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 have not watched television for 2 decades (and I’m not that old!), and if it were not for Downton Abbey, The Paradise and This is Us I would still not be watching tv. Please reconsider doing a season 3 and beyond if possible. There is so much filth being dished out in the name of entertainment. The Paradise promotes beauty and grace and is life giving. Don’t cancel t!!!
I am so sorry there won’t be a third season. quality television is clearly lacking these days and there are many like myself that choose not to watch the standard networks. A third season would be wonderful to “wrap up” the character’s lives.
Just when the second season got really good you left the fans just hanging! Shows like The Paradise are hard to find! Wish you would have at least made a 3rd season. This is my go-to show and I’ve seen both seasons maybe 100 times..it just never gets old! I love playing it on my iPad as I get ready in the morning. We need more TV like The Paradise!
I am very sad to see that there are no more seasons. I hope that in the future more seasons would be added. I personally love the show and looked forward to seeing more. I’d appreciate the making of more seasons to be considered. The Paradise was one of the best shows I’ve watched. It is appropriate for the whole family which is another benefit. Thanks for taking my response in consideration.
So sad they cancelled this great program. It was a quality show and I pray they decide to resume it sometime.
I just found this show and love it. Why was it cancelled. They had to make room for what? You really can’t handle this and whatever garbage it was cancelled for? What a shame you don’t have as much character as the show has. Sham on you.
love this show! why was it cancelled??????
I’m hoping for a 3rd season and MORE……love this show
I loved this show and sincerely hoping for a 3rd season,……
I absolutely love this show, it needs a third series and more. I haven’t been into a show this good in a long time. It’s so clean
What a beautiful series! Mr. Selfridge didn’t hold a candle to it’s sincere & heartfelt story & didn’t hold my interest past the second program. Now that it & Downton Abbey are behind us PLEASE reconsider followups to the lovely saga of ‘The Paradise’. You have left us only to imagine the love story of Denise & Moray. It could be right up there in ratings with the fan base of Downton Abbey I’m sure & be counted a classic, too.
I have fallen in love with the show. Its so amazing to see this powerful woman come out from the shadows to start her own adventure. I watched this with my daughters to inspire them. I watched both seasons on Netflix and wish the third season would come and maybe be a Netflix original series. Such a wonderful story and has so much room to grow and play off. Love it wish I could see Dinease mary Moray and Katheran have a baby with husband. Oh I just hate that there is not a 3rd season or a movie to… Read more »
Please reconsider and give us more of The Paradise. I’ve been bewitched and I’m addicted to the show. I need more
I loved it and I want more.
I love period dramas. Please reconsider season 3. It’s a very popular show.
