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?
Very much enjoying the show. Just finished the first eight episodes and wonder when we will get the next season. Sorry to see it end.
Please put this show back on PBS! We love it. Also when will Season 2 be on Netflix?
I am so upset that The Paradise was cancelled. I loved it and have been waiting so long to see Season 2. I agree with everyone else, that it’s better than Selfridges. Please listen to these comments and reconsider bringing it back.
I finally find a show I love, and it gets cancelled! I am so disappointed. I love PBS, but I really don’t understand how a show this good won’t continue.
THE PARADISE need more SERIES. This is a great show. Bring Season 3.
I am incredibly disappointed. I have checked numerous times to find out when season three would begin! Please consider creating another season . The unlikely romance that was beginning , was a cliffhanger for the next season. You can’t leave the viewers wondering!
K.A.
I truly loved watching this show! Please reconsider!
We love it !!!!!!
Want it BACK
Loved The Paradise–quite different from Mr. Selfridge except for the origins-of-department-stores setting. Right now I’m trying to find when Series Two will air in the U S and was so hoping an announcement of a Series Three in the works. So disappointed in the cancellation after a second round. . . .
Hi Deb,
The second series of The Paradise will be airing in the US in September. PBS
had made an announcement a few weeks ago about this. Check out the PBS
fall line up, it should have it on there.
Also, I hope you signed the petition to get a series three! Visit the Save The Paradise facebook page & help with the campaign to bring this great series back for more. Share with all you family & friends, we need many more signatures!! Thanks!
We love it !!!!!!
The Paradise is so much better than Selfridges! It’s hard to believe that PBS would not renew it! So I will not renew my membership this year.

Best show I’ve seen for a long time. Please bring it back for another season.
I loved the Paradise, much better than Mr. Selfridge! Please bring it back!
No Paradise, but further seasons of Mr. Selfridge. I’ve watched both these shows, & The Paradise is by far the better one. Wish they’d reconsider….
Agree with other comments.The Paradise should have a Season 3 & more. It was great show.
