BBC issues update on second series of 'real life' Death in Paradise
The new series, which has been dubbed the "real life" Death in Paradise, will follow the work of the Bermuda Police force during peak tourist season.
Following its success with both critics and audiences, the BBC has given the green light for a second series of Policing Paradise, with production set to begin in Bermuda within weeks.
The upcoming series, which has earned comparisons to a "real life" Death in Paradise, will chronicle the daily operations of Bermuda's police force throughout the busy tourist period.
Viewers will witness the authentic working experiences of officers stationed across Bermuda's seven connected islands, featuring everything from canine units and watercraft patrols to neighbourhood beat officers.
Returning fans will recognise beloved characters from the debut series whilst being introduced to fresh faces representing various departments within the extensive police organisation.
The Bermuda Police Service operates as a multicultural force, encompassing approximately 500 full-time personnel, part-time staff, and special constables, reports Wales Online.
This diverse team comprises local Bermudians, Caribbean officers, and British recruits who have relocated to pursue careers in this island paradise.
Viewers can anticipate the stunning island backdrop taking centre stage, showcasing spectacular scenery whilst examining Bermudian culture through the perspective of community-serving officers.
The new series will particularly highlight the summer months in their prime, documenting police operations during the massive arrival of thousands of holidaymakers aboard enormous cruise vessels.
Coverage will include Cup Match Weekend, Harbour Nights, musical events, and processions, all requiring substantial police coordination. Alex McLeod, Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime, expressed his excitement: "I am so excited we are back in Bermuda for series two of Policing Paradise."
He added: "This is a truly unique place and we feel privileged to be able to have such wonderful access so our viewers can experience what it is like to police a paradise island in peak tourist season."
Sarah Trigg, Executive Producer for Spun Gold TV, also shared her enthusiasm: "We're so pleased to be making a new series and invited back by the Bermuda Police Service after the warm welcome we received from the dedicated officers."
She continued: "The success of the show was a true reflection of their spirit, teamwork, and the incredible support from many other key organisations across the island. It's a real privilege to return this summer."
Season one of Policing Paradise is available to stream on BBC iPlayer and season two is expect to return in 2026
