Get ready for another Christmas special of Beyond Paradise! Before season 4 begins, we’re returning to Shipton Abbot, and it seems Humphrey and Martha are finally tying the knot, based on newly released photos.
It’s nice to see a kind character like Humphrey, and people naturally don’t want to see him upset or struggling.
Marshall explained that the show’s main couple is unusual because they don’t have big conflicts or betrayals in their relationship.
You know, what I really love about them is how genuine they are. They’re a little quirky, a little imperfect – they’re not trying to be picture-perfect like you see on social media. They’re just a really warm and friendly couple, and you can just feel how much they love each other. It makes them so easy to root for!
I believe it’s unusual for a show that’s supposed to be dramatic to avoid heavy drama and still be enjoyable to watch. We’ve really achieved something special with that.
But what else can you expect from the Beyond Paradise Christmas special? And when can you watch it?
Read on for everything you need to know about this year’s festive episode.
