Exciting News: 'Paradise' is Officially Coming Back for Season 2

Here’s how the official Instagram page for the series broke the news: “'Paradise' is renewed for Season 2! Let’s go! #ParadiseHulu is now streaming on Hulu and with #HuluOnDisneyPlus. New episode Tuesday!” Alongside this announcement, fans were treated to a video featuring Sterling K. Brown. In a playful nod to an incident from the first season, Sterling revealed the news by showing the words "Season 2" written on his palm.
But wait, there's more! Dan Fogelman, the brilliant mind behind 'Paradise' (and the beloved 'This Is Us'), has been listening to the fans. One viewer took to X (formerly Twitter) to plead with Dan, asking him not to "wait two years to give us season 2 of 'Paradise' @hulu." Dan’s response? “We start shooting in just a few weeks. It won’t be 2 years I promise! #Paradise.” Talk about keeping the momentum going!
Dan Fogelman has big plans for the series. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he revealed that he envisions 'Paradise' as a three-season story. “I have a plan for three seasons of the show. Each season is a slightly different show, within the same show with the same characters. The pilot reveals something at the end, and then there are twists and turns throughout the season,” Dan explained. He emphasized his commitment to giving fans a complete story by the end of each season. “I get frustrated by television shows that keep you guessing without providing answers. I want to give the audience a satisfying meal by the end of each episode.”
Dan continued, “Any question that arises in the first couple of episodes should be answered by the end of the eighth episode. Then, a new question and journey will take us into the second season.” It’s clear that Dan is setting the stage for a thrilling continuation of the story.
Who's Coming Back for 'Paradise' Season 2?
While official casting announcements haven’t been made yet, it’s almost a guarantee that Sterling K. Brown will reprise his role as Agent Xavier Collins. Fans can also expect to see Julianne Nicholson back as Sinatra, Krys Marshall as Agent Robinson, Nicole Brydon Bloom as Jane, and Sarah Shahi as Dr. Gabriela Torabi. But the big question remains: will James Marsden return as President Cal Bradford, even if just in flashbacks? We’ll have to wait and see!
Season 2 of 'Paradise' Picks Up Right Where Season 1 Left Off
Season 1 answered some major questions, such as who killed Cal and what happened to the world that led to the creation of the underground city. But as Dan Fogelman promised, these answers only opened up new questions. Will Xavier’s wife really be alive? And will Sinatra survive the challenges ahead?

Dan shared his vision for the series with Deadline, saying, “When I first pitched the idea to Sterling, I told him the season would end with him getting on a plane and flying out of the bunker to explore what’s out there in the world.” He added, “My hope was that it would feel like a great cliffhanger, one that leaves viewers with a whole new set of questions.” And that’s exactly what we can expect as we dive into season 2.
