After a gripping Season 1 filled with political drama and twists, fans are waiting to find out if Paradise will return for Season 2. Here’s a breakdown of whether Sterling K. Brown’s show will get another installment—and more.
Is Paradise Season 2 canceled or renewed by Hulu?
Yes, Paradise Season 2 has been officially confirmed for a renewal, so it has not been canceled.
The show, produced by Disney’s 20th Television, quickly became a hit. It racked up 7 million views in its first week across Disney+ internationally and Hulu in the U.S. With such strong numbers, it’s no surprise that the series will return for another installment.
While the renewal is confirmed, Disney+ has yet to announce a specific release date for Paradise Season 2. Given the complexity of TV production, the new season is unlikely to arrive before 2026. Even with a swift renewal, the process of writing, filming, and post-production takes time — especially for a high-concept show expected to have eight episodes.
Series creator Dan Fogelman has revealed that he has a three-season plan already mapped out. He hinted that each season will take a slightly different approach while maintaining continuity with existing characters. “There’s twists and turns in the course of the season,” he shared. “The seventh episode is kind of a standalone episode of the show. As we go into the second season, we pivot a little bit, but in a way that I think is very follow-able” (via The Hollywood Reporter)
For those unaware, Paradise is set in a bunker community of 25,000 elite individuals who survived an apocalyptic event. The first season focused on the murder investigation of President Cal Bradford (James Marsden). Secret Service agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) leads the case, uncovering shocking twists along the way. Now, creator Dan Fogelman assures viewers that he will finally address unanswered questions. With that, he sets the stage for Paradise Season 2.
