Ever since Hulu’s near-perfect sci-fi series premiered a little over a year ago, subscribers have been hooked — something clearly reflected in its strong Rotten Tomatoes scores. Now comprising two seasons with a third on the way, a lot more twists and turns are expected as the story continues to expand its already mind-bending narrative. Dan Fogelman created the sci-fi masterpiece, which premiered on Hulu on January 26, 2025, and last aired about twenty-four hours ago with its intense Season 2 finale.
Renewed for a third season last month, Paradise won’t return until sometime in 2027, though filming on the new chapter begins on April 7. Executive producer and Season 2 finale co-writer John Hoberg has confirmed that creator Fogelman’s plan is still a three-season arc, with the upcoming Season 3 serving as a “pretty definitive” ending for the story. The EP, alongside series star Sterling K. Brown, also teased exciting developments ahead, hinting at a multiverse storyline.
Brown, whose Paradise character, Xavier Collins, has a new mission heading into Season 3, connected the events of the Season 2 finale to the possibility of a multiverse already existing on the show. He shared in an interview:
“I think this is Fogelman’s exploration of the multiverse… And so now that this is introduced into our world, I think the question is, what do you really want? Do you want to go back? Do you want to move forward and leave it alone? Is it too mysterious to play with, to even tinker with, or is it too compelling to not? And different people have different decisions to make based upon where they are in life at that particular time. And you’ll see how that plays out over the course of Season 3.”

What To Expect in ‘Paradise’ Season 3
In the final episode of Paradise Season 2, titled “Exodus,” it’s revealed that the “Alex” that Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson) has been hiding away is an advanced supercomputer that’s capable of time travel. The finale also sees Sinatra sacrifice herself to shut down the bunker while everyone else escapes its destruction. Still, before then, she tells Xavier he has to be the one to go to Alex and save them all — because she thinks he somehow already has in the future. Teasing Xavier’s next steps, EP Hoberg said:
“The question for me is… Will Xavier answer the call to do what she wants? I don’t know if I can name a specific genre [to describe Season 3], but I do know we’re going with. Xavier has been given a task, and I’m asking myself, is he going to follow through on this? And what are the repercussions if he does and if he doesn’t?”
