Death in Paradise star Ralf Little has teased the potential of more spin-off shows following the launch of Beyond Paradise earlier this year.
Appearing in a live fan Q&A session on Instagram recently, the actor revealed that he'd love to see a spin-off show in America or the Maldives.
When asked by a viewer if he'd go down to Devon to film for a crossover episode with Beyond Paradise, Ralf said: "Yeah, totally. I'm quite loving the fact, now that there is Beyond Paradise, there's a bit of a joke amongst us that like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that there is a Death in Paradise Cinematic Universe."
He went on to say: "So who knows? Maybe [there will be] more. Maybe there's going to be Death in the States or Death in the Maldives would be quite nice."

"We are halfway through episode one, it's going to be very good," he revealed. "The Christmas special is done and dusted, it's going to be a pretty good one as well. It's all going very, very well."

Responding to the several flame emojis Josephine left in the comments section, fans pleaded with the actress to return. One person wrote: "@josephinejobert_official PLEASE JUST COME BACK," while another added: "@josephinejobert_official is this a sign that you'll be back?"

"I already left in series eight, I thought it would be for good, honestly, I thought, 'I'm done.' Then they asked me back for series ten as I was like, 'Hmmm I don’t know, okay I'm going to do it,'" she explained. "But I knew it wouldn't be forever, I knew it. How long, I didn't know. I had an idea but I wasn't sure."
The 38-year-old also addressed the potential of popping up in the new spin-off, Beyond Paradise. "It's a possibility that we discussed with the producer some time ago," she said. "So we'll see if that will happen. But I would love to anyway. It would be a very nice wink."
