Dystopian thriller Paradise has officially been renewed for a second season.
The show’s first chapter has yet to reach its conclusion, with two more episodes remaining, but after opening to 7 million views in its first week across Disney Plus internationally and Hulu in the US, the streamer clearly has a hit on it hands.
In Paradise’s debut season, there’s a huge twist at the end of the first episode when we learn that the idyllic community we’ve been introduced to is actually located underground, beneath a mountain range.
It was constructed by the world’s brightest and funded by its richest after the planet was essentially destroyed three years ago due a cataclysmic event – or so we were told.
But when the body of the president is discovered, it quickly becomes clear that the subterranean city is a far cry from paradise, as more destabilising secrets bubble to the surface.
“I felt like it was really unique and took some big swings,” James Marsen (Cal Bradford) told RadioTimes.com. “I think it’s an ambitious conceit and it was exciting for me to read because, like the audience, I was turning the page and wondering what was coming next.
“It was very fulfilling. I loved it. It was more than just a linear one-dimensional crime drama.”
The series was created by Dan Fogelman, who’s best known for This Is Us and Only Murders in the Building, with Sterling K Brown (This Is Us, American Fiction) playing the lead, Agent Xavier Collins.
