"We're so excited": Paradise Season 2 writer Nadra Widatalla leaves promising updates on the second chapter's arrival

Paradise Season 2 could be coming to Hulu soon according to writer Nadra Widatalla.

The show follows the story of secret service agent Xavier Collins (played by Sterling Brown), who is investigating the murder of President Cal Bradford (played by James Marsden) while being the prime suspect himself. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world, where a community of elites has taken refuge in an underground bunker.

The futuristic political thriller series created by Dan Fogelman premiered in January 2025. It was renewed for Season 2 in February 2025. While speaking to The Direct, Nadra Widatalla shared that the writers are excited about the next season and the script is already in the works. She said,

“Season 2 was announced not too long ago. We're so excited, and I'm currently on lunch break in the writers room right now. So, you know, and it's funny, because I posted something on Tiktok the other day, and people are like, stop posting a Tiktok. Get back in the room. Like, we need 10 seasons now, you know, which is, like, really, really exciting. The energy in the room is just, it's pulsating. We're pumped.”

What can we expect in Paradise Season 2?

The finale of Paradise Season 1 aired on March 4, 2025. It revealed that librarian Trent (played by Ian Merrigan) had killed the President. Meanwhile, Collins contemplates venturing into the post-apocalyptic world outside to look for his wife, setting the foundation for the next season.

The upcoming season may give the audience more insight into what lies beyond the comforts of the community. Speaking about how things were left at the end of Season 1, especially about Collins' wife Teri, Widatalla said,

“Those are the new questions that people are asking, right? Is Terry alive? If so, how has she survived? If not, like what? You know? Why isn't she alive? What is the world out like there? I think those are one of the biggest questions people are asking, and in true Fogelman style, we're going to answer them, you know, in due time.”

When will Paradise Season 2 premiere?

While shows such as Apple TV+'s Severance took a long time to return for their next season, Widatalla shared that Paradise Season 2 writers are already at work and the premiere won’t be too far. She said,

“…The fact that the writers room is already underway, like it's, you know, or towards the end of it is, it should paint a picture for you that this is coming sooner than that.”
