Everything we know about Death in Paradise spin-off, Return to Paradise
We are loving Beyond Paradise’s return for season two, but the spin-off is getting us even more hyped up for the third show to enter the Death in Paradise cinematic universe; Return to Paradise! With casting announcements and plot details coming in thick and fast, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming BBC comedy-drama…
Lead Detective:
With Kris Marshall heading up Beyond Paradise, and Ralf Little (until recently) being the lead detective, this time we have our first female detective lead the way! The story follows a London Met police officer named Mackenzie Clark, who will be played by the former Home and Away star Anna Samson.
Plot Summary:
Mackenzie is smashing it in London Met, but after an incident at work, she reluctantly returns to her hometown of Dolphin Cove. Having left the town – and her ex-fiancée – six years earlier, she doesn’t receive a warm welcome back, but the local police station could certainly benefit from her skills - and she is soon tasked with finding out the killer in her first murder case.
Cast:
There is an impressive group of cast members for this one, with Ted Lasso star Lloyd Griffith joining Anna, alongside fellow Home and Away alum Tai Hara, Total Control actress Catherine McClements, The Artful Dodger star Andrea Demetriades and Gold Diggers actor Aaron McGrath.
Connection to Death in Paradise:
Since Death in Paradise and Beyond Paradise have a clear link in that Humphrey Goodman was a detective on the island of St Marie before heading to settle down with his fiance in Devon, it stands to reason that Return to Paradise might also see Mackenzie have some sort of link to someone from the DiP universe. We’ll have to watch and find out!
Anticipation and Expectations:
Speaking about the new show, Head of BBC Programme Acquisition Sue Deeks said: “Everything we all love about Death in Paradise - the humour, the beautiful scenery, the likeable characters, the ingenious plots - now in a fabulous Australian setting. I cannot wait for BBC viewers to be introduced to Detective Mack and the good (and not-so-good!) folk of Dolphin Cove. What a treat we have in store!” We can’t wait!
Release Date:
Since filming is currently underway in Sydney as well as the Illawarra coastal region, there is yet to be a release date for the new show - but watch this space!
Conclusion:
Get ready for an exciting new addition to the Death in Paradise universe with Return to Paradise! With a fresh lead detective, intriguing plot, and talented cast, this spin-off promises to keep fans on the edge of their seats. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready to dive back into the world of mystery and intrigue!
