British crime drama series Beyond Paradise has been commissioned for a third season and a Christmas special by UK pubcaster the BBC and BritBox International.

Produced by Red Planet Pictures, the show is a co-commission between the broadcaster and the streamer, and has been sold to almost 60 territories by distributor BBC Studios.

A spin-off from Death In Paradise, the series sees Kris Marshall reprise his role of DI Humphrey Goodman as he investigates crime in the coastal town of Shipton Abbott.

Tony Jordan, Tim Key and Belinda Campbell are executive producers for Red Planet Pictures, Danielle Scott-Haughton for the BBC and Stephen Nye and Robert Schildhouse for BritBox International.

Lindsay Salt, director of BBC Drama, said: “Beyond Paradise has become such a huge hit with millions of viewers across the UK. It’s a show that is absolutely on a roll, and we’re beyond pleased to bring more fiendishly clever mysteries from the Shipton Abbott team to the BBC.”
