Hulu has renewed its hit drama series Paradise, starring Sterling K. Brown, for a second season. The show, created by Dan Fogelman (known for This Is Us and Only Murders in the Building), has performed strongly on the streaming platform.
Here’s the Lowdown: Paradise, a political thriller, centers on a seemingly peaceful community hiding dark secrets. When a murder occurs, Agent Xavier Collins (played by Sterling K. Brown) investigates. The first season is currently streaming on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally, with the finale set for March 4. ABC will also air the entire first season starting April 7 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.
What This Means Now: The renewal confirms the show’s success and guarantees more episodes for fans. The broadcast run on ABC could also draw in a new audience. Early viewership numbers were strong, with 7 million views in its first week across both streaming platforms, leading to expectations it could become a top 10 streamed original.
The Bigger Picture: Paradise brings together a high-profile team, including creator Dan Fogelman and star Sterling K. Brown. The first season also features an impressive cast of James Marsden, Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Aliyah Mastin and Percy Daggs IV. It is produced by 20th Television.
