Mbuyiselo's happy time picks
If you're one of Mbuyiselo Vilakazi's loyal followers on Instagram or TikTok, you already know the man has a sixth sense for top-tier entertainment. Whether he's dissecting red carpet looks or putting you on to your next binge-worthy show, Mbuyiselo never misses. Now, he's teamed up with BBC Brit to share his Happy Time Picks—a curated list of the must-watch dramas that have him completely hooked this winter. As part of the channel's Find Your Happy, Every Night campaign, Mbuyiselo is inviting viewers to dive into stories that offer comfort, intrigue, and a little escapism after a long day. Here's what he's loving right now on BBC Brit (DStv Channel 120): Beyond Paradise – Mondays at 20:00 'I call this one 'cosy crime drama energy.'' If you were a fan of Death in Paradise, you'll be obsessed with Beyond Paradise. It follows DI Humphrey Goodman and his partner Martha as they trade tropical life for the charming chaos of rural England. According to Mbuyiselo: 'It's wholesome, it's quirky, and the cases are fun to follow without feeling too heavy. I watch it with tea and a blanket—it's giving feel-good detective show.' Death in Paradise S14 – Mondays at 21:00 'New detective, same addictive island vibes.' Season 14 introduces DI Mervin Wilson, who swaps London for the Caribbean island of Saint Marie. As he tackles new murders, he's also confronting his mother's mysterious death. 'This season feels fresh but still has that tropical suspense we love. And yes, I still try to solve the crime before the reveal—I never win.' Death Valley – Tuesdays at 20:00 'This is the one. Dark comedy meets small-town murder mystery.' Set in scenic Wales, Death Valley stars Timothy Spall in a series that's both hilarious and suspenseful. Think Knives Out but with more sass and way better accents. 'This show is chaotic good! The leads are a mess (in the best way), and every week the mystery gets juicier. Also, I need to visit Wales now.' 4. Brokenwood Mysteries – Thursdays at 20:00 'Murder, but make it New Zealand.' Detective Inspector Mike Shepherd takes on strange and sometimes hilarious murder cases in the picturesque town of Brokenwood. 'This one feels like a comfort show for crime lovers. It's the kind of thing you can watch with your mom or binge solo on a Sunday. Very underrated!' Mbuyiselo's Verdict 'What I love about BBC Brit is that it really delivers on variety. You're not boxed into one vibe—you can go from island drama to Welsh madness to quaint village crime all in one week. That's how you find your happy, every night!' Catch all of Mbuyiselo's Happy Time Picks on BBC Brit, Channel 120 on DStv. Let us know which one's your fave using #FindYourHappyZA and tag @BBCBritSA for a chance to be featured on our socials.

Beyond Paradise Season 4: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 23, 2025, 20:00 IST Last updated June 23, 2025, 16:54 IST Fans can't stop buzzing about Beyond Paradise Season 4 after Season 3's heartfelt finale in May 2025. This Death in Paradise spin-off keeps winning hearts with its oddball mysteries, tight-knit crew, and those lush Cornwall views. No official word from the BBC yet, but plenty of clues point to what's next. Here's the lowdown on when Season 4 might land, who's likely back, and what stories could unfold in Shipton Abbott. Is Beyond Paradise Season 4 Happening? The BBC hasn't spilled the beans on Season 4, but odds look good. Season 3 pulled in over 5 million viewers for its opener, a solid win. Producer Tim Key called it their 'strongest' run yet, and Zahra Ahmadi (DS Esther Williams) tossed out a cheeky hope for '14 seasons' with all the character potential left to mine. With Death in Paradise locked for a 15th season and Return to Paradise off and running, dropping Beyond Paradise would be a head-scratcher. Expect a green light soon, likely with a spring 2026 slot, tailing Death in Paradise . When Could Beyond Paradise Season 4 Hit Our Screens? No confirmed date, but past seasons give a hint: Season 1 kicked off February 24, 2023. Season 2 arrived March 22, 2024. Season 3 landed March 28, 2025. That points to March or April 2026 for Season 4. A Christmas special might pop up in December 2025, like in years past. Season 3 filmed from August 2024 and hit screens seven months later, so production could start summer 2025 for a spring launch. UK viewers will catch it on BBC One or iPlayer. For folks across the pond, BritBox or Amazon Prime should have episodes by April 2026. Who's Coming Back for Beyond Paradise Season 4? No cast announcements yet, but the Shipton Abbott crew is practically family at this point. Here's who we bet we'll see, based on Season 3's ending (spoiler alert for those not caught up): Kris Marshall as Humphrey Goodman as Humphrey Goodman Sally Bretton as Martha Lloyd as Martha Lloyd Zahra Ahmadi as Esther Williams as Esther Williams Dylan Llewellyn as Kelby Hartford as Kelby Hartford Felicity Montagu as Margo Martins as Margo Martins Barbara Flynn as Anne Lloyd as Anne Lloyd Jamie Bamber as Archie Hughes as Archie Hughes Melina Sinadinou as Zoe Williams as Zoe Williams Jade Harrison as CS Charlie Woods as CS Charlie Woods Bella Rei Blue Stevenson as Rosie What's the Plot for Beyond Paradise Season 4? Season 3 left us with plenty to chew on (spoilers ahead). Here's what might unfold: Humphrey and Martha's Next Chapter: Their fostering journey hit some bumps, but they're solid as ever. Season 4 could show them navigating life with Rosie or new foster kids, juggling love and work. Sally Bretton says fans want their 'fun, loving' dynamic, not soap opera drama, so expect warm fuzzies with a side of chaos. Archie's Drama: Martha's ex caused a stir in Season 3. Will he keep meddling, or will his story wrap up? Some fans think Humphrey's quirky enough without this love triangle. Esther's Love Life: A surprise encounter in Season 3 hinted at her past. We might learn more about her late husband or Zoe's dad. Kelby's Rise: The young PC's finding his feet, making unlikely pals. Maybe he'll take on bigger cases or face personal hurdles. Fresh Cases: Beyond Paradise keeps murders light, focusing on oddball crimes like poisonings or rural feuds. Season 4 will likely serve up more clever whodunits with that laugh-cry-laugh vibe Tim Key loves. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
