The hit Hulu drama thriller series Paradise is set to return with a second season following its successful premiere earlier this year. Fans have been looking forward to seeing what's next, especially with the cliffhanger ending of the first season.
Let's explore everything we know so far about the show's next season.
What is the Plot of Paradise Season 2?
As mentioned, the second season will continue where the first season finale left off, exploring the world outside the bunker and its survivors, who are managing to live there.
According to the logline, "Xavier searches for Teri out in the world and learns how people survived the three years since The Day. Back in Paradise, the social fabric frays as the bunker deals with the aftermath of Season 1, and new secrets are uncovered about the city's origins."
A teaser trailer was also recently released, giving fans an early look at what they should expect in the second season and the new world that will be explored.
Production for the second season took place earlier this year, immediately following the first season's airdate. Unlike most streaming shows today, they will be able to release a new season in an annual fashion.

The confirmed cast members who are returning from the first season are Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Krys Marshall, Enuka Okuma, Aliyah Mastin, Percy Daggs IV, and Charlie Evans.
