The second season of Paradise went out with a literal and figurative bang, it seems.
The finale, which debuted on March 30, scored 4.3M views globally in three days across Disney+ and Hulu, the company said Thursday. That’s up 35% over the premiere to a season-best audience for the sci-fi series.
It’s unclear exactly how this stacks up with Season 1, since Disney opted to release seven-day numbers for that episode. Per Hulu, the Season 1 finale drew 6.3M views in the first week. The company also previously reported 7M views in nine days for the very first episode of the series.
According to Hulu, audiences have streamed 13B minutes of Paradise to date.
In Season 2, after finding out survivors — including his wife, Teri (Enuka Okuma) — remain in the outside world in the Season 1 finale, Xavier (Sterling K. Brown) embarks on a quest to find her, journeying out from the Paradise bunker for the first time since the planet’s destruction. While he searches for her, he encounters bands of survivors and learns how they survived the three years since catastrophe struck Earth. Back in Colorado, tensions continue rising to the surface as the community grapples with broken trust and newly unveiled secrets.
Deadline unpacked the Season 2 finale and all the burning questions that we still have ahead of the third season.
Season 2 stars Brown, Julianne Nicholson, Okuma, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Krys Marshall, Aliyah Mastin, Percy Daggs IV and Charlie Evans, with recurring guest stars Marsden, Shailene Woodley, Thomas Doherty and Jon Beavers.
Created by and executive produced by Dan Fogelman (This Is Us), the 20th Television production also includes EPs Jess Rosenthal, John Hoberg, Steve Beers, Glenn Ficarra, John Requa and Brown.
