Kris Marshall Returns in First Look: Beyond Paradise Season 4 Cases Unveiled

A first-look trailer has arrived for Beyond Paradise Season 4. Kris Marshall returns as DI Humphrey Goodman, and cases are unveiled ahead of the premiere.

Trailer revelations

The clip introduces a character played by Vincent Franklin. He warns Humphrey the force must downsize and forces a decision.

Humphrey must consider losing Esther, Kelby, or Margo. Those roles are played by Zahra Ahmadi, Dylan Llewellyn, and Felicity Montagu.

The footage also teases a potential murder investigation. That would mark a rarer, darker case for the series.

Cases and plot points

Producers released a synopsis for the six-episode run. It outlines several unusual investigations for the team.

  • The death of a novelist who predicted the team’s demise.
  • A supposedly magical Dark Morris night that turns sour.
  • A stolen treasure map that suddenly reappears.
  • An alleged sighting of a vengeful mermaid at sea.

The synopsis adds that Humphrey and Martha will search for a new home. Humphrey also faces an impossible choice at the station.

Personal developments

The new series follows a 2025 Christmas special. That special saw Humphrey and Martha marry, with Don Warrington’s Selwyn as best man.

The trailer shows the couple looking for a marital home. Their domestic life will run alongside the new investigations.

Cast and guest stars

Regulars returning include Kris Marshall and Sally Bretton. Zahra Ahmadi, Dylan Llewellyn and Felicity Montagu are also back.

Vincent Franklin joins the cast in a key role. Guest appearances include Melanie Walters and Colin McFarlane.

Phil Daniels will reprise his fisherman character, Marvellous Harris, from season one. His return connects to earlier story threads.

Episodes and release

Beyond Paradise Season 4 comprises six episodes. It premieres on Friday 27 March at 8pm on BBC One and on iPlayer.
