Anna Samson stars as the first female lead detective in the "Death in Paradise" franchise in the new spin-off, "Return to Paradise." The series is set in Australia, moving away from the Caribbean and Devon, and features a six-part storyline. Samson plays DI Mackenzie Clarke, who returns to her hometown after leaving under suspicious circumstances. She investigates local murders while dealing with her past and forming a partnership with DSC Colin Cartwright. The show pays homage to previous series, including a cameo from DI Jack Mooney. While it shares similarities with earlier installments, the Australian setting and Mackenzie's unique background offer a fresh perspective.
