What is Paradise about?
Paradise follows the story of Special Agent Xavier Collins, who is tasked with protecting President Cal Bradford.
However, when President Bradford is found dead in his locked office, it triggers a chain of events that could collapse the world as they know it.
After all, while his world looks like every other American neighbourhood, in fact it’s anything but…
There’s more to the story than anyone knows – and as Xavier searches for answers regarding the President’s death, he realises the key to uncovering the truth may lay outside Paradise completely…
Paradise was created by Dan Fogleman (This Is Us, Galavant) and first launched in January 2025.
It holds an 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with TV Insider saying of season 2: “Paradise exceeds expectations with a surprising, emotionally exciting, and robustly suspenseful new chapter.”
How many episodes of Paradise are there?
Paradise has run for two seasons to date, airing for 16 episodes – eight per season.
The team confirmed in March 2026 that the series will return for a third, and final, season, completing the story arc that they’ve had in mind since the show’s creation.
In January 2025, Dan Fogleman – Paradise’s showrunner – told Hollywood Reporter: “It’s going to be a three-season show. I know where it goes. I know what the shape of each season is … I didn’t have it all mapped out when I wrote it, but by the time people got the first script, I knew where it was going to go.”
Filming for season three is set to commence in April 2026.
