Death in Paradise fans have been given their first proper look at new Australian spin-off series Return to Paradise, after the BBC released a trailer and pictures of the show.

Return to Paradise follows DI Mackenzie Clarke, an Australian ex-pat who’s made a name for herself in London’s Metropolitan Police for cracking uncrackable murder cases.

When she is accused of tampering with evidence, Mackenzie returns to Australia, back to the last place she ever wanted to be – her hometown of Dolphin Cove.

Having fled the town six years ago, infamously leaving her ex-fiancée Glenn at the altar, Mackenzie is not welcome.

The BBC adds: "Once a case lands on her desk, she can’t rest until she’s figured it out, and the killer is in handcuffs.

"It’s that tenacity and work ethic that might just, over time, help Mackenzie win over her new colleagues, and the people of Dolphin Cove."
