Why 'Paradise' Producer Says the Show Is Ending After Season 3
Season two of Hulu’s hit show Paradise just dropped, but don’t expect for the show to stick around for years.
Executive producer and writer John Hoberg confirmed to THR in a new interview that creator Dan Fogelman is only planning on doing three seasons of the show.
“I was one of the people who was in [on the show] really early. It was me and [writer/co-executive producer] Scott Weinger with Dan [Fogelman] and Jess [Rosenthal, executive producer]. This was before we even gathered the [writers] room and Dan was trying to decide where it was going to go. That’s where we formulated the three-season idea and what those seasons would be. We knew we were in the bunker season one, and we knew we were going out and Xavier [Sterling K. Brown] was going to look for his wife [in season two],” he told THR.
John was asked if the ending is already planned out.

“We know what the end is, and it’s an end that would make it very difficult to make a season four come afterward,” he said.
About season two’s effect on the future of the series, John said, “It is setting up that there’s a lot of things going on in two different places. And if I were a viewer, I would wonder if those two different things might come together at some point.”
There’s a reason why the season one recap doesn’t play until episode two of the second season.
