Beyond Paradise drops brand new season 4 trailer that teases Humphrey’s “impossible decision”

Okay, so the trailer for Beyond Paradise season four just dropped, and things are looking tense! It seems DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) is facing a really tough call. We already knew from the season description that he’d have to make a decision that could seriously impact everyone at the police station, but the trailer makes it clear: someone’s getting fired! It’s going to be a dramatic season, hitting our screens on Friday, March 27th.

The brief trailer revealed that Humphrey is being asked to reduce his team, and he’s the one who has to decide who will be let go.

I’m so excited for the new season! The trailer and what I’ve read suggest big changes for Humphrey – he and Martha are finally leaving the boat and moving into a house! Plus, it sounds like they’re promising some really interesting cases, and even a murder mystery, which is a bit different for this show – those don’t happen too often in the Death in Paradise world, so I’m definitely intrigued!

The investigation into a novelist’s death becomes complicated as the lines between reality and local legends begin to fade, especially since the novelist had predicted their own death.

What began as a captivating evening of Dark Morris dancing quickly took a turn for the worse, complicated by a treasure map’s disappearance and unexpected return, and rumors of a vengeful mermaid seen off the coast.
