LOS ANGELES — “It’s really good.”

That’s the tease “Paradise” creator and showrunner Dan Fogelman gave about season two of the hit Hulu series.

On The Red Carpet had a chat with Fogelman when he received the Showrunner of the Year honor at the first Newport Beach TV Festival. He was still celebrating the success of the first season of “Paradise.”

“It’s enjoyable when a show today captures even a small part of the zeitgeist, and when people watch it simultaneously, debating and discussing the choices we make in the writers’ room,” Fogelman explained. “We’re creating entertainment, so when we are fortunate enough to have that moment, it’s an incredibly thrilling experience for all of us.”

In season one, the story followed Secret Service agent Xavier Collins, portrayed by Sterling K. Brown. He is tasked with protecting President Cal Bradford, played by James Marsden. After Bradford is killed, Collins must unravel the mystery of the killer and their motives. Meanwhile, viewers learn that the President and a select group of 25,000 Americans are living in a bunker following a massive disaster.

Fans on social media went wild, coming up with theories of what actually happened. Fogelman said he and his team read a lot of them!

“My writers are more into the, like the deep, deep, like, dark web Reddit theories,” he revealed. “I heard one that at the end of the season, the murderer was going to be the secretary who the President had left behind and I thought ‘that was very smart!'”

Season one ended with the reveal of the President’s killer along with some big cliffhangers, including Collins leaving the bunker to search for his wife in the outside world and Sinatra, played by Julianne Nicholson, being shot. So where does that leave us for season two?

“You will see more of Sinatra. She does get out of the hospital bed, so that’s a good thing,” Nicholson said. “And I think there’s a lot more of an understanding of how Paradise came to be, the actual building of it, construction of it and what needed to happen in order for that to unfold.”

“We watched the first season where you saw kind of what a city would be like, a bunker would be like, with all the time in the world and all the resources in the world to plan for it. So in the second season, we’re going to live still down there and see what happens when revolution is fermented down below. But we’re also going to see… for those who may have survived in the outside world, what were their bunkers like,” Fogelman teased, “How did other people in the outside world survive?”

Season two is currently filming and Fogelman is hard at work editing the first couple of episodes.

“We’re already over half way done shooting and it’s really good and Shailene Woodley joins the cast this year and she’s extraordinary.”

Is she playing someone from the outside world or someone inside the bunker? We’ll soon find out. In the meantime, you can catch up on season one of “Paradise.” It’s streaming now on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Hulu and this ABC station.
