Paradise has been renewed for a third season at Hulu, which is all a part of creator Dan Fogelman‘s plan.
The third season has been promised to be the last one by the creative team, as the This Is Us creator pitched the hit series starring Sterling K. Brown as a three-season story. Hulu confirmed the renewal on Tuesday, following the release of the sixth episode of the currently airing second season. Paradise season two is now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ in the US for bundle subscribers.
“We know what the end is, and it’s an end that would make it very difficult to make a season four come afterward,” executive producer John Hoberg recently confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter about sticking with Fogelman’s original three-season plan.
The Emmy-nominated political thriller from creator Fogelman stars Brown, in a This is Us reunion, as Agent Xavier Collins. Season two has followed Xavier out of the bunker, called Paradise, that is housing the survivors of a near-apocalyptic event, in his search for the wife — Terri, played by Enuka Okuma — he thought had died, but who is actually among the survivors above the bunker.
Per the logline, Xavier “searches for Teri out in the world and learns how people survived the three years since The Day. Back in Paradise, the social fabric frays as the bunker deals with the aftermath of season one, and new secrets are uncovered about the city’s origins.”
The cast includes Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Krys Marshall, Enuka Okuma, Aliyah Mastin, Percy Daggs IV and Charlie Evans, with recurring guest stars James Marsden, Shailene Woodley, Thomas Doherty and Jon Beavers.
Paradise is executive produced by Fogelman, Jess Rosenthal, Hoberg, Brown, Steve Beers, Glenn Ficarra and John Requa also executive produce. The series is a 20th Television production.
The Paradise: Official Podcast, hosted by series star and superfan Ryan Michelle Bathé, also drops new episodes weekly on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S., with audio episodes on all audio platforms.
