Paradise creator Dan Fogelman is giving fans an update on Season 3 in an all-new interview, teasing progress on the latest chapter of his hit Hulu series. Renewed for Season 3 on March 17, 2026, Paradise‘s return promises the continuation of Xavier Collins’ (Sterling K. Brown) story as he attempts to save the world.
The renewal didn’t come as a major surprise, as series creator Fogelman and star Brown had previously teased a three-season plan for the story. Thankfully, Hulu is making way for the full arc they’d intended. While Season 2 may have wrapped airing recently, the arrival of Season 3 is closer than before, with filming already in progress. Below, we’re breaking down everything we know about Paradise Season 3 already. Scroll down for a closer look and stay tuned for any major reveals surrounding Paradise Season 3 in the months ahead.
When will Paradise Season 3 premiere?
No premiere date for Paradise Season 3 has been announced, but considering Season 1 debuted in late January 2025 and Season 2 kicked off in late February 2026, we’ll keep our hopes up that Season 3 could arrive around a similar time in 2027. And the future is already looking bright for the fans of the series, as Fogelman posted a photo from set as Season 3 production commences.
“S3. Let’s go.” Fogleman wrote on Instagram alongside an image of a viewframe featuring the cast with the words “Another Day in Paradise.” See the fun behind-the-scenes moment below:
What has been said about Paradise Season 3?

When TV Insider caught up with Brown during Season 1’s run, he shared, “I can tell you this, [Dan] has conceived, as a show, three seasons.. He’s like, ‘I’ve got three seasons in my head,’ and one thing I’ve learned is when Dan says, ‘I’ve got three seasons,’ he means, ‘I’ve got three seasons.’”
For fans of Dan Fogelman’s previous series, This Is Us, a similar plan was devised as Fogelman envisioned the Pearson family’s story as a six-season journey. Ultimately, the show ran for six seasons. Whether Season 3 of Paradise will be the show’s last remains to be seen, as Hulu hasn’t designated it the final chapter yet.
In an interview with Gold Derby, Fogelman offered an update on production and hinted that the end is near for more than one character. “We’re a little over halfway through filming,” he told the outlet in June 2026. “We started filming episode five last week. The scripts are all done, and all of them are being prepped now. So we’re really nearing the end.”
“There are characters whose stories are coming to a conclusion — not necessarily because they’re dying,” Fogelman clarified. “I’m writing a lot of emails wrapping people from the series now, on their last day of filming. So we’re at that stage now.” In other words, some characters will bid viewers adieu before Season 3 is adieu.
Who will star in Paradise Season 3?
Paradise‘s current second season stars Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Krys Marshall, Enuka Okuma, Aliyah Mastin, Percy Daggs IV, and Charlie Evans, with James Marsden, Shailene Woodley, Thomas Doherty, and Jon Beavers serving as recurring guest stars. It’s unclear yet who will feature in Season 3, but we’d be willing to bet Brown will continue on to lead Season 3, and despite the show’s penchant for killing off characters, the door is open for any and all of the stars mentioned above, as Fogelman often incorporates characters, living or dead, into the story.
Meanwhile, Deadline announced that Julianna Margulies would join Season 3 of the hit series in a role that’s being kept under wraps for now. Stay tuned to learn more as additional casting is announced.
Dan Fogelman has since shared an image of Elijah Wood and Melissa Benoist on set filming scenes for Season 3. “S3. You have no idea where this thing is going,” he wrote over the image of Wood and Benoist, who appear to be dressed up in jumpsuits. Star Krys Marshall commented, “Dan can’t keep a secret to save his life!”
