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?
What, I really enjoyed The Paradise. Boo.
Oh no! I was anxiously waiting for the next season!
That sucks so bad. I loved this show so much.
I love The Paradise! I so hoped it would not be canceled. What a shame!
So sorry to read that two seasons is all we get of this wonderful show.
I was so hoping to search and find that the third season was forthcoming.
🙁
Maybe we should go on indiegogo.com like they did for super troopers and fund it ourselves!!
Love this show. Please bring it back at least to tie up the loose ends and give us a happy ending.
Bring it back please! Just one more season even, to tie up lose ends like CLARA’S DAUGHTER, Moray and Denise’s happily ever after, and what happens to her lotion, crème shop? Seriously, please!!
When need to start a petition to the BBC – I love this show and I agree, we need to know how these things turn out!
Great idea, Jacki…let’s blast the website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a petition for the paradise, I signed ages ago. Think it has about 12,500 signatures last time I looked but still trying to get more.
If you could find it – could you post it here so we can add our signatures? Thanks!!
The Paradise petition is http://WWW.change.org save the paradise or can find and follow on Facebook .
The petition is closed now – looks like it was about 3, 400 signatures short 🙁
This petition is Closed. And we who has written on this petition have no idea if it is submitted to the BBC, unfortunately. It had over 11,000 signatures but what good is s that if it does not get sent off to the BBC. Sad very sad because I really liked this series very much.

Loved it! So sorry they decided to cancel. I hope they do another series like it.
My favorite show along with Call the Midwife. Downton Abbey, Homeland, Game of Thrones and Mr Selfridge come in right behind those two.
Please bring The Paradise back!
