Kris Marshall from BBC’s hit show Death in Paradise has teased that he could appear in the show’s Australian spin-off<\/p>\n

Kris Marshall<\/a>, known for his role as Detective Humphrey Goodman in Death in Paradise<\/a>, has sparked excitement among fans after hinting at a possible cameo in the show’s Australian spin-off, Return to Paradise. Kris originally took over from Ben Miller, who portrayed Richard Poole until his character was dramatically killed off.<\/p>\n

Kris played Humphrey Goodman from the show’s third season through to the end of season six, where he exited the series to pursue a love story with Martha Lloyd, portrayed by Sally Bretton.<\/p>\n

However, their romantic tale didn’t end there, it continued in the spin-off series Beyond Paradise<\/a>, which follows the couple as they relocated to the Devon countryside to be closer to Martha’s family, the Mirror<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

Although he\u2019s currently focused on his role in Beyond Paradise, Kris hasn\u2019t ruled out making an appearance in Return to Paradise, which has been praised for featuring the franchise\u2019s first female lead. The show, already greenlit for a second series, stars Anna Samson as Detective Mackenzie Clarke, bringing a fresh dynamic to the ever-expanding Death in Paradise universe.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Woman’s Day Magazine about a potential crossover, Kris shared: “In the future, I’m definitely not ruling it out, no.” He added, with a hint of mystery: “Never say never.”<\/p>\n

If Kris does join the cast of Return to Paradise, he wouldn\u2019t be the first detective from the original series to appear. Ardal O’Hanlon, who played DI Jack Mooney, made a guest appearance in the spin-off\u2019s debut season.<\/p>\n

His character returned as Mackenzie\u2019s superior from London, and rumours suggest he may return again for the second series of the Aussie drama.<\/p>\n

The Death in Paradise and Beyond Paradise storylines have crossed before. In Beyond Paradise’s first season, fans were delighted to see Humphrey return to the Caribbean with Martha, marking the first on-screen meeting between Humphrey and current DI Neville Parker.<\/p>\n

Though producers have yet to confirm another crossover, filming for Return to Paradise is already underway and the possibility of Humphrey Goodman appearing has fans buzzing.<\/p>\n

Adding fuel to the speculation, Kris Marshall was recently spotted in Australia, prompting fans to wonder if a cameo is already in the works for Return to Paradise.<\/p>\n

One fan speculated on a Facebook fan page: “I wonder what Humph’s doing here in Australia? Perhaps a Return to Paradise cameo.”<\/p>\n

Another enthusiast responded, showing just how happy the cross over would make them. They wrote: “That would be spectacularly awesome – DI Goodman in Return to Paradise – with DI Mooney – hope so!”.<\/p>\n

A third chimed in, stating: “Yes, my favourite detective, this needs to happen.”<\/p>\n
