Paradise, the political thriller by Dan Fogelman starring Sterling K. Brown, unveils its trailer for Season 2, set to premiere on February 23, 2026, on Disney+.
Following a strong debut, Paradise continues to expand on Disney+. Created by Dan Fogelman (This Is Us, Only Murders in the Building), this political thriller series mixing drama and science fiction was quickly renewed. During the CCXP25 Brazil, Disney+ unveiled a new trailer and the poster for season 2, which is set to premiere on Monday, February 23, 2026 on the platform.
The series is set in what seems to be a tranquil community, home to some of the world’s most powerful figures. That fragile facade shatters when a murder occurs, sparking an investigation with far-reaching consequences. Agent Xavier Collins, played by Sterling K. Brown, finds himself entangled in a case where every lead could unravel an entire system.
The second season, billed as a direct continuation of this web of secrets and power, ramps up the mystery and shifts the dynamics within the community. Attending the event in Brazil, Dan Fogelman and Sterling K. Brown (who is also an executive producer) were joined by Shailene Woodley, indicating a significant development in both the cast and the storylines.
The Trailer for Paradise
The cast includes Sterling K. Brown, James Marsden, Julianne Nicholson, as well as Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Aliyah Mastin, and Percy Daggs IV. Their performances drive a ensemble-driven narrative, where power dynamics and psychological tensions intertwine with the unfolding investigation.
With its thriller roots and a setting of an “ideal community” corroded from within, Paradise appeals to fans of suspenseful stories centered on power struggles and social paranoia. Its quick renewal can be attributed not only to impressive viewership numbers—millions of views in the first week—but also to strong industry recognition: the series has garnered nominations at prestigious awards such as the Emmy Awards (2025), Golden Globes, and Critics Choice Awards (2026), with particular attention given to performances by Sterling K. Brown, James Marsden, and Julianne Nicholson.
