BBC Beyond Paradise fans issue three-word response as beloved crime drama returns
Beyond Paradise fans were united in their reaction just minutes into the season three premiere on Friday (March 28).
The much-loved crime drama made its eagerly awaited comeback on BBC One tonight, featuring DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and DS Esther Williams (Zahra Ahmadi) teaming up with their counterparts in Cornwall.
The episode kicked off with the discovery of a body in a river on the Devon-Cornwall border, which rival detectives quickly write off as an unfortunate accident. However, Humphrey has his suspicions that there’s more to the story.
At the same time, Humphrey’s fiancée Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton) was looking to expand her thriving business, Ten Mile Kitchen.
Just as things appear to be running smoothly, a curveball is thrown at Martha and Humphrey, disrupting their plans, reports the Express.
This episode not only brought back regulars like Dylan Llewellyn and Felicity Montagu, but also featured special guest stars including Hugh Dennis, Angela Curran, Gabby Best, Jamie Bamber, Steve Oram, Amalia Vitale, and Jade Harrison.
As devoted fans settled in to catch the new season, they didn’t hesitate to express their delight at seeing the detectives on-screen again.
“It’s about time that #BeyondParadise returns! And to have my fave back is an absolute added bonus,” one viewer exclaimed on X (formerly Twitter), while another chimed in: “I’ve missed you #BeyondParadise.”
A third enthusiast confessed: “Staying in on a Friday night to watch the return of #BeyondParadise. What have I become?” while another shared their anticipation: “I am beyond excited for #BeyondParadise.”
Others expressed joy as the BBC spin-off would be followed by long-running crime series Death in Paradise at 9pm.
One fan highlighted, “It’s a Beyond Death Friday double,” and another commented on the back-to-back schedule, saying: “Oh now it’s #BeyondParadise now then in an hour #DeathInParadise what a brilliant night of TV.”
Reiterating the excitement, an additional viewer remarked: “So excited for a double dose of paradise tonight. Let’s go!”
