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?
You can read the book, “The Ladies’ Paradise by Émile Zola (in translation). The series ended because some of the people quit.
Please bring The Paradise back. I really enjoyed this show. The show was so refreshing! Excellent acting! Why does a network pull a show like this? I hate when I get into shows and excited for the next season, only to find out, it has been canceled! Very disappointing!
I am very disappointed that there won’t be more seasons of THE PARADISE . Very well done production, beautiful settings and clothes. The store interiors were a dream. The actors well cast, the story interesting..
I am a big fan of the show and have already seen it 3 times, from beginning to end. Very disappointed that you decided to cancel season 3! The show has an abrupt, though happy end, but leaves the viewer wanting for more. It is simply incomplete without another season. Please reconsider!
You can get the book, the ladies’ paradise by zola. Some of the creative people quit the show. That is the reason it ended.
Season 3 please. Love Katherine
Nooo we need a season 3!!!
I am so sad that is being cancelled! I love the series! A movie is a great idea!!
So disappointed this was cancelled. I know it is business to bring on new shows but why is always the good ones that have to go? I hope you will at least consider making a movie so loose ends can be tied up and we can get our happily ever after with Denise and Moray. The world could use a happy ending right about now.
Yes, we are so sad that there won’t be many more seasons of Paradise! We have enjoyed Seasons 1 & 2 very much! Please reconsider and keep this show going!
Oh no! I just finished Season 2…it never crossed my mind that there wouldn’t be a Season 3! Why why why?!?
Very unhappy that you cancelled paradise iy was a wonderful show. Please please make season 3
So sad no more seasons as i loved the show. Please do another season
There needs to be a other season I love this show
I can’t believe it didn’t go on. Loved every episode. What’s up with you guys. We want more
I love this show! I really wanted to see Morray and Denise get married etc. Super sad…
I am extremely unhappy to learn that there will not be another season. I love this show.
Read the book. It is even better and cannot be cancelled!
