Post-apocalyptic series Paradise is back with season 2, which takes the action outside the Colorado bunker. With a strong cast and the kind of plot you can’t look away from, it’s a show tailor-made for thriller and sci-fi enthusiasts.
So much so that, despite the second season having just premiered on Disney+ in the UK, some fans are wondering whether a third outing may be in the cards. Here’s what we know so far.
Paradise Season 3 Release Date
At the time of writing, Paradise hasn’t been officially picked up for more episodes. That said, we’re cautiously optimistic.
Creator Dan Fogelman previously stated that he has a three-year master plan, and writer John Hoberg confirmed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that work on a third season is underway. He also hinted that it will be the final one.
All in all, things are looking good. Timeline-wise, Paradise season 3 might arrive sometime in early 2027.

What Could Happen in Paradise Season 3?
While Paradise kicks off as a tense mystery thriller, it quickly reveals itself to be a sprawling post-apocalyptic drama. Three years after a global cataclysm, much of human civilisation has collapsed. A massive underground bunker city known simply as Paradise was built to protect a select group of survivors, including political leaders and billionaires.
Inside this subterranean enclave, Secret Service agent Xavier Collins is tasked with uncovering the truth behind the shocking death of a U.S. president. But Paradise is not just a safe haven. Turns out, it’s a tangle of secrets and power struggles. As expected, the price of survival is steep.
The first season ended with Xavier escaping the bunker and determined to search for his missing wife Teri. Season 2, which debuted with three episodes, picks up from there, painting a grim picture of what life looks like above ground. There are new mysteries and exciting cliffhangers that will make you come back from more.
By the looks of it, this installment will explore the world at large, while also keeping tabs on those still in the bunker. Depending on how things go, Paradise season 3 might see the outside collide with the inside, and finally let us know whether humanity still has a shot at long-term survival.
Until then, you can catch weekly season 2 episodes on Disney+, with the finale scheduled for March 30.
