Good news for science fiction lovers! 2026 promises to be a great year for the genre, with highly anticipated releases like Project Hail Mary, Neuromancer, and Blade Runner 2099 finally arriving. Plus, the critically acclaimed and popular dystopian series, known for its fantastic cast and being “ambitiously addictive,” will be back for a second season.
Created by Dan Fogelman and featuring Sterling K. Brown and James Marsden, the first season of Paradise received high praise, with an 86% rating from critics and an 84% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. This Hulu series is set in a massive underground bunker in Colorado, three years after a catastrophic event. The story follows Secret Service agent Xavier Collins as he investigates the president’s murder, but he soon becomes a suspect himself. As Xavier digs for the truth, he struggles to determine who he can trust, ultimately uncovering a shocking revelation. The second season finds Xavier searching for his wife on the surface while facing danger from those still inside the bunker.
The Second Season is Just as Good as the First
Season two of Paradise is a hit with critics, earning an 86% rating. It successfully resolves storylines from the first season while introducing new mysteries that are likely to lead to a third season. In a review for CBR, Martin Carr gave the show a 9/10, praising it as a satisfying and compelling dystopian drama on Hulu that leaves no loose ends.
While Paradise doesn’t break new ground in the dystopian genre – it uses familiar themes and can feel a little crowded at times – it’s a great example of why fun, exciting shows are still important, especially now with so much to watch. Sterling K. Brown gives an incredible performance, revealing increasingly complex and unsettling layers to his character and building constant tension. As Tessa Smith of Mama’s Geeky puts it, the show expertly highlights the dangers both above and below ground, and further cements Sterling K. Brown’s status as one of today’s finest actors.
