It might seem like years since Hulu’s Paradise was released, but it was only back in January, and the genre-bending, expectation-defying show captured the attention of both critics and an intrigued audience. Presented initially as a political murder mystery, Paradise eventually peeled back its layers and revealed a high-concept post-apocalyptic sci-fi with mysteries that the Lost creative team would be proud of. And thankfully, Hulu are already delivering a second season, less than a year after the first season ended. At Brazil Comic Con, it was revealed that the first three episodes of Paradise Season 2 will arrive on February 23, and we got a first look at the returning show thanks to a trailer:
Run And Watch Paradise Before It Returns
Paradise Season 1 only ran for 8 episodes, from January through to March 2025, but it was a masterful exercise in slow-burn intrigue, peeling back layers and revealing its true identity with surprising deftness. Headed by a fraught but elegant performance by Sterling K Brown (as Special Agent Xavier Collins), and chillingly relatable (until she’s not) Samantha “Sinatra” Redmond (played by Julianne Nicholson), the mystery of a President’s murder quickly blossoms out into something bigger. Something a lot more conventionally sci-fi, and creator Dan Fogelman is brave – and bold – enough to hide that huge selling point.
If you haven’t seen it, you now have a little over 2 months to watch only 8 episodes, and there’s no excuse not to. The second season already promises a major escalation after Xavier made a shocking decision in the finale, and the trailer very much leans into the post-apocalyptic sci-fi feel. That is a very exciting development, to say the least.
