Where Should the Next Death in Paradise Spin-Off Be Set? Beyond Paradise Cast Weighs In

The Death in Paradise universe keeps expanding, and fans can’t get enough! With Beyond Paradise thriving in Cornwall and Return to Paradise making waves in Australia, the question on everyone's mind is: where should the next installment take place? The cast of Beyond Paradise has some exciting ideas, and their choices might just surprise you.

The Future of Death in Paradise: Where Could It Go Next?

The Death in Paradise franchise has captivated audiences with its breathtaking settings, intriguing mysteries, and lovable characters. Now, with multiple successful spin-offs, the potential for another fresh location is huge. But where should it be set? According to Beyond Paradise stars Zahra Ahmadi, Dylan Llewellyn, and Felicity Montagu, the possibilities are endless.

A Journey to the East? Japan or China

Felicity Montagu believes that taking the franchise to Asia could bring an exciting twist. “I’d quite like to go to China,” she shared. “They’re brilliant at stunts, and it would be amazing to see how a British detective would fit into that world.”

She also mentioned Japan as a contender, adding, “It would be brilliant there, with the culture and the technology. Imagine the contrast between the laid-back Caribbean vibes of the original and the fast-paced, high-tech world of Japan!”

An Italian Mystery Adventure?

Zahra Ahmadi had a different take: “I would be very happy to advise any police stations in Italy,” she joked. “A grand tour of the country? I’m in!”

Italy’s scenic beauty, deep-rooted history, and passionate culture could make it a perfect setting for a Death in Paradise spin-off. From the bustling streets of Rome to the serene landscapes of Tuscany, every episode could offer a visually stunning and culturally rich crime-solving experience.

Could America Be Next?

Dylan Llewellyn suggested a bold new direction: “Somewhere in America,” he proposed. “There are probably loads of shows like that, but something about it would still be fresh with the Death in Paradise charm.”

While many detective dramas exist in the U.S., the franchise’s unique style could bring something new to the table. Imagine a British detective navigating the deep South or solving crimes in the heart of New York City!

The Most Unconventional Idea? A Snowy Setting!

While Death in Paradise is known for its tropical backdrops, the actors also considered shaking things up completely. “What about somewhere in the mountains?” one of them suggested. “Chasing criminals in the snow? That would be hilarious!”

This unexpected twist could bring an entirely new dynamic to the franchise. Picture a detective, used to sun and sand, now solving cases in the icy wilderness—potentially in Switzerland, Canada, or even Iceland.

Return to Paradise Success Fuels Expansion Dreams

The latest spin-off, Return to Paradise, has been a hit, proving that Death in Paradise can work beyond the Caribbean. Set in Australia, it has already been renewed for a second season, demonstrating that audiences are eager for more.

Can Beyond Paradise Last as Long as the Original?

With Death in Paradise running for 14 successful seasons, can Beyond Paradise follow suit? Zahra Ahmadi is optimistic: “There’s so much we haven’t even scratched the surface on yet—with characters, crimes, and cases. I’d absolutely love to do 14 series of it!”

The show's success comes from its stellar cast, gripping storytelling, and the perfect balance between drama and humor. Ahmadi expressed her love for the team, saying, “I get to work with the most amazing cast and crew. I absolutely love working with Kris, Dylan, and Margo.”

What Fans Want

The Death in Paradise fandom is buzzing with suggestions for the next location. Some of the most popular fan theories include:

• Greece – Sun, sea, and ancient ruins? Sounds like the perfect crime scene.

• India – A colorful setting with deep mysteries.

• South Africa – Stunning landscapes and a rich history.

• Hawaii – A paradise within a paradise!
