Beyond Paradise arrived on BBC One in 2023 and did something
that almost no spin-off in television history manages. It was
as good as the show that created it. Sometimes better.

But most fans have never heard the real story.

Kris Marshall almost didn't come back at all. The fictional
Devon town is actually in Cornwall. And the star sneaked his
own children into the show without telling anyone — they're
hiding in the background of scenes across multiple series.

This is the real story of Beyond Paradise.
