"Almost 22 years later, history is repeating itself. In 2025, slowly amassed a cult following with a story that began as a political whodunit, but completely changed when it was revealed the entire pilot took place in a massive underground city serving as a fallout shelter. And just like Lost before it, Season 2 of Paradise, streaming on Hulu on February 23, goes from good to great by shifting its focus."
"Through a series of new events and flashbacks, we slowly pieced together why the survivors fled to a bunker in Colorado: a massive weather event in Antartica threatened nuclear destruction, so President Bradford instead decided to deploy a series of EMPs, blowing every electrical panel across the globe. While that set society back centuries, it also meant that survivors - like Xavier's wife, Teri - could feasibly survive."
In the fall of 2004 ABC aired Lost, which began as survivors of a plane crash investigating strange rules of their island and later answered the hatch mystery with a Desmond cold open. Nearly 22 years later Paradise developed a cult following after revealing its pilot occurs in an underground fallout shelter. Hulu's Season 1 followed Secret Service agent Xavier Collins as he probed President Cal Bradford's murder and explained why survivors fled to a Colorado bunker after EMPs devastated global infrastructure. Season 2 of Paradise shifts focus outside the bunker, introducing Annie from Graceland as a vital addition.
