A new trailer for “Paradise” Season 2 is here, and it shows more of the world outside the bunker.
Much of the trailer for the Emmy-nominated series’ second season focuses on Sterling K. Brown’s Xavier Collins venturing out of the bunker and onto the surface world to search for his wife, Teri Rogers-Collins (played by Enuka Okuma).
“Xavier searches for Teri out in the world and learns how people survived the three years since The Day,” a plot description from Hulu reads. “Back in Paradise, the social fabric frays as the bunker deals with the aftermath of Season 1, and new secrets are uncovered about the city’s origins.”
New on Hulu in January 2026
The trailer also shows another look at a new character played by Shailene Woodley. Though few details are known about Woodley’s role, she is presented in the new look as a guide to Xavier as he traverses the surface for the first time since the doomsday event that sent humanity underground.
“Out here,” Woodley’s character warns, “the little things will kill you.” Watch the trailer below:
