Behind Beyond Paradise

Published May 31, 2026

I stumbled across this video yesterday, which is a nice little behind the scenes feature for the Baftas focused on the show Beyond Paradise. A spin off of the long-running Death in Paradise, this one is set in the slightly less sunny Cornwall and, surprisingly, appears to mostly be filmed in a barn.

I love behind the scenes features, it’s always surprising just how many people are involved, and how they are all so brilliant at their individual roles - with everything feeding in to this fantastic end result.

As Tim Key, Executive Producer says:

I think all TV shows are hard to make but I think sometimes the ones that are the easiest to watch are the hardest to make. And I feel like there’s a lot of shows that never get the respect that they deserve, because they have the nerve to just do something really well, entertain the audiences, attract quite large audiences. And sometimes as well, the stories that look the easiest on screen are literally the hardest to film.
