Return to Paradise comes to an end tonight, but will Glenn and Daisy end up getting married? The Death in Paradise spin-off, which is set in Australia, has been a huge hit with fans after Anna Samson, who plays DI Mackenzie Clarke, took on the role of the show’s first female lead.
The synopsis for tonight’s grand finale teases, “Mack is forced to interrupt Glenn and Daisy’s wedding when a guest collapses and dies, apparently poisoned by a fast-acting toxin present on the surface of a programme for the event.
“The happy couple are distinctly unhappy when the proceedings are halted and it may be that Mack has finally pushed Glenn too far.”
However, after six action-packed episodes of the BBC drama, series two of Return to Paradise will come to an end. The programme, which usually airs every Friday at 8pm, will be replaced by the Celebrity Masterchef Final next week.
The synopsis for the show, which will air between 8pm and 9pm on Friday, December 19, reads, “Fifteen famous faces started the battle to become Celebrity MasterChef Champion 2025 and now only three remain.
“The finalists must now cook and present a three-course meal for Grace Dent and John Torode, who will be expecting only the very best. The title is within reach – but any flaws in their cooking could see the contestants losing their grip on the trophy.”
While series two of Return to Paradise has come to an end, fans don’t need to worry as there will be a Death in Paradise and Beyond Paradise Christmas special hitting screens later this month.
Kris Marshall will be back as DI Humphrey Goodman in Beyond Paradise alongside Sally Bretton, who plays his love, Martha Lloyd.
The synopsis for the Christmas special teases, “When Esther discovers a man on the steps of the Shipton Abbott police station with no memory, holding a photo of Humphrey, the team gets to work to uncover who the mysterious man is while balancing a flurry of festive cases.
“At the same time, with the help of Anne, Zoe and a special guest, Martha races to pull off her secret plan while Kelby tries to help a mystery man trapped inside his snowman costume. But with an influx of unexpected visitors, a slew of holiday crimes to crack, and a heartwarming reunion on the line, can the team juggle it all and still be ready for a life-changing reveal?”
While Don Gilet reprises his role as DI Mervin Wilson in Death in Paradise alongside Shantol Jackson, who plays his sidekick, Naomi Thomas.
The synopsis for the Death in Paradise festive instalment reads, “The office Christmas party of a lifetime takes a dark turn when four co-workers wake up to find a stranger dead in the pool of their Caribbean villa. DI Mervin Wilson and the team identify the murder weapon, but they’re left baffled when they find that it was locked in a drawer when the murder took place… thousands of miles away from the crime scene, in Swindon!
“Stuck in Saint Marie, the team calls on the help of a familiar face to crack the case. Meanwhile, Mervin’s anxiously waiting to hear back from his newly discovered brother, which prevents him from embracing Saint Marie’s Christmas celebrations. Can Mervin resolve his family situation and get into the festive spirit – for the sake of his team and the island?”
Return to Paradise is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
