Beyond Paradise returns to our screens this week for another enthralling mystery but who is set to feature alongside Kris Marshall in the cast of episode 2?
After last week’s charming introduction to Shipton Abbott in Beyond Paradise, the Death In Paradise spin-off continues with one of the most puzzling mysteries that DI Humphrey Goodman has ever had to face.
While still getting to grips with his new surroundings, episode 2 of Beyond Paradise sees Humphrey tasked with investigating the disappearance of an entire family with a host of new cast members crossing his path.
Beyond Paradise episode 2 release date and plot preview
Episode 2 of Beyond Paradise arrives on BBC One and iPlayer at 8pm on Friday, March 3, 2023.
After the heart-wrenching final moments of last week’s first episode, Humphrey and fiancée Martha throw themselves into their work to distract from the tragic loss in their efforts to start a family.
Humphrey is faced with one of the most confusing cases he’s ever come across as an entire family has gone missing without a trace, even leaving the TV and lights on and meals half-finished.
Meanwhile, Martha prepares for the long-awaited opening of her café but when a face from her past shows up, it threatens to drag up events she’d long hoped to forget while also making Humphrey incredibly jealous in the process.
