Derry Girls star Dylan Llewellyn is part of the cast of the new Death in Paradise spin-off series, Beyond Paradise, which has begun filming for the BBC in southwest England this week.

The series sees Death in Paradise duo Kris Marshall and Sally Bretton reprising their roles as Humphrey Goodman and Martha Lloyd, respectively.

The BBC teases: "Seeking a quieter life away from the stress of the city, Humphrey has taken a job as a Detective Inspector in fiancée Martha's hometown.

"However, they soon find that country life is anything but peaceful and Humphrey can't help but be distracted by the town's surprisingly high crime rate with a new, and very different, case challenging him and the team each week."

Derry Girls' Llewellyn plays PC Kelby Hartford. He is joined by Zahra Ahmadi (The Bay) as DS Esther Williams and Felicity Montagu (This Time with Alan Partridge) as office support civilian Margo Martins.

When the show was announced in June, Marshall said: "I had the best time playing Humphrey out in Guadeloupe and whilst I was delighted that he got his happy ending with Martha, I always wanted to know what happened next.

"So it's a joy to be putting his crumpled jacket back on and seeing how life has panned out for him back in the UK.

"Working with Sally is a dream, and I can't wait to continue Humphrey and Martha's story and solve a few seemingly impossible mysteries along the way."
