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?
We loved this show. Please please bring it back!
Downton Abbey and The Paradise are the best! Please bring back The Paradise.
Please bring back The Paradise for Season 3 !
I rarely watch TV but watched all of the episodes on Netflix in very little time.
Disappointed that there will be no season3 . Discovered this show on Netflix and loved it. I watched it in two days and loved every bit of this show. Very clean and engaging not like the other trashy shows out now days. #bringbacktheparadise #bringbackseason3
Oh come on!! The show is just beginning to get good. So many ways this could go. I was hoping that Denise would end up running the store. Not hoping she would follow Clement’s in anyway though
Just watched on Netflix can’t believe no more paradisa
I love this show!!!!! I am so sad it was cancelled and hope dearly that you will consider bringing it back. What a well written show with an amazing cast. I watched the entire first season in one day and am dreading finishing the second season since I know there is no 3rd season. Please bring it back!!!!!!
This show is amazing!!!! I watched the first season on one of my days off and am almost done watching the second season….. I do not want it to end and am very sad that it was cancelled after 2 seasons 🙁 Please please bring it back!!!!!!!
I just watched two seasons and loved it. Good clean show to watch. So disappointed it has been cancelled! Cast was superb and it was a very entertaining story. Please consider more episodes!!!
I LOVE this show! Please bring it back. You all take the good shows off and replace them with bad ones. Whoever cancelled this should be fired!
The Paradise was just as entertaining as Downton Abby….Why on earth was it cancelled? Really a shame as it was very well done. The Casting was superb. The educational accuracy was good and IT WAS A GREAT SHOW!! So sad…Who was in charge of the choice to cancel….big mistake! BRING IT BACK….
At first i did not care to much just clicked on something to watch, but in the end i fell in love with the the story line. After i finished the second season on Netflix, I quickly went to go look for season 3, but sadly found out that it has been cancelled. I truly do hope that it will come back and have many exciting seasons to come. I enjoy the first two and would love to get lost in the characters and the story. i can only wish it will bring season 3,4,5 and on.
I fell in love with the characters and was sad to have the shows stop after two seasons. I felt the show was well written. There’s not a lot of good shows like this one.
The Paradise was a wonderful show. I binge watched it on Netflix andwould love a third season!
The Paradise was a wonderful series. I would love to see it return.
