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 was looking forward to season 3. Disappointed it won’t be on.
I have been beyond excited to see Season 3 start. Please bring back The Paradise. It is a GREAT loss for you and your viewers!
please bring back The paradise. I love Denise and Monray
I have been anxiously waiting for this show to return and am so upset to learn that it has been cancelled!!!!!!! I watch most shows on Masterpiece and this one was definitely one of my favorites even more than Mr. Selfridge. Can’t you bring it back now that Selfridge is going away?
Yes, I would definitely watch season two. My dad told me about this amazing series and I started watching it not knowing season two was not air yet, alone cancelled. Please, air season two for us who are so curious how the story plays out.
I would like to see season 2 of the Paradise. I enjoyed it more than Mr. Selfridge.
Hey it’s on Netflix if you have it 🙂
The Paradise is far superior to Ne.Selfidge and I am very disappointed to find out it is not returning.
That sad they cancelled the paradise love the show I have bought the DVDs and watch them over and over I was looking forward to see number 3 bring it back
Please bring back the paradise. Once mr selfridge meets the dolly sisters it goes downhill from there. I would rather watch the rise of the paradise.
Come On! The Paradise is a great, engaging story. There is plenty of garbage out there that should be canceled, not The Paradise. Bring it back for another season!
I am SO SORRY that The Paradise has stopped!!! I looked forward to the next episode all week!!! Please, Please, Please bring it back to PBS ASAP!!!!
What a shame! My daughter and I LOVED “The Paradise”! Wish it would come back!
Please, please bring back The Paradise. I love, love, loved it
Can season 3 be viewed in The UK
One of THE BEST shows I’ve ever watched. We need another series…please!
