Paradise Season 2 Expands Story, Adds Woodley

Paradise, Hulu's apocalyptic political thriller created by Dan Fogelman and starring Sterling K. Brown, has been renewed for a second season after a breakout finale watched by 6.3 million viewers. At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, the first footage of Season 2 introduced Shailene Woodley as Annie, a Graceland tour guide caught in chaos before the extinction event. The premiere episode, titled 'Graceland,' focuses on Annie and a security guard trying to survive in Elvis's mansion. Woodley's Comic-Con appearance marked her first in nearly a decade and was met with enthusiastic cheers. Season 2 will expand the story beyond the bunker, following Xavier as he searches for his wife and encounters other survivors. The narrative will split between Xavier's journey outside and ongoing drama within the Paradise bunker.
