from the Shipton Abbott team to the BBC."
But it's not just the thrilling murder-mysteries that have kept viewers hooked on the show. The heartwarming relationships between the characters have also resonated with the audience. In the second season, viewers saw Humphrey and Martha come very close to tying the knot, while also embarking on a heartwarming journey of fostering a child named Ryan. The season ended on a heartwarming note, leaving fans wondering what's in store for their favorite characters in the upcoming season.
For those who may not be familiar with the show's origins, Beyond Paradise is a spin-off of Death in Paradise. However, creator Tony Jordan and executive producer Tim Key have made it clear that the show is its own unique project. "We didn't want to just do a cynical spin off," Tony explained. "I think that's doomed to failure, you have to do it with a bit of integrity and create a show that's worthy of being on screen in its own right, not just as an add on to the main show."
Tim added, "We have the freedom to tell stories in a different way with this show. We have created a format where it is almost slightly format-less. We can start the show without a pre-title sequence, episode 1 doesn't have a title sequence, episode 2 does, we can tell our stories in very different ways, whereas Death in Paradise is slightly more formatted in that sense."
With its stunning location and captivating storylines, it's no wonder that Beyond Paradise has established a huge fanbase in such a short amount of time. And now, fans can look forward to more exciting mysteries, heartwarming moments, and maybe even a surprise appearance from a certain furry friend (did someone say "duck"?). The third season of Beyond Paradise is yet to be given a release date, but in the meantime, fans can catch up on the first two seasons on BBC iPlayer.
