Paradise Season 2: Where to watch, release time, episde cout, cast and everything we know so far

The wait ended today. Paradise Season 2 dropped its first three episodes on Hulu this morning, and the post-apocalyptic thriller from Dan Fogelman keeps pulling people in deeper. Season 1 left everyone stunned with that bunker murder mystery and the big reveal about the outside world. Now the story steps outside those walls, and the stakes feel even higher.

Hulu has it exclusive in the US. If your Disney+ subscription includes the Hulu bundle, episodes show up there too. Season 1 is still streaming if anyone needs a quick refresh before jumping in. No sign of it hitting other platforms like Netflix or Prime yet – Hulu is the spot.

Release date and how the episodes roll out

Season 2 kicked off Monday, February 23, 2026. The premiere batch – episodes 1 through 3 – became available at midnight ET (that’s 9 p.m. PT Sunday night for West Coast folks). New episodes drop weekly on Mondays at the same early time slot after that. The full run should wrap by the end of March.

How many episodes total?

Just like the first season, eight episodes make up Season 2. Tight, no dragged-out filler – every chapter counts.

Who’s in the cast – returning stars and fresh faces

Sterling K. Brown is back leading as Xavier Collins, the Secret Service agent still hunting answers and now searching for his wife Teri beyond the bunker. Julianne Nicholson reprises Sinatra, the billionaire pulling strings to keep control. James Marsden returns in flashbacks or whatever role fits after Season 1’s wild turn. Sarah Shahi continues as Dr. Gabriela Torabi, Krys Marshall as Agent Robinson, and others from the core group hold things together.

New additions shake up the dynamic. Shailene Woodley joins in a major part – early looks show her tied to the outside survival story. Thomas Doherty comes in as Link, bringing fresh tension and alliances.
