In true Dan Fogelman fashion, Paradise Episode 8 was jam packed with jaw-dropping twists, reveals, and a wealth of new storyline potential.
Finally, the latest episode of “The Man Who Kept the Secrets” revealed the much-anticipated answers to who, how, and why President Cal Bradford (James Marsden) was murdered. It also provided important information about Xavier Collins’ (Sterling K. Brown) wife Teri (Enuka Okuma) and more. The episode ended with Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson) facing a difficult situation and Jane (Nicole Brydon Bloom) gaining new influence.
So will Paradise return for Season 2? Or have we seen the last of Xavier’s story? We’ve got you covered.
Are you wondering if “Paradise” will air tonight, June 2? Do you want to know how many episodes are left in “Paradise” and when new episodes will return on ABC and Hulu? Are you curious whether Hulu has renewed “Paradise” for a second season?
Here’s everything to know about the future of Paradise, including Paradise‘s Season 2 premiere date, cast, streaming info, and more.
Sadly, no. There won’t be a new episode of Paradise airing on ABC this Monday, June 2, 2025.
The first season of “Paradise” consisted of eight episodes, with ABC having already broadcast all the episodes. Does this mean the end of “Paradise”? Or could fans expect more adventures with Xavier in the future?
Before we dive into Paradise Season 2 info, if you’re looking for a refresher on Paradise Episode 8, Decider’s got you covered! You can check out our Paradise finale recap to find out who killed President Cal Bradford (James Marsden). After you’re all caught up, here’s everything to know about Paradise Season 2.
And now, for the moment of truth! Curious if Paradise Season 2 is a go at Hulu? You bet! On February 20, ahead of the Season 1 finale, Hulu renewed Paradise for Season 2, with Fogelman revealing he has a three-season arc for the series already planned out.
“I have a plan for three seasons of the show. Without giving away too much, each season of the show is a slightly different show, within the same show with the same characters,” Fogelman told The Hollywood Reporter. “…As we go into second season, we pivot a little bit, but in a way that I think is very follow-able. But yes, there’s big moves ahead.”
In an interview with Decider, Paradise star Sarah Shahi also opened about a second season and confirmed that her character Gabriela would be returning. “I’m not 100% sure what that storyline would look like, but we have talked about Season 2. I would be a part of [it],” she said. “And Dan is just so damn good. He creates such rich characters that really can go anywhere, and he builds in so much heart for each person. I would love to explore what Gabriela’s backstory is and go along that ride with him.”
While an official Paradise Season 2 premiere date has yet to be announced as of June 2, 2025, production on the second season is currently underway and Fogelman confirmed that the sophomore season is expected to premiere in early 2026. Based on Season 1’s success, there’ a chance that Paradise Season 2 could premiere in January again, but we’ll be sure to update this post when we know more.
Paradise Season 2 will feature a number of returning Season 1 favorites, including Brown, Shahi, and more. But four big names have also been added to Paradise Season 2’s cast: Shailene Woodley, Thomas Doherty, Michael McGrady, and Timothy Omundson. While we wait for more Season 2 casting announcements and character info, here’s how to stream the series.
