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?
Wow, I am sorry that there won’t be a Season Three! It was so beautifully done and the acting was superb. You just rarely find such a gem anymore. I think it was a bad decision.
I agree.
The Paradise was such a delicious escape! Even my husband loved it! Please, please bring it back!
Please bring back The Paradise. It is so refreshing and i thoroughly enjoy these period series. Its a shame that the networks will not follow throgh with a good thing when they have it in front of them.
Omg! I recently started watching The Paradise. Somsaddenmtheremwould not be a,conclusion to this serie. It is a lack os respect for the audience. It should return and at least gives us. Final chapters
My husband and I truly enjoyed The Paradise and would love to see it return to television!
Please talk to the BBC and tell them that this was so very much better than Selfridge or Downton Abbey. Everyone wanted to see what happened to Denise and Moray. They were real people with good and not so good qualities.
What a letdown. It could still be revived telling the story of them being married and having children. So even if the actors have aged they would fit the parts.
Thank you Kathleen
Finally something worth watching. Why do good things always come to an end?
Please reconsider continuing The Paradise
Finally something worth watching that’s not smutty and it’s cancelled. Why do good things have to come to an end. Please reconsider.
finally some good clean viewing….and it gets canceled. Idiots….
I have been binge watching it on Netflix. Love it!
Loved the two seasons of The Paradise. Long for more!
Just recently found it NO! Please more we need more!
You mean to tell me there were only 2 Seasons? I cannot believe this! So disappointed
It doesn’t make any sense to cancel The Paradise and deny fans the delights of the wonderful program. I’m certain that I’m not the only fan grieving the loss of the series.
Loved it wish ther was more, very sad☹️
The Paradise is amazing!! I feel in love with it. Please season 3.
