Even after a devastating apocalypse, life goes on… and the second season of Paradise is almost here! Sterling K. Brown returns as Special Agent Xavier Collins in the new season, following the thrilling and twist-filled mystery of the first season on Hulu.
The show’s exciting first season launched in January 2025 with a compelling first episode. It centers on Collins as he investigates the murder of President Cal Bradford (played by James Marsden) in a seemingly peaceful town.
The episode ended with a shocking reveal: the town isn’t what it seems. It’s actually the last remnant of American society, hidden in a massive underground bunker after a catastrophic volcanic eruption in Antarctica wiped out most of the world. The show is a political drama set in a post-apocalyptic world – think ‘The West Wing’ but after a global disaster, without the action and creatures of ‘Fallout’.
The first season revealed that the world outside the bunker isn’t as devastated as everyone thought. Now, Collins is setting out to find his wife, Teri (Enuka Okuma). Here’s when you can watch the first episode of Paradise Season 2.

How many episodes are there in Paradise Season 2?
Paradise Season 2, like Season 1, has eight episodes. The season’s big mystery – what happened to the President in the bunker – was solved in the final episode. It turned out the librarian was responsible, seeking revenge for the construction workers who died building the bunker.
The show’s second season is building on its story, exploring what happened after it was revealed that many people actually survived the three years of global cold following the catastrophic event known as “The Day.”
Dan Fogelman, the show’s creator, recently told Deadline that the upcoming episodes will explore the mysteries surrounding the bunker in more depth. While Season 1 answered questions about the bunker’s origins, Season 2 will delve into the true reasons behind its creation.
The second season deliberately features more science fiction elements than the first, particularly focusing on climate change, scientific concepts, and the challenges that follow. It delves deeper into survival stories, exploring how people managed to live outside the safety of the bunker.
Who is in the Paradise Season 2 cast?
The majority of the original actors are returning for Paradise Season 2. However, the show will also introduce some new characters as the story expands beyond the bunker.
Shailene Woodley, known for her role in Big Little Lies, will appear in the show as a survivor that the main character, Collins, encounters during his travels. Details about her specific role are being kept secret. Here are some other actors you can expect to see in the new season:
- Sterling K. Brown as Special Agent Xavier Collins
