Beyond Paradise star Zahra Ahmadi has revealed that the cast have had "conversations" about a potential third season.

While the BBC has yet to make an announcement about the show's future, the cast certainly enjoy their time filming in Devon and Cornwall. Praising the drama's cast and crew, Felicity said: "It's like joining a family. You feel so comfortable. Everyone is supportive, they're not competitive.
"What's wonderful is that we all get on so well and we give each other space if that's what we need. But actually, we're going on that ship together, which is a lovely feeling and it feels so safe."
