Paradise Season 2 has been greenlit, and the show’s teeming fans are curious about what comes next. Created by Dan Fogelman, the first season of the Hulu political thriller revolved around Secret Service Agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) and other survivors of an apocalyptic event living in an underground bunker. The community comes complete with a president and a few political juggernauts. They lived a peaceful and perfect life until President Cal Bradford (James Marsden) was found dead by Xavier.
In his hunt for the president’s killer, agent Xavier opens a can of worms that threatens the peace in the bunker. He also makes a shocking revelation about his wife, setting up exciting threads to explore in another intriguing entry in the series. On February 20, 2025, the show’s Instagram account shared a video of Brown, confirming that the series has been renewed for a second run. Here are some exciting twists to look out for in Paradise Season 2.
1. The Seemingly Perfect Community in the Bunker will Never be the Same
Following the death of President Cal, the feeling of peace and safety in the bunker has been disrupted. It didn’t help that Xavier’s detective work uncovered more secrets that threatened the perfect community their leaders wanted to project. In the episodes leading up to the finale, things fell apart. Besides, with Xavier leaving the bunker and Agent Billy Pace (Jon Beavers) dead, there is no telling what will happen next.
2. The Picturesque Paradise Town May have Outlived its Importance
If the Paradise Season 1 ending is anything to go by, Xavier is about to discover a whole new world. The season ended with him flying a plane beyond the safety zone of the bunker to search for his wife in a world they thought was doomed. Depending on what he finds out there, the bunker is likely to lose its relevance while the focus will shift to the real world. Overall, the perfect life in Paradise Town has been blown away by the wind, and things are about to get real.
3. What Plans Does Jane Have Aside From Playing Wii?
While it seems she just wants to play the video game Wii, Agent Jane Driscoll (Nicole Brydon Bloom) might have other plans for the bunker and its residents. Perhaps the most unpredictable character in the first season, Jane surprises viewers with her evolution from a harmless rookie to a badass assassin who will go to any length to get what she wants. However, it’s difficult to read her and even more to predict where her motivation lies, especially after killing her boyfriend in cold blood. Additionally, telling Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson) she’s no use to her dead right after shooting her hints at Jane’s plans to use her in Paradise Season 2.
4. The Symbol on the Mystery Man’s Jacket is an Exciting Twist to Explore
Before the killer’s identity was revealed in Paradise season 1 ending, Xavier’s teen daughter Presley Collins (Aliyah Mastin) recalled seeing a flower symbol on the jacket worn by the man she saw leaving the president’s residence on the night of his murder. Interestingly, Cal’s father, Kane Bradford (Gerald McRaney), has a priceless gift from his late wife with a similar symbol. Does this symbol have anything to do with Kane’s ruthless past, which has come back to haunt him? Notably, his memory is no longer reliable due to dementia.
5. Jeremy Bradford Looks Ready to Play a More Vital Role in Paradise Season 2
In the lead up to the season 1 finale, late President Cal’s son, Jeremy Bradford (Charlie Evans), got more screen time and played important roles, a plot thread that might run into the second installment. He helped expose the truth about his father’s death and told everyone that people survived the catastrophe outside the bunker. With the way people are teeming up around him, a power tussle might ensue between Jeremy and the billionaires under Sinatra in Paradise Season 2.
6. Is Xavier’s Wife, Teri, Really Alive?
Considering her questionable reputation, Sinatra’s claim that Xavier’s wife is alive cannot be trusted. All she played was a recording of Teri’s voice saying she’s one of the survivors looking for their loved ones. As such, she might be lying to save herself. However, the explorers sent out to verify the condition of the world after the catastrophe confirmed that there were survivors. While there’s no concrete proof of life, Xavier is going in search of his wife in a world presumed to be inhabitable, setting up a great arc for Paradise Season 2.
