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 need the third season please, please.
Good Show. Havent seen season 2 yet. I think good enough for more shows.
I have seen season 2 and loved it! It definitely needs a third season!
This is a great series I’m saddened that it was canceled. How do we get it back
We need more of The paradise was so good hard to not watch it all at one time please bring it back
I watched both seasons on amazon and had to discipline myself not to watch them all in one sitting! I was so disappointed when I watched the last episode if season 2 and there wasn’t another to come immediately after.
Now to learn of its demise is even worse!! Must go down my sorrows now
I have watched both seasons of The Paradise and loved it. Am watching it for a second time, but it only shows to the 8th episode in the second season. I’m watching on Prime.
I watched it and it had 12 episodes on prime. Loved it! Want it back!
Read the book. It is better.
Enjoyed this program as much or more than Downtown. Loved the characters and the quality of the production. Sad and disappointed there won’t be more of this well produced and well acted series.
Teadcthe book, it is even better.
Yes and have really enjoyed such show. Why do great shows cancel?
Please bring back a season 3 of The Paradise! It was so engaging!!!
Read the book. It is better.
I very much enjoyed watching The Paradise. So sorry to learn that it will not be renewed for a third season.
So sad there will not be a season 3. I love this show and felt there was still so much story left to tell!!
I binge watched The Paradise and was disappointed to hear there would not be a Season 3. This also occurred with Lark Rise to Candleford, after several seasons without a proper end to it. The BBC will no longer be a channel of choice as I no longer care to make an investment, on a series, only to have the rug pulled without warning; very upsetting.
I agree bring it back won’t be watching any more of your dramas am devistated
