Is Paradise season 2 releasing in June 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 9, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated June 9, 2025, 11:45 IST Hulu's hit dystopian thriller Paradise has fans eagerly awaiting news about its second season. With its gripping plot and stellar cast, including Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson, and James Marsden, the show has captured widespread attention. But is Paradise Season 2 releasing in June 2025? Here's everything we know so far. Paradise Season 2 Renewal Status Hulu officially renewed Paradise for a second season on February 20, 2025, before the first season's finale aired on March 4, 2025. The announcement came via the show's Instagram account, with Sterling K. Brown sharing the exciting news in a video responding to fans clamoring for more episodes. Creator Dan Fogelman also celebrated the renewal on X, thanking fans for their enthusiasm and theorizing about the show's twists. With the renewal confirmed early, production moved quickly, ensuring fans won't face a long wait for the next chapter. Is Paradise Season 2 Releasing in June 2025? As of June 9, 2025, Hulu has not confirmed a specific premiere date for Paradise Season 2, and a June 2025 release is highly unlikely. Series creator Dan Fogelman has stated that production began in April 2025, with scripts already written. In interviews with Deadline and Variety , Fogelman expressed frustration with long gaps between seasons and aims to release Season 2 in early 2026, potentially aligning with the January 2025 premiere window of Season 1. While some sources speculate a possible early 2026 debut, no official confirmation points to June 2025. Fans should expect new episodes between January and summer 2026, depending on production timelines. What Will Paradise Season 2 Be About? Paradise Season 2 will pick up where the Season 1 finale, 'The Man Who Kept the Secrets,' left off. The first season revealed that Paradise is a city-sized underground bunker in Colorado, housing survivors three years after a catastrophic climate event. The finale resolved the mystery of President Cal Bradford's murder, identifying Trent (Ian Merrigan), a former construction leader, as the killer seeking justice for workers poisoned during the bunker's creation. It also disclosed that 55 million Americans, including Xavier's wife Teri, survived the apocalypse outside the bunker, a secret kept by Sinatra to maintain control.

It Starts On The Page (Drama): Read ‘Paradise' Episode 1 Script 'Wildcat Is Down' With Foreword By Dan Fogelman
Editor's note: Deadline's It Starts on the Page (Drama) features 10 standout drama series scripts in 2025 Emmy contention. In his follow-up to his acclaimed NBC family drama This Is Us, Dan Fogelman switched genres — and mixed genres, too — with Hulu's Paradise, a political thriller that incorporates elements of apocalyptic science fiction. It marked Fogelman's first series creation for streaming where he already had a hit with Hulu's Only Murders in the Building, which he executive produces. More from Deadline 'Paradise' Renewed For Second Season By Hulu 'Paradise' Star Sterling K. Brown Teases 'Exploration Of The World Outside The Bunker' In Season 2 – Contenders TV Jessica Simpson On Working With Kim Kardashian On 'All's Fair': "She Did All The Lawyer Talk, I Did All The Whining" It also reunited Fogelman and his Emmy-winning This Is Us star Sterling K. Brown, who headlines Paradise as Secret Service Agent Xavier Collins. Season 1's official logline sets up the pilot episode, 'Wildcat Is Down,' written by Fogelman and directed by his frequent collaborators Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who also helmed the This Is Us pilot: Paradise takes place in a serene community inhabited by some of the world's most prominent individuals. But this tranquility explodes when a shocking murder occurs, and a high-stakes investigation unfolds. In addition to setting up the series, in its final seconds, the premiere serves the first of Paradise's many jaw-dropping twists. Here is the script for 'Wildcat is Down' with an intro by Fogelman. In it, he reveals how a kernel of an idea he got more a decade ago from a loud construction noise during his drive home from a business meeting with a powerful Hollywood type led to Paradise. About a year after This Is Us ended, I started feeling the familiar itch to get off my ass and write something new for television. I mused on multiple ideas but kept returning to a specific kernel of a notion – a notion I'd had over a decade backstory: As a much younger writer I once found myself in a general meeting with a powerful player in our industry – a person of great reach, resource, and wealth. As I chatted with him (or her, I'll never tell) I was struck by the design (and size) of their office, the seemingly infinite reach of their rolodex and power. While that person talked to me, my mind wandered and I started wondering if I was in the room with my first ever billionaire.I started musing how many people worked to make that person's life run smoothly.I was young(er), I was nervous, I don't remember what we talked on the drive home, a large crane at a nearby construction site dropped something. There was a loud BOOM. I jumped, then realized this wasn't a mass casualty event… simply a loud everyday construction I thought about the person I'd just met with – this person of seemingly unearthly wealth and power. I thought of all the people who worked to serve that person and I wondered: 'If the sh*t ever hit the fan for real, wouldn't those people all run to their own people? Wouldn't they abandon the person they are employed to serve?I started thinking of the interplay of those in power and those who serve them. I started imagining someone whose job it was to literally take a bullet for a person in immense power – a secret service agent to a President. I started thinking about billionaires, and the strange power their wealth provides, and I started wondering… what if the loud BOOM I'd heard had been real. And what if people with immense power knew it was coming, and had the time to gather their resources and plan for it… so that when it happened, they wouldn't be left in the lurch like the rest of us.I started imagining a pilot with a late surprise – one that revealed that the Presidential murder mystery the audience thought they were watching, was really something then I sat on the idea for over a fast forward ten or so years, I was getting that post This Is Us writing itch, and I returned to idea. I wrote the screenplay first, refusing to acknowledge even to myself that I was clearly writing the lead agent role for Sterling K. Brown, and refusing to commit to it as a TV series until I sat with my producing partner Jess Rosenthal and my two friends (and eventual senior writer/producers) John Hoberg and Scott Weinger to chat with experts and figure out what exactly this series was beyond the I had that, we shared it with our supportive partners at 20th, Disney, and Hulu — and then my old pals Sterling K. Brown, John Requa, Glenn Ficarra, and Steve Beers — and we were off to the races… shooting an idea that I'd been thinking about for over a decade… an idea born out of a meeting with a rich guy (or gal) and one hell of a loud boom.

What's in Our Queue? ‘Paradise' and More
I'm a housing reporter, covering New York City's affordability crisis. I tend to be unpredictable with my choices around TV, books or music, but I'm often looking for something that feels meaningful. Here are five things I've recently enjoyed → I am a fan of Sterling K. Brown and James Marsden, and they're both great in this gripping show. I went in cold and think that knowing nothing about it made each episode that much more shocking and enjoyable. Just know there's murder and post-apocalypse vibes (and maybe a little nerd-ing out over housing). I am a sucker for coming-of-age movies. This one, about a Taiwanese American teenager growing up in the 2000s in Fremont, Calif., felt so similar to my own story: I grew up just a few miles away, a child of Indian immigrants. I particularly enjoyed all of the scenes involving AOL Instant Messenger. Every day, this account streams from a water tank in the Chiricahua Mountains in southern Arizona, capturing all the critters that stop by for sips. I love not knowing what will pop up. I've spotted many Pyrrhuloxias, roadrunners and javelinas. On one morning, it was a thirsty great horned owl. I initially avoided this movie because I'm not a cat person. My mistake. This story of how this cat and all its animal friends navigate a massive flood is well-paced, thought-provoking and visually beautiful. The lack of dialogue feels grounding. Stay for the capybara's heroics. I read a lot about neuroscience, mindfulness and behavior because I want to better understand how readers process and act on what we, as journalists, produce. This podcast ties many of these concepts together, and suggests many of us need to rethink what we know about addiction, willpower and resilience.
