After proving a hit with critics and viewers alike, BBC has confirmed that Policing Paradise is returning for a second season, with filming in Bermuda due to start later this month.
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.
They will be exploring the real working lives of officers across Bermuda's seven interconnected islands, from dog handlers and jet ski patrols to daily beat patrol teams.
Fans of the show will see familiar faces from series one and will also meet new officers in a variety of different roles across the vast police force.

The Bermuda Police Service is a diverse force, consisting of up to 500 full-time officers, part-time officers, and special constables.
The team includes native Bermudians, officers from across the Caribbean, and a number of UK recruits who have chosen to live and work in this tropical paradise.
Audiences can expect the island itself to show its character, capturing breath-taking landscapes while exploring the Bermudian way of life through the eyes of the officers who serve the community.
This series will also shine the spotlight on the summer season which will be in full swing, following the police response to the sudden influx of thousands of tourists arriving on mega cruise ships.
As well as capturing the Cup Match Weekend, Harbour Nights, music festivals, and parades, all of which demand a significant police presence.

Alex McLeod, Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime said: 'I am so excited we are back in Bermuda for series two of Policing Paradise.
"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.'
Meanwhile Sarah Trigg, Executive Producer for Spun Gold TV added: '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.
'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
