Spoilers forward for Season 1 of Paradise. Stream the collection now with a Hulu subscription.
It will most likely be incorrect to say that Paradise was an enormous shock for me when it hit the 2025 TV schedule, as a result of I’d by no means wager in opposition to Dan Fogelman and Sterling Ok. Brown to ship the products. Nevertheless, I wasn’t anticipating that the political thriller/catastrophe collection would make me so emotional in the identical method as This Is Us. I can’t wait to see what’s subsequent for the Emmy-nominated collection, and followers simply bought an enormous replace from Brown himself.
Paradise Season 2 has wrapped, Sterling Ok. Brown introduced by way of Instagram. Whereas I do know we nonetheless have some time to attend earlier than we are able to count on new episodes, I’m so hyped to understand how far alongside within the course of they’re — no less than I used to be till I noticed a remark that made me upset over that massive Season 1 demise once more. First, check out SKB’s video:
Sterling Ok. Brown strolled across the set as he thanked followers for “driving” with him and his colleagues. He stated they’re hoping to present us one thing “pretty much as good if not higher” for Paradise Season 2. It was a bittersweet day, the Oscar-nominated actor stated however, along with being excited for us to see their work on the upcoming season, SKB even expressed hope for a 3rd season!
It’s all very thrilling, and followers hit the remark part with enthusiasm. However, as I scrolled via the “congratulations” and dancing gifs, one remark despatched a jolt via me that I used to be not anticipating. Jon Beavers, who performed agent Billy Tempo on Season 1 wrote:
Congratulations, Large Boss!! 🍾
Whyyyyyyy? Why is Jon Beavers doing this to me? I used to be undoubtedly not able to be reminded of his character’s Season 1 demise.
Now, I’m on document as saying that I believe James Marsden’s Cal was probably the most tragic determine of Season 1, and I stand by that. However all of us knew stepping into that President Bradford was murdered, so his precise demise wasn’t probably the most jarring. I believe many followers would agree it was Billy Tempo getting killed by his girlfriend, fellow agent Jane Driscoll (Nicole Brydon Bloom), that was much more surprising and irritating.
A number of followers replied to his remark to share their very own grief over the lack of Billy, writing:
- Xavier BETTER have discovered Billy’s lengthy misplaced twin brother on the market! – @mamasheesh
- [Jon Beavers] I hope you had been simply enjoying useless in season 1 – @bethwilliamsss014
- We’re Comfortable with a Billy clone as effectively. – @iggy_the_dissectologist
Anyone who’s watched Dan Fogelman’s earlier hit present This Is Us is aware of {that a} character’s demise doesn’t imply we by no means see the actor once more. We’ll have to attend and see if Jon Beavers — and James Marsden, for that matter — do find yourself making anymore appearances on Paradise.
What we do know is that Shailene Woodley has been added to the forged for Season 2 and, as SKB’s Xavier Collins heads above floor to search out his spouse and different survivors, Sinatra’s underground “paradise” appears to be at an actual threat of erupting into full-blown chaos. I can’t freaking wait.
Paradise Season 2 is anticipated to hit Hulu in 2026.
