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?
PLEASE PLEEEEASE bring back The Paradise. Masterpiece does period pieces so well and even though Mr. Selfridge has been renewed, there is room for this lovely show also. Not all of us like Mr. Selfridge as much as we LOVE The Paradise. We deserve to know what happens to our beloved characters.
This is a great show. A great period and wonderful characters Please reconsider and continue airing.
I loved the paradise! Wonderful story
and loved the clothes! Denise and her
handsome boss and love need to continue
PLEASE!!!
Please bring back the Paradise! I love the show and many others do too.
The best show I’ve seen so far- please continue this lovely story, it gets better with new episode- please finish this story/season 3….,
At lease give a finale with the wedding of the precious couple.
Iam very disappointed to hear the Paradise will not return. Loved the show. The best shows seem to be on PBS!
This is a TERRIBLE disappointment to hear that there will be NO MORE seasons of this INCREDIBLE drama on BBC! I love this much more than Mr. Selfridge…….so sad about this decision. PLEASE PLEASE RECONSIDER!!!
I am saddened at the news that Paradise’s third season won’t be happening. What a wonderful series of a different time period that I so enjoyed. Can’t you reconsider?!
Please sir! Can we have some more! Just finished series two!
Please also make room for The Paradise season 3. I like Abbey but I don’t want one continuously rammed down my throat at the expense of another. Why not conduct an opinion poll among pbs supporters?
Please–please– broadcast all the series. I love Paradise!
Sad. I really looked forward to it each week. It was a good show.
I loved this series! I would reconsider! At least shoot a ending!
Quality television with a huge following. Why would you not bring it back? Reconsider, please.
