- April 22, 2026
AceShowbiz - Paradise is gearing up for its third season on Hulu with an exciting new addition to the cast. Emmy-winning actress Julianna Margulies is set to join the post-apocalyptic drama, marking her first television series role since appearing in seasons two and three of The Morning Show on Apple TV.
The show, created by Dan Fogelman, is known for its secrecy, and as usual, details about the character Margulies will portray remain tightly under wraps, locked away like a secret in a mountain.
Hulu renewed Paradise for a third season back in March, aligning with Fogelman’s vision of a three-season narrative arc. The second season ended on a dramatic note with the death of a major character and a shocking revelation that opened the door to numerous questions about the direction of the story moving forward.
In the previous season, Sterling K. Brown’s character, Xavier, continues his search for his wife, Teri, played by Enuka Okuma, exploring the outside world beyond the bunker and uncovering how humanity has managed to survive three years after the collapse. Meanwhile, the social order within Paradise begins to unravel as new secrets about the city’s origins come to light following the fallout from season one.
The season two cast also includes Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Krys Marshall, Aliyah Mastin, Percy Daggs IV, and Charlie Evans. Recurring roles are filled by James Marsden, Shailene Woodley, Thomas Doherty, and Jon Beavers.
Paradise is produced by 20th Television, where Dan Fogelman holds an overall deal. He executive produces the series alongside Jess Rosenthal, John Hoberg, Sterling K. Brown, Steve Beers, Glenn Ficarra, and John Requa.
The news of Julianna Margulies joining Paradise was first reported by Deadline, adding fresh anticipation for the upcoming season as fans await how her character will influence the evolving story.
