What This Means For Paradise Season 2
Focusing On What Works
The Emmy-nominated Hulu series has more in common withThis Is Usthan just a shared star and creator. Throughout its first installment, almost every episode focused on a character’s backstory prior to the world ending and right after. This is not too different from howThis Is Uswould often tell a story through flashbacks, weaving together different timelines.
The footage highlighted, in any case, hints that there will be an episode focused on Woodley’s tour guide. It’s taking the approach of utilizing familiar locales and iconic settings, twisting them with the question of what they would look like at the end of the world. It’ll be fun to see what that means for Graceland, a place that many viewers will know by name and the Elvis association.
Paradiseseason 2 does not have a specific release date announced yet.
Paradiseseason 2will pick up after the resolution of the murder of the U.S. President, and there will be other additions to the cast. Michael McGrady (The Perfect Couple), Timothy Omundson (Psych), and Thomas Doherty (Tell Me Lies) have all been confirmed, with each likely to get their own spotlight episode.
