The second season of the Hulu streaming series Paradise got a release date announcement and a teaser trailer today at the CCXP convention in São Paulo, Brazil. Returning on February 23 for Season 2, Paradise stars Sterling K. Brown as secret service agent Xavier Collins as he unravels the mystery of the president of the United States’ murder. And that’s just the start of things for this show, which pulls more than a couple of rugs out from under its audience — and characters — throughout its first season.
Check out the teaser trailer for Season 2 right here:

Brown was on hand for the CCXP panel, along with series creator and executive producer Dan Fogelman and co-star Shailene Woodley, who joins Paradise for the new season. Here’s the official synopsis of Season 2 from Hulu: “Xavier searches for Teri out in the world and learns how people survived the three years since The Day. Back in Paradise, the social fabric frays as the bunker deals with the aftermath of Season 1, and new secrets are uncovered about the city’s origins.”
Brown had the following to say to the CCXP crowd about the new season: “So three years, being in this isolated thing from the rest of the world, thinking that the rest of the world has been destroyed, that nobody else existed. Then I finally go out into the world and I see that people, they have survived. … But you do see the resourcefulness of humanity finding a way to survive when it doesn’t seem like there is a way to survive, and people coming together and sharing their resource. … There is a part of me that has to trust and believe in the goodness of people. Right? To survive something you can only get through it together. If everybody’s scared at everybody all the time, then it’s just war. At some point in time you’ll have to come together and fight as a team.”

Check out our review of Season 1 of Paradise, where our writer Chase Hutchinson said “Paradise Season 1 is ridiculous, fun, yet still plenty flawed TV that proves once more that Sterling K. Brown is one of our most compelling actors.”
