“Paradise” Renewed For A Third Season
One of the best shows being released right now on Disney+ and Hulu is the second season of “Paradise”, an original drama series that is set in a serene community inhabited by some of the world’s most prominent individuals. But this tranquillity explodes when a shocking murder occurs, and a high-stakes investigation unfolds.
New episodes of the second season are currently being released weekly on Hulu and Disney+. This new season sees Xavier search for Teri out in the world and learns how people survived the three years since The Day. Back in Paradise, the social fabric frays as the bunker deals with the aftermath of season 1, and new secrets are uncovered about the city’s origins.
The show continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, amassing over 30M hours for S2 and nearly 12 billion minutes streamed globally across its first two seasons. Season 2 has also driven 25M hours of lift to Season 1 – showing the series is still finding new audiences that are starting with the first season.
Following this success, Disney has announced that the show has now been renewed for a third season, ahead of its season finale being released on March 30th 2026. Disney also released a video with Sterling K.Brown revealing the news via signs being shown to a camera, similar to an event in the second season.
The debut season earned four Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series and acting nominations for Sterling K. Brown, James Marsden and Julianne Nicholson, with Brown also earning Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice, and Actor Award nominations, as well as winning the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series.
“Paradise” is created and executive produced by Dan Fogelman. Jess Rosenthal, John Hoberg, Sterling K. Brown, Steve Beers, Glenn Ficarra and John Requa also executive produce. The series is a 20th Television production.

The first two seasons of “Paradise” are available to stream now on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ around the world.
Roger’s Take: I’m personally really happy to see “Paradise” return for a third season as I’ve been loving the show. However, I’m not surprised it’s getting a third season, since it’s doing very well in terms of viewership numbers, and also the creatives/actors have been very vocal about this show likely coming to a close after three seasons. Though that wasn’t confirmed with today’s announcement, it will likely depend on where the story goes in the third season. Many creators don’t want to keep a show of this nature around too long, especially if they have a grand story to tell, since the longer it goes on, it doesn’t necessarily mean the full story will get told.
