If you have been active on social media recently, chances are you have come across posts resembling this one. Hulu’s “Paradise” has sparked conversations, exclamations, and speculations about the direction of the plot.

The storyline centers around Secret Service agent Xavier Collins, portrayed by Sterling K. Brown, whose duty is to safeguard President Cal Bradford, played by James Marsden. When Collins discovers the lifeless body of the President, he is faced with the task of unraveling the circumstances surrounding the death. Additionally, it is unveiled that the President and a handpicked group of citizens are residing in an underground shelter nestled in a Colorado mountain. The first season unravels gripping secrets, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.

“When embarking on a project like this, the goal is to captivate the audience, and we have been fortunate in that aspect. It is not just mere luck but rather the result of the incredible talent of the team and the captivating narrative,” shared Marsden in an interview with On The Red Carpet.

“I think it’s rare to be a part of something that not only is a critical hit but it’s also a popular hit. Audiences and critics alike are both gravitating towards the show and I think that’s rare,” said Sarah Shahi, who plays Dr. Gabriella Torabi.

“I think we’ve had such a good combination of people connecting with some of the grief and loss that it touches on and then also falling in love with all the characters,” said Nicole Brydon Bloom, who plays Agent Jane Driscoll.

The episode that’s been getting the most attention is seven, which is mostly flashbacks of how a natural disaster decimated most of our planet, how the President addressed the country with the truth and how many of those who live in the bunker ended up there. It also reveals how Xavier’s children made it to the bunker but not his wife.

“You’ve got guns, you’ve (an) got end-of-the-world story, you’ve got a husband and wife story. I mean the doors are closing as the people are rushing toward, it’s all the things you’d want from a great tragedy,” said Krys Marshall who plays Agent Robinson.

“Most folks seem to be very satisfied with how the season ended but yeah, now we gotta see what happens next. LIke, it has a certain propulsion to it that I think is infectious,” Brown said. “As an audience member, I enjoy the ride.”

Not only is Brown an audience member and star, he is also an executive producer. On The Red Carpet asked for a hint about season 2, which begins filming soon.

“It is what you expect in terms of what’s happening on the outside. But the way in which we tell the story is always gonna be slightly unexpected,” he said calmly.

But as he continued talking about what’s to come, he got more and more enthusiastic.

“It’s so good. Like, it’s SO good,” Brown said.

“As a fan of the show, as a fan of TV, I read it and I started doing a little dance. Like, I do a little dance because I’m like ‘oh, they don’t know what they’re about to get.’ But what they’re about to get is something dope, baby! It’s gonna be hot! It’s great. It’s great!”

Brown’s tease – and happy dance, which you can see in the video above – had On The Red Carpet wondering what could come next in season two. Could we see more of the backstories of Jane and her obsession with that Wii?

“She wanted what she wanted and she asked politely, you know,” Bloom said slyly.

“I would love to know more about her,” she continued.

Julianne Nicholson says she got some hints from creator Dan Fogelman about her character, Sinatra.

“He’s given me a lot of broad strokes, but not how I get there. So there’s a lot of information to reveal and I’m excited to see how it actually happens,” Nicholson explained.

“We’re gonna start shooting very, very soon so that you don’t have to wait too long. So enjoy the burn, enjoy the not knowing, enjoy the waiting and then we can deliver you something special.”

Season one of “Paradise” is streaming now on Hulu.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Hulu and this ABC station.
