Death in Paradise fans demand spin-off and huge return | UK News

For over a decade, BBC viewers have watched numerous uncommon crimes unfold on the fictional island of Saint Marie as the police pressure works together to resolve the case. Death in Paradise has been a huge hit with fans since it first aired back in 2011, with the likes of Don Miller, Kris Marshall, Ardal O’Hanlon, Ralf Little and Don Gilet fronting the show over the years.

Since the unique collection aired, there have been two spin-offs that have been equally as fashionable with fans of the show. Beyond Paradise follows DI Humphrey Goodman’s (Kris Marshall) life away from the Caribbean island with his now spouse, Martha Lloyd (performed by Sally Bretton). More just lately, the BBC viewers noticed the start of Return to Paradise, following DI Mackenzie Clarke (Anna Samson), who has left London to go back to her hometown of Dolphin Cove in Australia.

With two spin-offs already huge hits with fans of the Paradise world, one particular person questioned the potential for other reveals in the future.

On a Reddit thread, they requested: “So, Beyond Paradise is a spin-off for this great show. If there were to be another spin-off, who would you like to see on it as DI?

“Commissioner (promotion for a DI?) and any of the crew members, past, current, or future? Also, WHERE would you want to see it filmed? What sort of vibe are we trying for?”

It wasn’t long before people commented on the thread, with one fan urging two fan-favourites to make a comeback to the franchise.

They said: “Honestly, I’d love to see Florence and Neville fixing crimes while on their everlasting trip. Each new location, a new thriller that only they will resolve.”

Many were in agreement with the idea of Ralf Little and Joséphine Jobert reprising their roles in the BBC franchise. One person responded: “That can be fairly cool, really.” As another added: “Great concept. Sort of like Good Ship illegal killing.”

However, someone else thinks the spotlight should be on Commissioner Selwyn Patterson, calling for a prequel series.

They wrote: “A collection set in the 70s and 80s that focuses on a younger Selwyn, not as lead detective, but as a DC/DS. It would give us a few factors of uniqueness.

“The show is focused on someone other than the lead detective It’s a period piece. We get to see Selwyn’s career as he develops from rough-around-the-edges new recruit uniform officer, we see his marriage, and its breakdown, and his friend Catherine, who is saving to buy a bar.”
