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?
Read the book! “The Ladies’ Paradise” by Émile Zola. It is translated and has more characters and is even more interesting.
Please bring this show back! It was so good! I was so excited to see more of the paradise with Denise and John finally together. LOVED THIS DRAMA!
Wow….this epic show was amazing. I was so taken by the script, the characters and the scenery….and than you just closed the door.
So sad this series has been cancelled. I love the intrigue and the characters in this series, and I know it has quite the audience to support another season to quench out thirst.
Can the paradise continue as a graphic novel??
Read the original book. Note characters and more interesting. “The Ladies Paradise” by Émile Zola. It is translated.
I am so sad and disappointed that this finely acted series has been cancelled. There are such few good quality shows out there and The Paradise was top notch in every way. It had all the elements needed to be a successful, long term show: wholesomeness, great story line, excellent acting and cast, exceptional writing, thought and emotion provoking, and most of all, it left you wanting more after every episode. What a shame it was cancelled. Perhaps that decision could be reversed?
So tired of watching these great shows and having them cancelled. Makes me not want to watch another one.
I’m so pissed just when you find a great series they take it off I’m so sick of this just finished season 2 of paradise and loved it . Now I’m sure they will replace it with some stupid reality show !
So annoying that there isn’t a third season.
So sorry there isn’t a third
Season…..
.
Absolutely love The Paradise!
Please reconsider renewing this series.
It is delightful! My family and friends have continued watching it over and over as it is so rich in all aspects.
I was so sorry to hear they didn’t make more than 2 seasons of The Paradise. I absolutely love these types of period shows. I binged watch the 2 seasons in 2 1/2 days.
Really loved the Paradise. Definitely binged it! I was really hoping for a Season3 and was so disappointed to hear that it was canceled!!
Sure wish it would come back. Enjoy the characters.
I completely agree. You find a good show and get into the characters and it gets cancelled. Who makes these decisions? They must not be asking the TV watchers.
Love love love The Paradise. So disappointed to hear there will be no more episodes. Finally find a good show after watching & rewatching the more popular Sherlock, death in paradise shows. Not much to watch as these shows been on for quite along time.
Why are all the good ones cancelled? Home Fires. Now
The Paradise. So sad
Wish it had continued, great show and would watch many more seasons.
