The guest cast is completed by Emily Lloyd-Saini, Danny Webb, Nicholas Woodeson, Malcolm Storry, Carolyn Pickles, Jeff Rawle, Jayde Adams, Souad Faress, and Charlie Baker. The BBC is expected to reveal further actors set to appear in the series.
Zahra Ahmadi, who plays DS Esther Williams opposite Marshall, spoke with Yahoo and other publications about the new series' guest cast. She said: "We've just been so lucky with our guest cast the whole way through season one, and season 2."
Ahmadi explained that the series 2 premiere "was no exception", saying: "The guys that we had involved in that were just really up for it and gave us so much to work with, and it was lovely as well for me to work with Felicity outside of the office."
The actor also shared a touching story about working with an old friend in series 2, sharing: "One of my oldest friends was in an episode and we both met doing youth theatre down here in Plymouth when we were teenagers, we both went [there] on the train and wanted to become actors.
"He's in episode three, and we were sat having lunch together one day and I said: 'You know when we met when we were 15, did you ever imagine that we would both be here filming a BBC primetime series together?' That was really special for me."
The actor added that there were some "real pedigree people" appearing in series 2, with Felicity Montagu, who plays Support Officer Margo Martins, adding: "You get the opportunity to work with people in your life and then you're not sure, as an actor, if you're ever gonna work with them again. And when that opportunity comes back around and you get to explore it even further, the dynamic, the playfulness it's such a privilege."
Beyond Paradise premieres on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Friday, 22 March.
