The Season 2 Renewal
Just weeks ago, Hulu officially announced the renewal of Paradise for a second season, much to the delight of its growing fanbase. The news was shared on the show’s official Instagram with a celebratory post. "Paradise is renewed for Season 2! Let’s go! #ParadiseHulu is now streaming on Hulu and with #HuluOnDisneyPlus. New episode Tuesday!" the caption read. Fans couldn't contain their excitement, with one commenting, "God damn one season ain’t enough." Sterling, ever the tease, replied with a clever gesture, showing the words "Season 2" written on his palm.
Support for the show poured in from all corners, including Sterling’s This Is Us co-star Chrissy Metz, who commented, "Phew!! We need MORE!!" The enthusiasm was palpable, with another fan expressing, "I’m beyond ready for y’all to stress me out once a week!!!"
Behind the Scenes: Sterling and James's Bond
Sterling and James's chemistry isn't just limited to the screen. Their camaraderie extended into real life during the filming of the series. Both actors knew from the start that Paradise had the potential to be a hit, and Sterling was confident that James's performance would be recognized. Speaking to Variety on February 25, Sterling recalled a moment on set: "I remember, we were shooting 107, I said, 'You ready big dog?' And he goes, 'Ready for what?' I said, 'Number two.’" He went on to explain, "He goes, 'Number two?' I was like, 'Ya, you got the first one for Jury Duty — number two is coming.' He goes, 'Are you ready for number 10?' I was like, 'Hey, don’t talk about me, bro! We talking about you!’"
The Cliffhanger and What's Next
Without revealing any spoilers, the season 1 finale of Paradise left fans on the edge of their seats with a dramatic revelation of Cal's murderer. Dan Fogelman deliberately left several questions unanswered, knowing that a second season was on the horizon. "I felt confident we were going to get a Season 2, though I’ve been confident before and gotten screwed by ending on a cliffhanger that never gets an answer. So, it’s a very fair question. But I never really questioned that, honestly," Dan told Variety. "If I felt the show had been turning out terribly in the edit bay, maybe I would have ended it more completely. But this was always the plan." With this assurance, fans can look forward to an even more thrilling continuation of the story.
