Who stars in Paradise Season 2?
According to Hulu’s official release, Paradise Season 2’s cast includes Brown, Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Krys Marshall, Enuka Okuma, Aliyah Mastin, Percy Daggs IV, and Charlie Evans, with James Marsden, Shailene Woodley, Thomas Doherty, and Jon Beavers serving as recurring guest stars. These casting reveals hint that some flashbacks are likely ahead with the inclusion of Marsden and Beavers, whose characters were killed in Season 1.
It was announced by The Hollywood Reporter that Raymond Cham Jr. had been cast in a yet-to-be-revealed role, while Variety announced that Brown’s own real-life wife, Ryan Michelle Bathé would appear in a guest role. Hulu has yet to confirm further details regarding those roles.
What will happen in Paradise Season 2?
As viewers saw in Season 1, the story follows Brown’s Xavier Collins, a former special agent who once protected President Cal Bradford (Marsden) when a select group of individuals moved into an underground bunker amid a global catastrophe. Following Cal’s death and the investigation surrounding it, Xavier discovered there was a chance his wife may have survived the catastrophe that drove him and others underground.
When we spoke to Brown about the potential future of the show, he noted that Fogelman had a clear plan for Season 2 and a possible third season. “In Season 2, the idea is to explore what happened to the rest of the world,” Brown said at the time. As viewers will recall, Xavier set out on a plane to search for his wife, exiting the safety of the bunker.
According to Hulu’s official logline, Paradise Season 2 will see Xavier searching for his wife out in the world where he learns how people have been surviving in the three years since he and his kids went underground. Back in Paradise, the social fabric frays as the bunker deals with the aftermath of Season 1, and new secrets are uncovered about the city’s origins.
Who makes Paradise Season 2?
Paradise was created for television by Fogelman who executive produces the series for Season 2 alongside Jess Rosenthal, John Hoberg, Sterling K. Brown, Steve Beers, Glenn Ficarra, and John Requa.
