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?
Every time not happy that the 3rd season is not not being made. Please I would love to have it back. Tell me how to get that done
As another poster stated I found Series 1 and Series 2 episodes on Netflix. I was so happy to have found it on Netflix. I was first able to watch Series 1 on PBS here in the U.S. I found a couple of the Series 2 episodes online. Then finally I was so happy to find it on Netflix and watch both Series back-to-back. I’ve been binge watching it for two weeks since I found it on Netflix. I love watching Series 1, episode 6 over and over again, where Denise finally tells Moray she loves him. How can they… Read more »
You can get the book in translation. It actually has more characters and explains relationships better.
I’m very sorry to hear that this TV show has been cancelled. It has a strong message to young women … strength, courage, and the importance of support from other women. We need more movies with women being empowered – thank you for these 2 Seasons. Please come back. Very disappointed to not have a continuing Season 3++
I thought Paradise was a good show, and was looking forward to seeing more.
I love this show, who in their right mind cancelled it???? Doesn’t anyone ask the public for thier opinion? I would watch season3, 4, and more! This happens all the time, you find a show you like and they cancel it, so frustrating. There are a ton of crappy shows, they seem to be in endless supply.
Just watched the two seasons and loved it. So disappointed that it was cancelled
I thoroughly enjoyed the first two seasons and am very sad and disappointed I will not be able to see a third.
I’m disappointed too Gayle. I found it on Netflix and wish there were more series. It would be great if they brought it back.
Please please please bring back The Paradise!! I love this beautiful love story!! That can’t be the end!! Why do all the good things get cancelled? I guess it was too clean? That’s a shame.
Is there a way wecan read the ending of this amazing drama. Either in a book . or something i will gladly paid to read the next season 3. Im sure i was not the only one with this request.
I am so disappointed that The Paradise has not been renewed for more seasons. Really enjoyed watching it!
can’t believe in this day and age you can’t support TWO SUCCESSFUL productions … makes no sense ….PARADISE is successful and is what many producers dream for …. they usually eliminate losers not wimmers
I would LOVE to see the return of The Paradise.
My husband and I don’t watch many of the same TV shows. What a delight to find a classy series like ‘The Paradise’ that we both thoroughly enjoy and look forward to watching together. I don’t suffer fools gladly and BBC I must say you are foolish indeed for having let this wonderful programming come to an early demise. What does it matter adding my opinion when the many numerous comments to bring back The Paradise have fallen on deaf ears. Kathleen (A very disappointed Canadian fan of this spellbinding shortlived series that managed to entertain us without violence and… Read more »
Please don’t cancel the Paradise. It is a great tv drama.
There have been so many comments imploring you to bring back The Paradise,
And I’m still hoping that you will. I would even write a third season and beyond.
It is beautiful to look at and the love story between Denise and John Moray is so refreshing. To lose it all for love. Please listen to your audience!
