Kris Marshall returned to our screens as DI Humphrey Goodman last year, swapping the sunny shores of Guadeloupe for the British coast. Beyond Paradise, the successful spinoff to BBC One's beloved Death in Paradise followed the detective as he and his fiancée Martha (Sally Breton) adjusted to life in the fictional town of Shipton Abbott in Devon.
Joined by Dylan Llewellyn, Zahra Ahmadi, Felicity Montagu and more, the first season of the quirky mystery drama was hugely successful, which is why it's been renewed for a second season which premieres on Friday 22 March. Click the video below for a first look...
Where is Beyond Paradise filmed?
While Beyond Paradise is technically set in Devon, the show was mainly filmed in the neighbouring county of Cornwall. Back in 2022, Kris Marshall was spotted shooting scenes near a bridge in Looe town centre, before moving to the fire station. A picturesque fishing harbour famed for its beautiful beachfront, it's hardly surprising that this seaside town became a primary filming location.

Speaking exclusively to HELLO! about the show's beautiful locations, actors Felicity Montagu and Dylan Llewellyn revealed what they got up to in between filming.
While the Derry Girls alum recalled that he and Zahra Ahmadi would kick back at the cinema, Felicity opened up about exploring the Cornish coastline. "I swam around some bays in Fowey and I did some walking," she said. "The countryside's just beautiful and the sea. The sea was so warm at the beginning of the job and then it got colder and colder!"

Overall most scenes were filmed in Cornwall, locals also spotted the cast in some regions of Devon, including Tamar Valley, Bere Ferrers and Weir Quay.
Where was Beyond Paradise season two filmed?
The second series of Beyond Paradise has been filmed in many of the same locations as season one. Therefore, we can expect the seafront and harbour of Looe to be making more appearances going forward.
