BBC unveils new look at Death in Paradise spin-offBBC

The BBC has released some new images and a fresh trailer for Death in Paradise's newest spin-off Return to Paradise.

The latest entry in the murder mystery franchise takes place in Australia, as Aussie ex-pat DI Mackenzie Clarke has to leave the UK after she's accused of tampering with evidence.

Returning to her hometown of Dolphin Cove, where she left her ex-fiancée Glenn at the altar, Mackenzie is unsurprised to receive a less-than-warm welcome. She doesn't really want to be there either, so she gets a job with the local police force and throws herself into her work.

Of course, with all the killing going on, she's definitely going to be busy.

The short trailer introduces us to the show's main characters. In addition to Mackenzie and Glenn, there's Mackenzie's partner Colin Cartwright, police volunteer Reggie Rocco and PC Felix Wilkinson.

Fans in Australia have already had the chance to watch the entire season, and thankfully UK viewers don't have long to wait at all, as Return to Paradise premieres at the end of next week.
