Filming has commenced on the first Christmas special and second series of the BBC's hugely successful crime drama Beyond Paradise. Co-commissioned with BritBox International and coming to BBC One and iPlayer, fans will be eager to see what’s next for Humphrey and Martha following their make-or-break trip to Saint Marie at the end of the last series.
　　Series one of Beyond Paradise became the UK’s most successful new drama launch of the year so far, averaging 8 million viewers, when it made its debut on BBC One and iPlayer earlier this year.
　　The Christmas special episode and second series will see the return of Kris Marshall as DI Humphrey Goodman, Sally Bretton as Martha Lloyd, Zahra Ahmadi as DS Esther Williams, Dylan Llewellyn as PC Kelby Hartford, Barbara Flynn as Anne Lloyd and Felicity Montagu as Margo Martins.
　　Filmed in picturesque locations around South-West England in Devon and Cornwall, the new series features the same joyful escapism, humour and mind-boggling cases fans have come to adore since series one. Shipton Abbott’s new detective inspector will be tasked with solving a shocking crime on a steam train, an arson attack predicted by a medium and the baffling disappearance of the local fishing legend.

　　反黑組高級督察國鋒（郭晉安 飾）為人正義、鐵面無私，本來有一個其樂融融的家庭。不料卻因整日忙于工作疏于照顧家庭而導(dǎo)致妻子阿玲和從美國回來的前男友阿John復(fù)合，離婚時國鋒誓要取得兒子謙仔的撫養(yǎng)權(quán)。無奈下阿玲只得告知國鋒真相，謙仔原來是她和前男友的兒子，于此同時謙仔得十分古怪的血液病，國鋒無奈之下只好答應(yīng)讓謙仔跟阿John和阿玲移民美國去治病。
　　國鋒多年前曾親手將自己的好友阿庭逮捕歸案，阿庭別無所求，只求阿峰在他坐牢期間幫忙照顧他的女友阿蘭（劉雅麗 飾）。阿蘭經(jīng)營著一間酒吧，由此經(jīng)常有些麻煩，國鋒次次都出面幫她解決。新調(diào)來的美女同事雅麗（袁潔瑩 飾）誤認(rèn)為國鋒因為阿蘭才拋妻棄子，故對他一直看不順眼。國鋒的好友兼同事家榮（張家輝 飾）喜歡上了雅麗，三人在合作過程不時擦出火花。他們能否順利處理好工作上、感情上的矛盾？

　　該衍生劇講述了社交能力強(qiáng)、戀愛經(jīng)驗豐富卻對人類戀愛感到厭倦的青年功介，意外墜入兩段“非典型戀情”的成長故事。在決定只愛動物后，功介對住院的狗狗“優(yōu)卡”一見鐘情，并暗戀著狗咖啡店“Lovely Tails Café”的店長宮瀨優(yōu)香。然而，無論是面對優(yōu)香還是優(yōu)卡，向來自信滿滿的功介都發(fā)現(xiàn)自己毫無勝算，陷入苦惱。故事聚焦于他“敗犬”式的情感掙扎與內(nèi)心成長，是本篇未曾呈現(xiàn)的另一面戀愛插曲。
