While Mr. Selfridge has supposedly been renewed, BBC1 has pulled the plug on The Paradise. There won’t be a third season for the period drama.
The Paradise revolves around the people who work and shop at the first English department store. Set in 1875, castmembers have included Emun Elliott, Joanna Vanderham, Elaine Cassidy, Sarah Lancashire, Matthew McNulty, Peter Wight, David Hayman, Stephen Wight, Sonya Cassidy, Ruby Bentall, Finn Burridge, and Patrick Malahide.
Of the cancellation, a BBC spokesperson said, “We are incredibly proud to have made two successful series of period drama The Paradise for BBC1. However, in order to make room for new dramas to come through, The Paradise won’t be returning.”
The show airs on PBS here in the US and only the first season has been shown. That ended in November and there’s been no word of airing the second season yet.
What do you think? Have you seen The Paradise? Would you watch season two? Are you sorry it’s been cancelled?
I hope The Paradise will return for season 3. I want to see John and Denise finally get married. I miss the show! It was very intriguing and captured many audiences attention. Please Return!!!!
So very disappointed to hear there is to be no season three for The Paradise! It was of a rare breed. Excellent series! Wish you would end it on a note of it being more ‘wrapped up’ than in the air as it is! We would indeed like to see Moray & Denise finally together!
What a pity…no more seasons for The Paradise.
What a stunning story woven around eye pleasing costumes and interesting characters. One has to really search hard to find a series that doesn’t over exploit sex, violence or language. The Paradise is such an intriguing story that it didn’t need any of that. Will sorely miss it.
My husband and I are sad to see an end to The Paradise. We were looking forward to a continuing of the series. We are sure that there will be seeing some more very wonderful programs and thank you for the enjoyment we had watching The Paradise.
Please, please, please! Make season 3 at least! I’ve got to see John and Denise get married, please!
I just went to research as to when “Paradise” would resume…you’ve got to be kidding right?
We beg you to bring The Paradise back to us!!!
My neighbor started me on this series. I bought DVD season 1 & 2 and have watched them with her & my sister a couple times. We so looked forward to Season 3!
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL “THE PARADISE”!!!
One of the best dramas on TV. Better than ITV’s period drama’s. Bring the paradise back BBC.
Bad move – this show is right up there with Downton Abbey.
Watched the last episode of season 2 on Netflix and so sad to just find out it is cancelled! Bad call!!!
Cannot believe it! Make room……powerlessness.
very disappointed it’s not coming back. I looked forward to seeing it.
Why cancel the successful Paradise to make way for other dramas when this is probably superior to what will be served up.
one of best shows on TV!!!!
This is one of the only shows my husband watched with me! We both waited for each episode. Do you know how many people will miss this series?!!!
