Death In Paradise spin-off Return To Paradise will air on BBC One this month, it’s now been announced. More details here.
We are only a few weeks away from the introduction of Don Gilet as the new DI on Death In Paradise. A Christmas special will air in December, followed by the 14th series in 2025. Spin-off Beyond Paradise, starring Kris Marshall and Sally Bretton, is also returning for a Christmas special, followed by the third series.
But! Are you following this? There’s another show too. The second spin-off is Return To Paradise.
According to the BBC, the synopsis reads as follows (make a cup of tea – it’s quite long):
Return to Paradise follows DI Mackenzie Clarke (Anna Samson), an Australian ex-pat who’s made a name for herself in London’s Metropolitan Police for cracking uncrackable murder cases. When she is accused of tampering with evidence, Mackenzie returns to Australia, back to the last place she ever wanted to be – her hometown of Dolphin Cove. Having fled the town six years ago, infamously leaving her ex- fiancée Glenn (Tai Hara) at the altar, Mackenzie is not welcome there. But with no other job options, and a unique talent for solving a mystery, no matter how challenging, a reluctant Mack joins the team at Dolphin Cove Police Station. Once a case lands on her desk, she can’t rest until she’s figured it out, and the killer is in handcuffs. It’s that tenacity and work ethic that might just, over time, help Mackenzie win over her new colleagues, and the people of Dolphin Cove.
The cast also includes Lloyd Griffith, Tai Hara, Catherine McClements, Celia Ireland, Andrea Demetriades and Aaron McGrath.
Death In Paradise creator Robert Thorogood created the series with Peter Mattessi and James Hall, with Mat King and Tenika Smith directing.
According to the Radio Times, we now learn that Return To Paradise will air on BBC One from the 22nd November.
