A reunion concert will end in m.u.r.d.e.r and not applause on the latest episode of Return to Paradise. The hit drama has returned for a second series on the BBC this autumn.
It is the latest spin-off of D.e.a.t.h in Paradise with the action taking place in Australia this time. Dolphin Cove is preparing for the reunion of a chart-topping band, but someone has other ideas!
But when can you tune in? Here’s all you need to know:
What time is Return to Paradise on today?
The second season of the m.u.r.d.e.r mystery will continue tonight (November 7). It makes for the perfect break from the gloomy autumn weather.
Return to Paradise will start at 8pm this evening on BBC One. It will also be available live on iPlayer at the same time.
The preview, via Radio Times, reads: “Mackenzie Clarke gets VIP access to the chart-topping band Point Ruin’s reunion concert, when one of their members is m.u.r.d.e.r.e.d in the green room.
“But with all the suspects on stage at the time, how could the k.i.l.l.e.r have done it? Away from the m.u.r.d.e.r, Glenn and Daisy send out invitations to their wedding, and Mackenzie has to deal with her feelings when she’s not invited.”

Speaking about the new episodes, Aanna Samson said: “We were so thrilled to get a second series, which is never a guarantee, even if your show’s a huge success. We adore each other: the cast, crew, everyone in the office, and the producers.
“It’s a workplace full of love, support, kindness, and fun. Getting the chance to go back and do it all again, there aren’t many better opportunities in the world than that.”
She added: “You can expect m.u.r.d.e.r.s, and for Mackenzie and her team to solve them! We’re expanding the emotional world of all the characters in series two. Who they are and why they are the way they are.
“Colin and Mackenzie’s friendship becomes ridiculously joyful. They act like best friends while having no idea that they feel that way, which is really fun to play.
“That love triangle between Glenn, Mackenzie and Daisy also gets even more complicated, giving us a peek into her vulnerable side. We really challenge the emotional wall she puts up in this series.”
Where was Return to Paradise filmed?
Filming for this show took place at stunning locations across Sydney and the idyllic Illawarra coastal region, the BBC has said. The broadcaster describes it as having a distinctively Australian flare, while playing homage to the D.e.a.t.h in Paradise universe.
What to expect from Return to Paradise season 2?
In series two Detective Sergeant Mackenzie Clarke finds herself trapped in her hometown of Dolphin Cove to solve more perplexing cases, while grappling with the end-of-series-one bombshell that her ex-fiancé, Glenn still has feelings for her.
The team contend with even more perplexing cases this series, including the chemical poisoning of a man alone at sea, alongside having to deal with larger-than-life characters like a troublesome rock band who fall under suspicion when one of their members turns up dead.
Beyond her detective duties, Mackenzie is forced to face Glenn’s shocking confession that he still has feelings for her, despite his impending wedding to Daisy, complicating her own feelings toward him even further.
Meanwhile, the unexpected arrival of Colin’s old friends from back home starts to crack the mystery behind his decision to leave everything behind and build a new life in the tight-knit community of Dolphin Cove.
