By Alice Dear

Kris Marshall, Sally Bretton and Dylan Llewellyn will return to 'Beyond Paradise' for season three, alongside stars such as Hugh Dennis, Caroline Quentin and Steve Oram as guest stars.

'Beyond Paradise' season three will hit our screens on Friday, March 28, on BBC One as the beloved Devon-based drama sees the return of Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman and his wife-to-be Martha Lloyd.

The hit series, which is a spin-off of 'Death in Paradise', follows Humphrey (Kris Marshall) and Martha (Sally Bretton) who have settled down in Shipton Abbott, on the Devon coast, with plans to live a quiet family life.

However, when DI Humphrey Goodman stepped into his new role during season one, he found that life wouldn't be as simple for the couple as they thought; from the couple's IVF struggles to Martha's heartbreaking miscarriage and the cancellation of their wedding at the end of season two.
