If you thought it was just you watching Agent Xavier Collins guard the president through the chaos, add a few million more of a person to the nail-biters. Paradise had painted an irresistible underground escape from worldly ruin in this pulse-pounding political thriller, but without Sterling K. Brown's steely resolve, season one might not have been enough for the spectators.

While eager eyes scan for an official word, this apocalyptic enigma might have already started turning in its sleep, ready to reawaken.

The announcement for Paradise season 2 came on February 20, 2025, via Sterling K. Brown's Instagram video that quelled fan frenzy. Hulu is now aiming for an early 2026 release, building on season one's success across ABC and streaming. Production momentum promises timely delivery without prolonged waits. This green light has made the audience grip their own bunk beds twice as hard in anticipation. 

While he took a teasing peek at Voltron, Sterling K. Brown's Xavier Collins is going to venture outside the bunker to search for his wife amid surface survivors, both allies and foes, in season 2. In addition, the cast is set to include Shailene Woodley as a prominent survivor linked to Xavier's mission, Thomas Doherty as biker gang leader Link, and recurring roles by Michael McGrady, Timothy Omundson, Patrick Fischler, and guest Ryan Michelle Bathé. James Marsden will also appear in flashbacks despite his season one fate.
