Paradise stars This Is Us alum Sterling K. Brown as Secret Service agent Xavier Collins, the man tasked to keep President Cal Bradford (played by James Marsden, Westworld) safe. When the president is killed in the series' premiere, it unleashes a mystery that puts everyone in Collins' small community on edge. The final moments of the series premiere revealed that Collins and the president are living in a town created in a cave under the Earth's surface because a catastrophic event destroyed all life topside, adding a unique twist to the presidential murder-mystery plot.
Paradise was renewed in February, a few weeks before the mystery thriller aired its answers-laden Season 1 finale in March. (Read a full recap here.) Around that time, Brown told TVLine that the story was 'all laid out' and that he'd read the first three episodes of Season 2. 'That s–t slaps real hard,' he said of the scripts. 'It's really, really, good — and I'm saying that as a fan of the show. It's really, really good. I'm excited.'
So are we! Read on for everything we know so far about what to expect from the new season. And make sure to check back often for updates!
Hulu has not yet announced Paradise's Season 2 premiere date, but the show has begun shooting the sophomore run. (See Fogelman's Instagram post above.)
While we have no official intel yet regarding Season 2 storylines, it would make sense that the plot would follow Xavier as he leaves the underground cave and sets out to find his wife, Teri, whom we now know survived the apocalyptic event that sent President Bradford & Co. to the bunker. We also expect to learn more about the large numbers of people that the exploratory mission learned had made it through the climate catastrophe. (More about that here.)
There's no official Season 2 cast list yet, but we're guessing that Sterling K. Brown (Xavier), Julianne Nicholson (Sinatra), Nicole Brydon Bloom (Jane), Krys Marshall (Robinson), Sarah Shahi (Gabriela), Charlie Evans (Jeremy), Aliyah Mastin (Presley) and Percy Daggs IV (James) will be back.
Likely not to return: Jon Beavers, whose Secret Service Agent Billy Pace was killed in Season 1. Also a question mark: James Marsden, who played President Cal Bradford in Season 1. Though Cal died in the series premiere, Marsden appeared in every episode via flashbacks. Now that his murder has been solved, however, we're not sure how involved Marsden will be with the series as it moves forward.
Paradise Season 2 will stream on Hulu.
There is not yet a trailer for the show's second season. But as soon as there is, we'll update this post, and you can watch it here.
Paradise Season 1 is streaming on Hulu.

Say Hello to San Francisco's First Women's Sports Bar
San Francisco's first women's sports bar opens Wednesday, June 11, on Market Street. Rikki's throws open its doors to a city ready for lots of women's basketball; the Golden State Valkyries' inaugural season is underway to huge fanfare. Co-founders Danielle Thoe and Sara Yergovich told the San Francisco Chronicle the name honors Rikki Streicher, a gay San Francisco athlete who opened two now-closed queer women's bars in San Francisco, Maud's and Amelia's. This opening makes the bar the first in the Bay Area dedicated exclusively to women's sports. Fifteen TVs stretch across the space; pop-up Rikki's parties around the city have brought in some 150 fans per event. There's a full liquor license available, and local beers, including the aptly named Local Brewing Co. on tap, with food available for hungry sports fans, as well. Rikki's is open Tuesday through Sunday from 3:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. on weekdays and until midnight on Friday and Saturday. Sacramento sells tacos to fight fascism NorCal Resist coordinated a demonstration on Sunday, June 8, in defiance of the federal government's invasion of Los Angeles's immigrant communities. To keep the momentum going, the group will work with Radio Xicanismo for a Tacos & Corridos event on Saturday, July 26, at 2 p.m. Guests will get three tacos with rice and beans for $30 at the Latino Center of Art and Culture. Tickets are on sale now. Another Divisadero Street restaurant suffers from a fire In an unlucky streak for the vibrant business corridor, Banh Mi Viet closed due to a fire. It broke out around 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 4, and no one was injured. This makes another shutdown on Divisadero Street in recent years; Ethiopian restaurant Oasis Cafe and adjoining Kava Lounge have been closed since a major fire in 2022, as did Phuket on the other end of the strip. Mainstay Berkeley restaurant closes for good The team behind the beloved El Patio in Berkeley let fans know via Instagram of the restaurant's impending finale: The last day of service will be Friday, July 4. There was no reason given for the closure. More than that, the post says the catering and events arm of the business is still operational. Sign up for our newsletter.

Alex Cooper Accuses Her College Soccer Coach of Sexual Harassment
Originally appeared on E! Online is coming forward about her difficult past. The Call Her Daddy host, who played soccer for Boston University from 2013 to 2015, accused her former coach Nancy Feldman of sexual harassment in her shocking new Hulu docuseries Call Her Alex. In the documentary, which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival June 8, the 30-year-old alleged, per The Hollywood Reporter, that Feldman "really starting to fixate on me, way more than any other teammate of mine, and it was confusing.' But Cooper's talents on the field weren't often the topic of discussion. "It was all based in her wanting to know who I was dating,' she continued, 'her making comments about my body and her always wanting to be alone with me." As the patterns of behavior continued throughout her sophomore year of college, Cooper alleged that Feldman would go as far as putting a hand on her thigh and asking if she'd had sex the previous night.

Tell me about your sex life, I have to drive you to your night class, get in the car with me alone,'' she recalled. 'I started trying to spend as little time as possible with her, taking different routes to practice where I knew I wouldn't run into her. During meetings, I would try to sit as far away from her as possible, literally anything to not be alone with this woman.' And while Cooper shared that she "felt so deeply uncomfortable" at the time, she felt ] she couldn't speak out about the alleged abuse because she didn't want to jeopardize her full-tuition scholarship. 'If I didn't follow this woman's rules,' she noted, 'I was gone." And when she did attempt to provide university officials with written documentation of Feldman's inappropriate actions, she alleged that they 'dismissed' her allegations and did not investigate the matter. E! News reached out to Feldman and Boston University but has not heard back. Neither Feldman nor the BU have publicly responded to Cooper's allegations. While Feldman has since retired in 2022, Cooper emphasized during a Q&A after the documentary's premiere, per Deadline, that the officials who brushed off her allegations were still there. 'During the filming of this documentary, I found out that the harassment and abuse of power is still happening on the campus of Boston University,' Cooper alleged. 'I knew in that moment, if I don't speak about this. It's going to continue happening.' 'I'm thinking about the amount of women who've probably experienced this, not just on that campus, but on a larger scale in the workplace,' she continued. 'This isn't just happening on college campuses for soccer. This is everywhere. This is systemic.' For the latest breaking news updates, click here to download the E! News App
