Filming for season four of Beyond Paradise will reportedly begin this summer, even before the third instalment wraps up.
The future of Beyond Paradise appears to be “confirmed” ahead of its season three finale. The popular crime drama returned to BBC One with its third season last month, and the final episode is scheduled to air next Friday (May 2).
However, reports now suggest that another instalment might be in the works. Although the BBC hasn’t officially announced a fourth season, TV Zone has reported that filming for the next season of the popular crime drama is expected to begin in July. According to the outlet, this information is based on production listings they’ve seen.
Advertisement Launched in 2023, Beyond Paradise follows DI Humphrey Goodman, played by Kris Marshall, as he moves from Saint Marie to Shipton Abbott with his fiancée, Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton).
There, the couple navigates a range of unusual cases with the help of Humphrey’s team — DS Esther Williams (Zahra Ahmadi), PC Kelby Hartford (Dylan Llewellyn), and office assistant Margo Martins (Felicity Montagu).
The show’s cast also includes Melina Sinadinou, Jamie Bamber, and Barbara Flynn.

Season three has presented the team with tough cases, including bodies found in rivers, poisoned chocolates, farm-related conflicts, and suspicious incidents at sea.
Meanwhile, fans grew concerned after Anne was seen making a secretive visit to the doctor upon discovering a troubling mole on her back, according to Cornwall Live.
Humphrey and Martha are also facing the emotional ups and downs of fostering in their current storyline, adding a relatable layer of personal struggle for many viewers. Sally Bretton, who plays Martha, previously spoke about the importance of the storyline, saying:
It was really important the storylines felt right, and we’re a healthy representation of what fostering can be like.
The truisms in the script have to be truly representative of people’s actual journey, for people who are actually experiencing this.

Beyond Paradise is currently available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
