Beyond Paradise fans missing the murder mystery drama can binge-watch a three-part crime series
Fans of Beyond Paradise missing their fix can now binge-watch another murder mystery series, completely free of charge.
Devotees of the BBC crime drama were recently devastated when the programme concluded following four tremendously successful series.
Debuting in 2023, Beyond Paradise features Kris Marshall reprising his Death in Paradise character, DI Humphrey Goodman, alongside Sally Bretton as Martha Lloyd, and proved an instant sensation.
It’s therefore unsurprising that supporters will be keenly anticipating news regarding additional episodes of Beyond Paradise. In the meantime, crime drama fans can currently watch the picturesque series Murder in Provence for free.
With all three episodes now accessible on ITVX, here’s what you should know about Murder in Provence, including storyline and performers, reports the Mirror.
The ITV mystery drama is adapted from M. L. Longworth’s Verlaque and Bonnet detective novels and originally broadcast in 2022.
Roger Allam stars as Investigating Judge Antoine Verlaque alongside Nancy Carroll as Marine Bonnet, a criminal psychologist and Verlaque’s love interest.
The narrative unfolds against the stunning scenery of Aix-en-Provence, southern France, where filming took place, offering audiences ideal escapism.
Individual episodes centre on separate murder investigations, opening with a startling killing at the local university. The pair frequently deliberates over perplexing cases during mealtimes, with Marine drawing on her knowledge of criminal psychology to help resolve them.
Despite being set in France, the programme is delivered entirely in English.
The second episode sees Marine assist Antoine in revealing the truth surrounding an aristocrat’s demise, while the third follows a murder enquiry initiated after a young woman’s killing.
Viewers of Murder in Provence have expressed their opinions about the programme, with one person commenting on IMDB: “Utterly gorgeous!”
Another remarked, “Another Fun Murder Series. I love light-hearted murder series with snappy repartee dialogue and quirky characters. Vera, this is not!”
A further viewer noted: “Roger did not disappoint as Antoine Verlaque, investing judge in Aix-en-Provence.”
Allam and Carroll are accompanied by Keala Settle as Hélène Paulik, Geff Francis as François Roussel, and Patricia Hodge as Florence Bonnet in the crime drama.
