 Kris Marshall Calls for Ultimate 'Death in Paradise' Detective Reunion

Kris Marshall has fans buzzing with his latest revelation—he wants all five 'Death in Paradise' lead detectives to reunite on-screen!

A Dream Reunion for 'Death in Paradise' Fans

The beloved actor, who played DI Humphrey Goodman, recently expressed his enthusiasm for a detective crossover featuring himself, Ben Miller (DI Richard Poole), Ardal O'Hanlon (DI Jack Mooney), Ralf Little (DI Neville Parker), and Don Gilet (DI Michael Delaunay). While there isn’t an official WhatsApp group for the detectives, Kris is more than ready for a special episode uniting them all.

Speaking to Radio Times, Kris shared, “There’s no WhatsApp group, but I would love some kind of reunion where all five of us meet up on-screen.”

Kris Marshall’s Return in 'Beyond Paradise' Season 3

Fans of Kris Marshall’s DI Goodman don’t have to wait long to see him in action again. The actor reprises his role in Beyond Paradise Season 3, premiering on March 28, 2025. This time, he’s solving crimes in Shipton Abbott, Devon, alongside Sally Bretton’s Martha Lloyd.

Reflecting on filming in England rather than the sunny Guadeloupe Islands, Kris said, “We exist in a world with so many unknowns, so to have a job where we get to film in a location like this... it’s joyous! Plus, I’m a coastal person, so living down here for five months of the year is a delight.”

What to Expect from 'Beyond Paradise' Season 3

Kris teased that the upcoming season will dive deeper into Humphrey and Martha’s personal lives. While his character is known for his quirks and eccentric problem-solving methods, he reassured fans that those elements aren’t going anywhere.

“We retain an element of Humphrey’s oddities—I never want to lose them—but I’m always thinking and firing off new ideas to [series creator] Tony Jordan.”

Will the Detective Reunion Happen?

While BBC hasn’t confirmed any plans for a special reunion episode, fan enthusiasm is already sky-high. If producers see enough demand, bringing back all five detectives for a one-off special could be a game-changer for the series.
