How to watch Return to Paradise Australia?
Return to Paradise season two will be available to watch on free-to-air TV in Australia via ABC TV and ABC iView. Meanwhile, you can re-watch or catch up on season one on ABC iView now.
Is Return to Paradise connected to Death in Paradise?
Return to Paradise stays true to the style and essence of the original Death in Paradise series in terms of the way the plot develops in each episode.
However, the show creators wanted to differentiate the new series from the original one by having Mack be a native to the town of Dolphin Cove.
In the original series, each detective is new to the fictional island of Sainte-Marie, whereas Mack returns home to Dolphin Cove – where she was born and raised – after six years of working in London. This means she knows the layout and the people extremely well.
Where is Return to Paradise filmed in Australia?
While Dolphin Cove is a fictional town, the show is actually filmed in the Illawarra region of New South Wales.
