While Paradise Season 1 has ended on Hulu, the show will be back for a Season 2. The news came ahead of the penultimate and finale episodes of the show’s first season, which landed on the streamer at the end of February and first week of March, respectively.
The show’s premise seems simple enough with Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) under scrutiny for the assassination of President Cal Bradford (James Marsden) because Collins was the last person seen with Bradford before he went to bed the night of his murder. The end of episode 1, however, complicates matters when a dystopian twist reveals that Collins, Bradford and the president’s other security team as well as their families are living in an underground bunker simulating life on Earth.
