Beyond Paradise’s Kris Marshall teases spin-off's “new Harry the lizard"
The Death in Paradise spin-off may be getting a CGI sidekick of its own, according to Kris Marshall.
While Death in Paradise detectives may come and go, the one constant fans can always rely on is Harry the Lizard – and now it seems as though his cousin may be stopping by spin-off Beyond Paradise.
The upcoming BBC show, which sees Kris Marshall reprise his Death in Paradise role as Humphrey Goodman, follows the former Saint Marie detective as he moves to his new UK home of Shipton Abbott with fiancée Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton).
Speaking ahead of the show's premiere, Marshall revealed what Humphrey misses the most from Saint Marie.
"Well, he does miss Harry the lizard, of course," he said. "But maybe there's a new Harry the lizard in Beyond Paradise... who's not called Harry, and isn't a lizard!"
The spin-off sees Humphrey and Martha navigate new life in the countryside with the detective joining the local police station, solving cases with DS Esther Williams (Zahra Ahmadi), PC Kelby Hartford (Dylan Llewellyn) and Margo Martins (Felicity Montagu).

Much like Death in Paradise, Beyond Paradise will feature a slew of impressive guest stars, including Bad Sisters' Yasmine Akram, Endeavour's David Reed, The Lazarus Project's Nina Singh, Doctor Who's Annette Badland and EastEnders star Davood Ghadami.
BBC One shared a new trailer for the detective drama last week, giving fans a sneak peek at the local police force and Humphrey in action, with the copper saying: "I just prefer good old-fashioned policing. Everything is not quite as it seems."
