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?
So disappointed, need to have closure! Please bring it back!
Loved Paradise, hopefully I will see more
Just found this on Netflix. Watched them all. Loved it!!! So sad that I won’t be able to see more.
Just found this on Netflix. Loved it!!! So sorry I am not able to see it ongoing
I wish I had known about it when it was on TV! I just found it on Netflix and I am binge watching it now! So sorry to hear there are only 2 seasons!! Wish there were more!!
Can’t believe you have axed The Paradise. Brilliant series . So enjoyed watching it.
With such a high rating among the viewers, I can hardly believe it would be removed from the schedule to “make room” for another show. Fine script and acting!!
Great show. Am very unhappy it’s cancelled. Why is good tv always cancelled. One would think you’d ask viewers if they enjoy before shelving a drama that is so enjoyable. Shame on the all knowing execs!! I also want more of The Paradise!!
Why even play it on Netflix if it only has 2 seasons and there will be no more?
You should make more!!!
I want more seasons of The Paradise.
I’m left smh over why the BBC would cancel after only two seasons. One of the best Victorian era dramas I’ve ever seen.
I’m disappointed The Paradise is cancelled!
I’m having trouble finding a series I enjoy on Sunday evenings through the summer.
I have been binge watching this all weekend. I can’t believe there are only two seasons of The Paradise. Such great acting and story lines!
It is such a pity that there won’t be a third season of this wonderful drama. This is one of the finest series the BBC has produced. I hope you will reconsider and give your loyal viewers at least a conclusion season (more would be better, but trying not to be greedy). Thank you for your consideration.
I’m still hoping that there will be more episodes to this lovely drama.
I loved the subtlety of the story as it played out. So much more believable than the Selfridge thing. The actors were so much better and memorable.
Please reconsider making more episode.
Thank you
