Paradisestar Sterling K. Brown previews season 2’s story ahead of the season finale. Since debuting on Hulu in late January, the new show fromThis Is Uscreator Dan Fogelman has been filled with twists. It began as a fairly straightforward mystery of who killed President Bradford (James Marsden), morphing into a sci-fi dystopia and only getting bumpier from there.Paradiseseason 2was confirmed well before the season 1 finale, meaning the twists are likely just beginning.
In an interview withTV Insider, Brown recaps the genre-mashing thriller and offers a preview of where the story could go next. Brown, also an executive producer on the series, mentions that the Hulu hit’s next chapter willexplore what happened to the rest of the world amid all the chaos:
“We know what the billionaires and the people of power did. They built a city, right? Then we found out in [Episode 4] that there’s still breathable air. You see in [Episode 7] that the nukes did not go off, that there’s still life as we know it but maybe very different because the natural disaster still transpired. So I think in Season 2, the idea is to explore what happened to the rest of the world, what does that look like?”
What Brown’s Comments Mean For Paradise
The Biggest Twist Has Yet To Be Revealed
The thriller series shows a lot of storytelling ambition in season 1, with almosteveryParadiseending peeling back layersthat viewers might not have considered. It’s not a surprising move from the creator ofThis Is Us, which was built around one massive twist for just about every season and then several smaller ones that come as a surprise.The difference withParadise, other than its genre, is the pacing.

Another show might have devoted an entire season to exposing Sinatra’s villainous nature, especially considering the caliber of performer that Julianne Nicholson is and what she brings totheParadisecast. Instead, her reveal happens in a single episode.

Our Take On Paradise’s Twists
The Show Can’t Afford To Slow Down
It might be nice ifParadisecould slow down and take its time with a single twist, the wayThis Is Usused to. But if it sticks to an eight-episode run, it is better off sticking to a breakneck speed that wastes little time before taking off in the direction of the next major revelation. That has worked for the series so far, helping to turn it into a fast success for Hulu. And at a time when streaming shows are often accused of sluggish stories and padding, the quickness of this new thriller is an asset.
