'Beyond Paradise's' Guest Cast Is Stacked for Season 3

Beyond Paradise initially started as Death in Paradise's not-nearly-as-cool younger sibling, taking the parent show's main selling point (being set in the Caribbean) and doing away with it in favor of Devon's picturesque (and much closer to home) southern coast. (One assumes the title Death in Much More Commutable Locations was not considered.) But the home truth the production had hit on was that, like many cozy crime shows, it's not the location that matters as much as the ensemble viewers want to hang out with every week.

Fans loved hanging out with DI Humphrey and his love interest Martha when they solved crimes in a place that is a 14-hour flight from home. Of course, they'll love them when they're just a couple of hours south of London. In fact, Beyond Paradise has become so popular that it has yearly Christmas specials, and Season 3 continues that tradition, with multiple new recurring characters returning this season who were introduced in the December 2024 special.

The holiday episode (which is streaming on BritBox for those who missed it) also set up Humphrey and Martha for a new foster placement to move in for Season 3, and the first images from the season include our first look at newcomer Bella Rei Blue Stevenson as Rosie, who arrives in Shipton Abbott as the Goodman-Lloyd household's newest resident.
