‘Death in Paradise’ Australian Spinoff Sets Female Lead


PARADISE AUSTRALIAN SPINOFF

Filming has begun on “Return to Paradise,” an Australian spin-off series of the global hit murder mystery franchise “Death in Paradise.” With filming in locations across Sydney and the Illawarra coastal region, the six-part whodunit is produced by BBC Studios Productions Australia with Red Planet Pictures for the ABC in association with the BBC. The BBC will screen the series on BBC One and iPlayer in the U.K. It will be distributed globally by BBC Studios.

“Return to Paradise” follows detective inspector Mackenzie Clarke who reluctantly returns from the U.K. to Australia and the small town where she ditched her fiancé. But once a case lands on her desk, her tenacity and endurance means she can’t rest until the killer is in handcuffs.

Taking charge as the franchise’s first lead female detective is Anna Samson (“Dead Lucky,” “Wake in Fright,” “Home and Away”). Unravelling the murder mysteries alongside her is the ensemble cast of Lloyd Griffith (“Ted Lasso,” “Nolly”), Tai Hara (“Home and Away,” “Colin From Accounts,” “Austin”), Catherine McClements (“Total Control,” “Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries”), Celia Ireland (“Wentworth,” “Total Control”), Andrea Demetriades (“Mother and Son,” “The Artful Dodger”) and Aaron McGrath (“Gold Diggers,” “Preppers”).

The British-French original show, created by Robert Thorogood, is currently in its 13th season.
