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 you make more seasons, I love this show.
Please bring back the Paradise. Thank God Mr. Selfridge is over! Maybe now you can bring a really great program back. Has Downton Abbey potential!!!
Please let it be a season 3!!!!!! 🙁
Love watching Moray!!!! Beautiful story…
I loved it. How can you do this to such a fantastic lovestory??. Please rethink….come back.
Paradise was such a great series I never missed it. Now that Me Selfridge is over please bring it back. It was one of your best. Please don’t be like the other channels and axe such a wonderful story.
I am sad to see that there is not a season 3 for the Paradise. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching all of the episodes. It is so hard to find a good, well-acted meaningful movie. So after trying a number of movies, I would return to an episode of the Paradise, as I knew I would enjoy it. Now I don’t have any more to turn to!
ai enjoyed this program on many levels. laovedseeing all the beautiful costumes and a program that didn’t have BLATANT sex thrown in onr’s face every twenty seconda but subtely puttig it in almost every scene. I am sad it will be no more
It is a Shame that paradise is cancelled, due it is a great production, is not understandable to start something and not conclude it
Something well done has to end well and not finish just for a new bet
This is not matture
The best show I ever watched , I LOVE The paradise, It’s so sad There comes no season 3!! I watch it on netflix, I could’nt believe there will be no season 3. Please bring Back THE PARADISE!! Maybe you can make a deal with Netfix… !? I’m gonna miss this show so much!
I was so drawn in to this series !! Love the cast . So sorry to see it go
I am so sorry to hear this….the paradise was a great series. Please bring it back
I loved this series the passion between Denise and morai is so exciting, it would b so sad to not go on with a season 3,4,5 please ! We need shows like this to watch. I want to see them get married,have kids etc
My wife and I are deeply saddened by this news. For the sake of keeping your audience, you may wish to consider.
I love the series, I am incredibly disappointed. It was my favorite.
Disppointed there isn’t a season 3 of the Paradise, enjoyed watching it more than Mr. Selfridge, loved the department store drama, and the story of Denise making her way in a time period which was hard for women.
