New stars for upcoming series of Return To Paradise revealed

Kerry Armstrong and Jacob Collins-Levy are among the newest additions for the upcoming series of Return To Paradise.

The hit BBC show is due to return for a third series and will see Anna Samson reprise her role as DS Mackenzie Clarke as she balances the chaotic fallout of her personal life with solving murder mysteries.

Set in the fictional Australian coastal town of Dolphin Cove, the new season will pick up where it left off and will follow the aftermath of the disastrous wedding between DS Clarke’s ex-fiance Glenn Strong (Tai Hara) and his new partner, Daisy Dixon (Andrea Demetriades).

It will see Australian actress Armstrong join the cast as DS Clarke’s force-of-nature mother, Jillian, while The White Princess star Collins-Levy will feature as charming new pathologist, Leo.

The detective drama is a spin-off to hit show Death In Paradise, which is set on the fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie and stars EastEnders actor Don Gilet.

The upcoming six-part series will also feature a number of celebrity guest stars including A Place To Call Home actor Mark Lee, Strife star Tina Bursill and Packed To The Rafters actress Zoe Ventoura.

Also among the guest stars are Matt Day – known for starring in Channel 4 drama Rake – and The Twelve actor Ngali Shaw, as well as Zindzi Okenyo and Anthony Hayes.

Meanwhile Lloyd Griffith will reprise his role as Colin Cartwright, and Catherine McClements will return as Philomena Strong.

Celia Ireland is also set to make a return to the hit spin-off series as Reggie Rocco, while Aaron McGrath will reprise his role as Felix Wilkinson.

Filming is currently under way for the upcoming series, with further details yet to be announced.
