A Death in Paradise favourite is preparing to reunite with Kris Marshall in the forthcoming series of Beyond Paradise.
Colin McFarlane, who portrayed Anton Burrage in series four, episode six of Death in Paradise, will be appearing in Beyond Paradise as a guest star. Colin originally encountered Humphrey whilst he was serving as the principal detective in Saint Marie.
The new series, arriving later this month on BBC iPlayer and BBC One, will also showcase additional guest stars, including Susan George, Phil Daniels, Michael Cochrane, Melanie Walters, and Vincent Franklin.
Making a comeback to the picturesque seaside town alongside Kris Marshall, who portrays DI Humphrey Goodman and Sally Bretton, who portrays Martha Lloyd, are Zahra Ahmadi (DS Esther Williams), Dylan Llewellyn (PC Kelby Hartford), Barbara Flynn (Anne Lloyd) and Felicity Montagu (Margo Martins), Jamie Bamber (Archie Hughes), Melina Sinadinou (Zoe Williams), Eva Feiler (Lucy Thompson), and Phil Daniels (Marvelous Harris).

The synopsis for the forthcoming series reveals, “DI Humphrey Goodman and the team will be back in Shipton Abbott as they investigate the death of a novelist who predicted their demise, a magical night of Dark Morris that soon turns sour, a stolen treasure map that suddenly reappears, and the alleged sighting of a vengeful mermaid lurking out at sea,” reports the Express.
“Humphrey (Kris Marshall) and Martha (Sally Bretton) launch into married life as they search for a new home, whilst Humphrey wrestles with an impossible decision that may change the lives of everyone at the station forever.”
