The BBC has unveiled first-look pictures and guest cast for the highly anticipated fourth series of Beyond Paradise, which will premiere later this month on BBC iPlayer and BBC One. Among the guest stars is Melanie Walters, best known for her role in Gavin & Stacey, alongside Susan George, Phil Daniels, Colin McFarlane, Michael Cochrane, and Vincent Franklin.
Produced by Red Planet Pictures in a co-commission with BritBox International, the new series follows DI Humphrey Goodman and his team in Shipton Abbott as they tackle a range of puzzling cases. Mysteries include the death of a novelist who predicted their own demise, a Dark Morris night that turns sour, a stolen treasure map that reappears, and a reported sighting of a vengeful mermaid at sea.
Returning cast members include Kris Marshall as DI Humphrey Goodman, Sally Bretton as Martha, Zahra Ahmadi as DS Esther Williams, Dylan Llewellyn as PC Kelby Hartford, Barbara Flynn as Anne Lloyd, and Felicity Montagu as Margo Martins. The new episodes also feature guest appearances from Alex Macqueen, Tristan Sturrock, Andrea Lowe, Rachel Cassidy, and others.
The series sees Humphrey and Martha navigating married life while searching for a new home, as Humphrey faces an impossible decision that could change the station forever. Beyond Paradise is part of the successful Paradise franchise, which includes Death in Paradise and Return to Paradise.
