Hulu has officially kicked off the countdown to the highly anticipated second season of Paradise with a glamorous red-carpet premiere at the Paramount Theatre in Los Angeles.

What’s Happening:

  • On Wednesday, February 18, the cast and creators of the hit drama gathered to celebrate the upcoming season, treating guests to a screening of the premiere episode, “Graceland.”

Survival and Secrets: What to Expect in Season 2

  • The new season picks up with high stakes following the fraying social fabric of the bunker:
    • Xavier heads out into the world to find Teri, discovering the grim reality of how humanity survived the three years following "The Day."
    • While the bunker deals with the fallout of Season 1, new secrets come to light regarding how the city of Paradise actually began.
    • While Sterling K. Brown and Julianne Nicholson return as leads, the season features a heavy-hitting recurring roster including James Marsden and Shailene Woodley.

The Fogelman-Brown Connection: A Partnership in Hit-Making

  • Dan Fogelman and Sterling K. Brown have become a dynamic duo in prestige television.
  • Before Paradise took viewers into its post-apocalyptic mystery, they defined a generation of broadcast drama with This Is Us.
  • Fogelman’s signature narrative style (often involving non-linear timelines and massive emotional reveals) is a perfect fit for the high-concept world of Paradise.
  • Paradise continues Fogelman's long-standing relationship with 20th Television.
