Hulu’s hit dystopian thriller Paradise has fans eagerly awaiting news about its second season. With its gripping plot and stellar cast, including Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson, and James Marsden, the show has captured widespread attention. But is Paradise Season 2 releasing in June 2025? Here’s everything we know so far.
Paradise Season 2 Renewal Status
Hulu officially renewed Paradise for a second season on February 20, 2025, before the first season’s finale aired on March 4, 2025. The announcement came via the show’s Instagram account, with Sterling K. Brown sharing the exciting news in a video responding to fans clamoring for more episodes. Creator Dan Fogelman also celebrated the renewal on X, thanking fans for their enthusiasm and theorizing about the show’s twists. With the renewal confirmed early, production moved quickly, ensuring fans won’t face a long wait for the next chapter.
Is Paradise Season 2 Releasing in June 2025?
As of June 9, 2025, Hulu has not confirmed a specific premiere date for Paradise Season 2, and a June 2025 release is highly unlikely. Series creator Dan Fogelman has stated that production began in April 2025, with scripts already written. In interviews with Deadline and Variety, Fogelman expressed frustration with long gaps between seasons and aims to release Season 2 in early 2026, potentially aligning with the January 2025 premiere window of Season 1. While some sources speculate a possible early 2026 debut, no official confirmation points to June 2025. Fans should expect new episodes between January and summer 2026, depending on production timelines.
What Will Paradise Season 2 Be About?
Paradise Season 2 will pick up where the Season 1 finale, “The Man Who Kept the Secrets,” left off. The first season revealed that Paradise is a city-sized underground bunker in Colorado, housing survivors three years after a catastrophic climate event. The finale resolved the mystery of President Cal Bradford’s murder, identifying Trent (Ian Merrigan), a former construction leader, as the killer seeking justice for workers poisoned during the bunker’s creation. It also disclosed that 55 million Americans, including Xavier’s wife Teri, survived the apocalypse outside the bunker, a secret kept by Sinatra to maintain control.
