Adam Blevins began working in the entertainment industry in 2022 as a Staff Writer for Agents of Fandom, where he progressed to Senior Editor and interviewed talent from Marvel Studios, House of the Dragon, and Planet of the Apes. He joined Collider as a News Author in April 2024, was promoted to a Senior position in December 2024, and has written over 3,000 articles for the site, including exclusives relating to Avengers: Doomsday, The Penguin, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and more. He primarily writes about the latest box office numbers and the hottest movies and TV shows on streaming, while also covering superhero and sci-fi news. He has completed a set visit for The Chosen and even has several months of experience writing Gaming Features at ScreenRant. You can find him on X, LinkedIn, and Muckrack.

Hulu is angling for another massively successful year in 2026, and it’s already heading down the right path thanks to the release of Paradise. The dystopian sci-fi thriller was written and created for TV by This Is Us scribe Dan Fogelman, who even recruited his long-time colleague and friend, Sterling K. Brown, for the lead role in the show. The first season of Paradise began as a murder mystery that expands when we learn it’s taking place inside an apocalypse bunker under the ground, but Paradise Season 2 flips the script by showing the world on the outside isn’t what we’ve been led to believe. Paradise just wrapped up earlier this week with a bonkers Season 2 finale that has fans around the world questioning where the show could be heading with Season 3.

The good news: Paradise has already been officially renewed for Season 3, and Dan Fogelman has confirmed that it’s already written with production set to begin soon. Fogelman has also revealed that Paradise Season 3 will be the final season of the show, despite Disney asking him to stretch the story out and do more episodes. Props to any writer who isn’t willing to compromise their story for the sake of trying to produce more episodes for a streamer. It’s now been a few days since the Paradise Season 2 finale began streaming on Hulu, and the numbers are finally in. It’s been revealed that the Paradise Season 2 finale scored a whopping 4.3 million viewers during its first three days on the platform. Hulu made the right call, greenlighting the show for a third season before the conclusion of the second.

What’s Going To Happen in ‘Paradise’ Season 3?

Plot details about Paradise Season 3 are being kept under wraps for now, but Sterling K. Brown has teased a multiversal conclusion for the show that includes alternate timelines and dimensions. The series has been transitioning towards hard sci-fi since the start of Season 2, but there have been subtle teases since the beginning that the show is much more than a traditional murder mystery. Paradise Season 3 is expected to begin filming soon, which should leave it no trouble returning before the end of 2027.
