'Beyond Paradise' Season 4's First Images Welcome New Guests to Devon

BritBox may have stopped streaming what we refuse to call "the Paradise-verse" on the same day as episodes air in the U.K., but that's because Death in Paradise and its varying spinoffs don't need the boost. The long-running parent series has already debuted Season 15 on the BBC and is expected to stream in the U.S. later this spring, and its main spinoff, Beyond Paradise, is gearing up to follow suit.

If BritBox follows the same schedule as last year, it'll be autumn by the time the show rolls around here, but in the meantime, we have a smattering of first images to tide us over.

After a few false starts and an extra season of will-they-or-won't-they, DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and Martha (Sally Bretton) tied the knot as part of Beyond Paradise's Season 3 finale and 2025 Christmas special. For those who have been watching the pair since they were Death in Paradise's leading couple, it was a fitting way to bridge the show from one in which the central pair were dancing around each other to one where they exist as a solid family unit. Season 4 now brings them back as the dependable anchor for the Devon-based series for seasons to come.

Here's the Season 4 synopsis:

New mysteries and puzzling cases await DI Humphrey Goodman and the team in Shipton Abbott. Fact and folklore blur 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. DI Humphrey Goodman and Martha 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.

Marshall (Sanditon) and Bretton (Lewis) once again lead the main cast with series stalwarts Zahra Ahmadi (The Beast Must Die) as DS Esther Williams; Dylan Llewellyn (Derry Girls) as PC Kelby Hartford; Felicity Montagu (Tom Jones) as Margo Martins; Barbara Flynn (The Durrells in Corfu) as Martha's mother, Anne Lloyd; Jamie Bamber (Cannes Confidential) as Archie Hughes; Eva Feiler (The Crown) as Nurse Lucy; Phil Daniels (Endeavour) as Marvelous Harris; and Melina Sinadinou (The Terminal List: Dark Wolf) as Ester's daughter, Zoe Williams.

Every season of Beyond Paradise ships in a bevy of guest stars to visit the seaside town (and accidentally get involved with the case of the week). For Season 4, the roster will include Kenneth Collard (Funny Woman), Rachel Cassidy (Downton Abbey), Colin McFarlane (Outlander), Melanie Walters (Gavin & Stacey), Tristan Sturrock (Poldark), Andrea Lowe (Sherwood), Michael Cochrane (Call the Midwife), Rina Mahoney (Happy Valley), Vincent Franklin (The War Between the Land & the Sea), Emily Stott (Riot Women), Alex Macqueen (Agatha Christie's Seven Dials), Narinda Samra (The Wheel of Time), James Clay (MobLand), Susan George (Clue), and Susan Penhaligon (The Dead Room).

Series creators Robert Thorogood and Tony Jordan return for Beyond Paradise Season 4 as the show's creative force, with Lindsay Hughes serving as producer. Jordan also executive produces with Tim Key for Red Planet Pictures, Robert Schildhouse & Stephen Nye for BritBox, and Danielle Scott-Haughton for the BBC.

Beyond Paradise Season 4 is set for a March 2026 premiere in the U.K. It is not expected to debut on BritBox until after both Death in Paradise Season 15 and Return to Paradise Season 2 have concluded their runs stateside.
