BBC Death in Paradise star in talks about role in spin-off Beyond Paradise

Joséphine Jobert has hinted that she could be making an appearance in Death in Paradise spin-off Beyond Paradise. The BBC series, which concluded its first run last week, has been confirmed to be returning for a second series and Christmas special.

In an Instagram Q&A, the 37-year-old French actress revealed: "It's not officially planned yet, but it's a possibility that we discussed with the producer some time ago. So we’ll see if that will happen. But I would love to anyway. It would be a very nice wink."

Joséphine played Florence Cassell in the main BBC show from 2015 to 2022 and was a fan favourite with viewers. Florence, who originally worked alongside Kris Marshall's DI Humphrey Goodman, left the sunny island of Saint Marie after infiltrating a criminal gang last year.

The final episode saw Humphrey return to Saint Marie after his and Martha’s relationship broke down over their differing opinions on children. Upon returning to the island, he was greeted by several old friends - read about who made a cameo here.

Fans were thrilled by the crossover between the two series and took to social media to share their thoughts. "One of the beautiful & poignant ending of the #BeyondParadise @BeyondPOfficial (Season 1) . Absolutely loved its crossover ending with #DeathInParadise," one person wrote.

A second added: "That final episode of #BeyondParadise was amazing! The crossover of the century when my two favourite DI’s met at the bar! Now just need more #DeathInParadise." And a third wrote: "We need more @deathinparadise and @BeyondPOfficial crossovers! It was just absolutely perfect tonight! Can we have a whole crossover episode please?"

Beyond Paradise is available to watch on BBC iPlayer
