Death in Paradise star Kris Marshall says the way crimes are solved on new show Beyond Paradise is 'completely unique'
The 49-year-old star reprises his role as DI Humphrey Goodman for the new 'Death in Paradise' spin-off show, and Kris believes the programme will be "thought provoking" for viewers, especially because he claims the way the show is shot is unprecedented.
He said: "It's a really unique show. I don't think it's a show that's been done before in terms of the way we shoot.
"Without giving too much away, the way we shoot the denouements and how we solve the crime is completely unique.
"There are a lot of laughs and there is lot of fun in the show, but I think it's also very thought provoking. We're maintaining that sunny disposition."
The BBC show follows Humphrey and his fiancée Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton) after their nail-biting will-they-won’t-they romance reached its emotional finale in 'Death in Paradise' in 2017.
Humphrey followed Martha back from Saint Marie to London to declare his undying love for her, and the programme will see the couple embark on their new life in the fictional Shipton Abbott, Martha’s hometown near the beautiful Devonshire coast, where she sets out to pursue her dream of running her own restaurant and he joins the local police force.
Kris is hoping 'Beyond Paradise' can have a similar effect to how 'Death in Paradise' has helped families to bond.
He added: "In my experience of doing 'Death in Paradise', when people have come up to me and said how much they enjoy the show - all over the world - they've often said how much it's made them bond with members of their own family.
"Mothers and fathers have said it's helped them bond with their teenage kids, parents have said they can bond with their parents and grandparents. It's a family show that you can sit down and watch with everyone.
"Despite the subject matter, it’s kind of feel good. With there being many gritty and brilliant cop dramas out there, I think in our kind of shows sail down a different path and make it more fun and more tongue-in-cheek. We don't take ourselves too seriously."
'Beyond Paradise' will begin on BBC One on February 24th.
