Paradise Season 2: Everything We Know
Paradise will be back on Hulu for a second season following the first season’s popular release on the streaming platform. According to Deadline, starting on April 7 the show will begin airing its first full season on ABC as well, with episodes released every Monday night. With this kind of reception, can we expect a second season of Paradise?
The answer is yes! Here’s everything we know about what’s to expect next season.
Has Paradise been renewed for season 2?
On Feb. 20, 2025, the show’s Instagram account announced that the series was renewed with a video featuring its star, Sterling K. Brown. In the brief clip, Brown responds to a comment saying that one season is “not enough.” Seems like he agrees:
What will season 2 of Paradise be about?
The first season followed Brown’s character, Secret Service Agent Xavier Collins. The political thriller created by Dan Fogelman is set after an apocalyptic event where survivors live in an underground bunker the size of a city. Collins is tasked with protecting President Cal Bradford, before Bradford’s murder upsets not only Collins’s life, but the seemingly perfect community as a whole. He begins his hunt for the perpetrator. Throughout season one, his detective work uncovers more and more secrets that destroy the image of the world he knows.
Who stars in Paradise season 2?
Fogelman is also the creator of This Is Us, the origin of one of Brown’s biggest roles, and he said this year on Late Night with Seth Meyers that Fogelman asked him to star in Paradise back in 2022.
“I’ve read 106 scripts of his, loved every one. This was 107, and I loved that one, too,” the actor said. “He said, ‘If you like it, let me know.’ I called him back and I said, ‘I’m in.’”
James Marsden plays the president and they’re joined by Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Aliyah Mastin, and Percy Daggs IV.
Has production started on Paradise season 2?
An official timeline has not yet been released, but on March 4, Fogelman responded to a fan on X, formerly Twitter, about production plans.
“Please don’t wait two years to give us season 2 of Paradise @hulu,” the concerned viewer wrote.
Fogelman quote-tweeted them, responding, “we start shooting in just a few weeks. It won’t be 2 years I promise! #Paradise.”
