It’s been a week since we learned who what Alex is, saw Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson) sacrifice herself for the greater good, watched the bunker blow, got a clue that Jane (Nicole Brydon Bloom) might not be dead, saw Link/Dylan (Thomas Doherty) meet his daughter, and were left to wonder if Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) will find Bunker #2 and save the world.
Needless to say, Paradise Season 2, Episode 8 left off on quite the gripping cliffhanger. So fans of fans of Dan Fogelman’s hit genre-bending drama on Hulu are craving more episodes, answers, and Blucifer visuals. The question is, will we get them? And if so, when?!
Is there a new episode of Paradise on tonight, Sunday, April 5 or Monday, April 6? How many episodes are in Paradise Season 2? Is Paradise Season 2, Episode 8 the series finale? Or will there be a Paradise Season 3 on Hulu? And if so, what could a third season of Paradise look like?
Here’s everything we know about the future of Paradise, including its Season 3 renewal status, updates from creator Dan Fogelman and Sterling K. Brown, streaming info, and more.
Is There A New Episode Of Paradise This Week On Hulu?
Unfortunately, no. If fans are hoping to catch a new episode of Paradise on Sunday, April 5 or Monday, April 6, they’re out of luck. Why? Well…
How Many Episodes Are In Paradise Season 2?
Like Season 1 before it, Paradise Season 2 consists of eight episodes total.
Will There Be A Paradise Season 2, Episode 9?
Sadly, no. Paradise Season 2, Episode 8 ends on one heck of a cliffhanger as usual, but “Exodus” also served as the Season 2 finale, which means fans will have to wait for Season 3 to find out what the future holds for Xavier, Dylan, and the rest of the Paradise crew. Read on for more Season 3 info!

Will There Be A Paradise Season 3 On Hulu? Paradise Season 3 Info:
You bet! On March 17, ahead of Season 2’s final two episodes, Hulu renewed Paradise for Season 3. Hooray! Since the start of the series, creator Dan Fogelman was incredibly open about having a three-season arc in mind, but the bad news is that Paradise is on track to end with Season 3 as planned.
Paradise Season 3 Premiere Date: When Does Paradise Return With New Episodes On Hulu?
While an official Paradise Season 3 premiere date has yet to be announced, Fogelman and Brown have been very open about not wanting to keep fans waiting, so we have high hopes that Paradise‘s one season per year tradition will continue and we’ll get new episodes early 2027 — or sooner!
On March 21, Fogelman announced the Paradise writers’ room had already finished writing Season 3! And when speaking with the Los Angeles Times, Fogelman confirmed Paradise resumes filming in early April and said he hopes it will air “even quicker” than Season 2. “My instinct with this show, and all these types of shows, is the sooner you can get them back on air in a regular rhythm, the better it is for the show and for the viewer,” Fogleman explained. KING!
For those who want a refresher, here’s when past Paradise seasons premiered:
- Paradise Season 1: January 26, 2025 – March 4, 2025
- Paradise Season 2: February 23, 2026 – March 30, 2026
Paradise Season 2 Ending Explained: What Will Paradise Season 3 Be About?
If you’re looking for a detailed Paradise Season 2 finale recap, Decider’s got you covered. But when thinking about the major Season 3 arc, here’s what you need to know. The OG bunker exploded with Sinatra inside. Before she sacrificed herself, she gave Xavier the key to “Alex” and filled him in on her time travel plans.
“I need you to listen to me carefully. About 100 miles from here, there’s a second bunker deep underneath the Denver Airport,” she explained. “It houses a quantum computer that can stop all of this. In fact, it already has stopped all of this. You just need to get there and follow its instructions. It’s a lot of weight to put on your shoulders, but I believe you can carry it. It’s a lot to ask, but I’m asking. Go save the world, Agent Collins.”
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Brown teased Xavier’s Season 3 mission, saying, “Link is of the perspective that Alex is dangerous. And Sinatra is of the perspective that only Alex can restore the world to a place that feels familiar to everyone. So if anybody could save the world, it would be Xavier. And I say that because of the way the character has been set up. He’s someone who always tries to do the right thing. That card says X on it for a reason. If anybody could do it, it would be Xavier.”
Brown also commented on the Alex of it all and promised that fans’ questions will be answered in the end. “Fogelman will say blatantly that Lost was formidable in helping him conceive This Is Us and of Paradise,” Brown told THR. “The way that the past affects and influences the present, and also then the future, is something we play around with in both shows. So all I can really say is that when Paradise is all done, it will all make sense.”
Will There Be A Paradise Season 4?
Sadly, no! When chatting with the LA Times, Fogelman confirmed that although “there is always pressure” to carry on with more seasons he’s staying true to his original three-season arc. “I try to resist the pressure because I think it’s the right way to tell the story. Sterling feels similarly. I was very clear from the beginning that I had a three-season plan. I don’t imagine a world where I would shift that plan. And, frankly, what we do in Season 3 doesn’t leave room for it,” he said.
How To Watch Paradise: Hulu Streaming Info
While we wait for more Paradise Season 3 updates, we highly recommend a rewatch. Since Paradise is a Hulu original series, you’ll have to be a subscriber to watch. (You can also watch through Hulu on Disney+ if you’re a bundle subscriber.) It’s also worth noting that Season 1 aired on broadcast following its finale, so it’s likely that will be the case with Season 2. Until then, here’s how to stream:
If you’re new to Hulu, you can get started with a 30-day free trial on the streamer’s basic (with ads) plan. After the trial period, you’ll pay $10.99/month. If you want to upgrade to Hulu ad-free, it costs $18.99/month.
If you want to stream even more and save a few bucks a month while you’re at it, we recommend subscribing to one of the Disney+ Bundles, all of which include Hulu. These bundles start at $12.99/month for ad-supported Disney+ and Hulu and goes up to $32.99/month for Disney+, Hulu, and Max, all ad-free.
