Hulu is staying locked in on Paradise. The streamer has officially renewed the Dan Fogelman-created drama for a third season, doubling down on the series’ growing impact ahead of its Season 2 finale, set to premiere March 30.
Led by Sterling K. Brown, the post-apocalyptic political thriller has quietly become one of Hulu’s most consistent performers. Since returning with its second season on February 23, the series has held strong on the platform’s Top 15 Today list, signaling both sustained interest and growing word-of-mouth momentum.
And the numbers back it up.
According to Disney, Paradise Season 2 has already pulled in 30 million hours of viewership, while Season 1 continues to find new life with an additional 25 million hours watched. Altogether, the series has amassed nearly 12 billion minutes streamed globally—a major feat for a show that blends character-driven storytelling with high-stakes world-building.
Critically, the series has also positioned itself as an awards contender. Its first season earned four Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series, with acting nods for Brown, James Marsden, and Julianne Nicholson. With Season 2 expanding both its emotional depth and narrative scope, it’s expected to remain in the awards conversation.
The show follows Xavier (Brown), who, after discovering that survivors—including his wife Teri (Enuka Okuma)—may still be alive outside the bunker, ventures into the unknown for the first time since the world’s collapse. Season 2 pushes that journey further, introducing new factions of survivors while tensions escalate back in the Colorado-based bunker community, where trust is unraveling and secrets refuse to stay buried.
The current season features a strong ensemble including Nicholson, Okuma, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Krys Marshall, Aliyah Mastin, Percy Daggs IV, and Charlie Evans. Recurring appearances from Marsden, Shailene Woodley, Thomas Doherty, and Jon Beavers continue to deepen the show’s expanding world.
Created by This Is Us mastermind Dan Fogelman, Paradise is produced by 20th Television, with Fogelman executive producing alongside Jess Rosenthal, John Hoberg, Steve Beers, Glenn Ficarra, John Requa, and Brown.
With a third season now secured, Paradise isn’t just surviving—it’s evolving into one of Hulu’s signature dramas.
Season 2 is currently streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ in the U.S., with international audiences watching via Disney+.
