Curious if Paradise Season 2 is a go at Hulu? When Paradise Season 2’s premiere date is? And what a second season of the political thriller might look like? Decider’s got you covered.
On February 20, ahead of the show’s Season 1 finale, Hulu renewed Paradise for Season 2, with Fogelman revealing he has a three-season arc for the series already planned out.
“I have a plan for three seasons of the show. Without giving away too much, each season of the show is a slightly different show, within the same show with the same characters,” Fogelman told The Hollywood Reporter. “…As we go into second season, we pivot a little bit, but in a way that I think is very follow-able. But yes, there’s big moves ahead.”
Since publishing our original Season 2 piece, four names have been added to the sophomore season cast: Shailene Woodley, Thomas Doherty, Michael McGrady, and Timothy Omundson. Plus, Season 2 has already started filming and is expected to premiere in 2026!
