Spoiler alert! Spoilers forward for Paradise Season 1, so should you haven’t seen the collection, please stream it along with your Hulu subscription earlier than persevering with to learn.
We’re nonetheless firmly within the first half of the 12 months, however already Hulu’s Paradise has made a powerful case for being among the many greatest new collection on the 2025 TV schedule. Followers have been left in shock after an intense Season 1 finale, and Hulu didn’t waste any time in renewing it for a second run. I suppose creator Dan Fogelman is making an attempt to strike whereas the iron’s sizzling, as a result of we’ve already gotten our first new character for the upcoming season, and I’m so excited concerning the rumored position.
Shailene Woodley has been introduced as the primary new solid member to hitch Paradise Season 2, Deadline studies. Woodley is probably going greatest recognized for taking part in protecting single mom Jane on the Large Little Lies adaptation and teenage mother Amy on The Secret Lifetime of the American Teenager, in addition to one among George Clooney’s daughters in The Descendents.
The actress signed on for a significant recurring position on the dystopian political thriller, and whereas no official data was launched concerning the character she’ll play on Paradise Season 2, there are rumors which have me actually hyped.
On the finish of Season 1, it was revealed to Xavier Collins (Sterling Okay. Brown) that pure and nuclear catastrophe didn’t wipe out humanity on the floor of the Earth. There have been survivors — together with Xavier’s spouse Teri (Enuka Okuma) — and the Secret Service agent was headed out of their massive underground bunker looking for survivors.
Based on rumors, that’s the place Shailene Woodley might are available. Deadline says Woodley’s arc is allegedly tied to Xavier’s mission, as she might play a outstanding survivor.
The actress — who can be recognized for initiatives like The Fault in Our Stars, the Divergent collection and Ferrari. — has such vary that her character may go in so many instructions, so there’s actually no guessing how she’s going to assist (or hinder?) Xavier’s mission.
We additionally know that Shailene Woodley is ready to carry an emotional storyline, and with Dan Fogelman working the present, you may wager Paradise hits This Is Us-esque emotional notes. I positively don’t anticipate that to let up in Season 2. We already obtained the most heartbreaking scene between Xavier and Teri within the first season; I’m scared about what to anticipate now that we all know she survived the preliminary catastrophe.
Talking of issues to be afraid of in Paradise’s second season, not solely will we enterprise out to largely unknown territory for the primary time, however what is going to occur contained in the utopian bunker is simply as fraught.
As Julianne Nicholson’s Samantha “Sinatra” Redmond watched issues unravel in her artifical paradise, she turned fairly unhinged, however she seems to be nothing compared to secret murderer Jane Driscoll (Nicole Brydon Bloom). The brand new villain was prepared to go on a bloody rampage for some Wii Tennis, so there are seemingly no limits to the evil she’s able to.
I am unable to wait to seek out out extra about Shailene Woodley’s character and Season 2 normally, however within the meantime, the primary season is accessible to stream on Hulu.
