BBC's hit crime drama Beyond Paradise is set to return for a second series. The show, which has been hailed as the UK's most successful new drama launch of the year so far, will air on BBC One and iPlayer later this year. The Christmas special episode and the second series will see the return of Kris Marshall as DI Humphrey Goodman, Sally Bretton as Martha Lloyd, Zahra Ahmadi as DS Esther Williams, Dylan Llewellyn as PC Kelby Hartford, Barbara Flynn as Anne Lloyd, and Felicity Montagu as Margo Martins. Filmed in picturesque locations around South-West England in Devon and Cornwall, the new series features the same joyful escapism, humour and mind-boggling cases fans have come to adore since series one. It will also feature a shocking crime on a steam train, an arson attack predicted by a medium, and the baffling disappearance of the local fishing legend.
