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.
