“Return to Paradise” has just started in Australia – after “Beyond Paradise”, the next spin-off of the long-running hit “Death in Paradise”. The series will quickly reveal how things are different down under than on the islands…

This Sunday, September 8, the Death in Paradise spin-off Return to Paradise celebrates its world premiere in Australia on ABC TV and its streaming service ABC iview. Six episodes are planned for the opening season. The series is part of the same universe as “DiP” and Beyond Paradise. However, things are a little different here than in the British model, as the preview shows…

What is the series “Return to Paradise”, the spin-off to “Death in Paradise”, about?

The Australian series is about police officer Mackenzie Clarke. She was once the high-flyer of the London police force, who was able to crack almost every case with an intuitive approach before she had to return to her beautiful but hated Australian hometown of Dolphin Cove on the coast of the continent.

Six years ago they had vowed never to return, leaving behind many unanswered questions and unresolved issues, and so they were not exactly greeted by an enthusiastic welcoming committee.

But when a murder occurs, Mack uses her skills as an investigator to get to work. She also decides to make the best of her situation and maybe even smooth things over with the man she left at the altar…
