The BBC has released the official trailer and set a March premiere date for ‘Beyond Paradise‘ Season 3 as the hit crime drama starring Kris Marshall and Sally Bretton returns.
We are back in Shipton Abbott for a thrilling new series of the hugely successful crime drama. Packed with mystery, humour, and heart, we follow DI Humphrey Goodman and the team as they tackle more mind-boggling puzzles, all set against the breathtaking landscapes of Devon and Cornwall.
When a body is found in the river on the county border, Humphrey and Esther are thrown in the deep end, having to work alongside their Cornish counterparts. Things take a darker turn in the next case when Kelby’s friend receives threatening messages from an unknown source. With further mysteries including a puzzling chocolate box poisoning, a historic farming feud, a spiking at sea, and a devilish kidnapping, there’s plenty to keep the Shipton Abbott detectives on their toes.
Away from the police station, Humphrey and Martha continue their fostering journey but the arrival of 9-year-old Rosie brings more challenges than they anticipated. Elsewhere, an unexpected change in Esther’s personal life takes her outside her comfort zone. But is she ready for something new and can she deal with it being public knowledge?
As Zoe continues to thrive in her role at the Ten Mile Kitchen, she makes a bold decision, but how will she tell Esther, and what will her reaction be? Meanwhile, Anne faces a health scare which brings back traumatic memories. Not wanting to burden Martha, she keeps it to herself until an unlikely friendship blossoms.
After discovering the Chief Superintendent has a new boyfriend, Kelby decides it’s time to move on. On a mission to better himself personally and professionally, he enters the world of online dating with the help of Margo’s expertise.
The third season 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, Felicity Montagu as Margo Martins, Jade Harrison as CS Charlie Woods, and Melina Sinadinou as Zoe Williams.
