Paradise Season 2

Today marks the official launch in India of the highly acclaimed political sci-fi thriller Paradise Season 2. This morning, the first three episodes of the new season began streaming on JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium). They mark a return to the high-stakes universe that Dan Fogelman (This Is Us) built. Continuing to follow the survival of humanity within—and now outside—an underground bunker in Colorado, the series continued to receive substantial Emmy attention for its initial season.

What is Xavier Collins’ mission in Paradise Season 2?

After the shocking events of the first season's finale, Season 2 jumps right in. Sterling K. Brown's Xavier Collins, a former Secret Service agent, enters the "Paradise" bunker, and the storyline changes to follow his adventures. In a daring quest to find his wife, Teri, Xavier sets out after learning that the outside world is not a radioactive wasteland, as the survivors had been taught to believe.

The crisis within the bunker escalates as Xavier meets other survivors who have weathered the three years following "The Day" and investigates the surface world's wreckage. The social fabric is being torn apart by power battles within the underground metropolis and the revelation of long-buried facts about its origins.

Season 1 saw such success that it received a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama Series.
