Previously, reports came that Hulu’s Sterling K. Brown-led post-apocalyptic thriller series “Paradise,” created by Dan Fogelman, was planned for just three seasons.
With the show’s second season having just debuted its first three episodes, there’s the obvious question as to whether that plan is still in place.
Speaking with THR while promoting the second season, series creator Dan Fogelman has confirmed that is still the case with the acclaimed show likely to end with its third season should an official renewal order be handed out by Hulu.
He reveals that the writers have already begun breaking the stories for a third run, and it seemingly ends the series pretty neatly:
“In season three, which we’re already breaking – we’re breaking episode seven right now, and we know where it ends [with eight]; we know what episode eight is. Everybody gets their due. I will say that.
But there’s only so much real estate, and the story really dictates. I personally want to know more about Robinson’s [Krys Marshall] backstory, and we’ll get that, along with other characters. Everyone will have a moment, but it’s when they come to significance in the grander story when we made those decisions.
We know what the end is, and it’s an end that would make it very difficult to make a season four come afterwards.”
“Silo” and “The Last of Us” are two other recent post-apocalyptic shows similarly went into production with limited 3-4 season runs in mind, though in those cases it was due to the limited nature of the source material (three books & two games respectively). Others like “Fallout” or “Twisted Metal” are more open-ended in nature.
Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Krys Marshall, Enuka Okuma, Aliyah Mastin, Percy Daggs IV, Charlie Evans, Shailene Woodley and Thomas Doherty also star in the series, which will finish its second season run on March 30th.
