“Big Little Lies” alum Shailene Woodley will play a major role in season 2. “Paradise” creator Dan Fogelman revealed during a June interview with Deadline that Woodley’s character survived outside the bunker after season 1’s catastrophic tsunami.

There were strange real-world parallels as the season was airing. Like how after President Donald Trump announced he wanted to declassify the JFK assassination files, Paradise had in an episode a line from James Marsden that the second he took office, he asked about the secrets: Bigfoot, JFK and aliens.

The first behind-the-scenes photos of Sterling K. Brown on location from Paradise Season 2 have been released by Hulu. As Xavier leaves the bunker, the pictures allude to dramatic, physical moments. According to Entertainment Week ly on X, the new season's images promise a lot of action and emotional nuance.

Sterling K. Brown teases a wilder, more dangerous world in Paradise season 2, with Shailene Woodley joining the cast.

As Decider’s exclusive Week 2 clip showed, Bachelor Season 19’s Parisa Shifteh and Alli Jo Hinkes “came in hot.” Later, Bachelor Season 16/ Paradise Season 8 contestant Jill Chin returned. Then Susie hit the beach in the most highly-anticipated arrival.

ParadiseSeason 2 has been in production for several months now, and after teases from creator Dan Fogelman and stars Sterling K. Brown and Julianne Nicholson, we finally have our first look at the second installment in the upcoming series.
