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?
The paradise was absolutely wonderful. We need a season 3
I really have enjoyed season one and YES I would watch season 2 in a heartbeat………. 🙂
I’ve watched the first season of The Paradise an I can’t wait to be able to watch the second season. I’m so sorry to hear that they will not carry on with more seasons. I think it’s a wonderful program. Too bad all the crapy shows get renewed and decent ones don’t!!!
I am so sad to hear The Paradise has been cancelled. I really enjoyed season 1 and have been waiting for the next to start. Very sad! If there is no possibility of a season 3, I would still like to see season 2.
I just watched season 1 on netflix & was searching for season 2, it is such good clean entertainment, which is hard to find! I can’t believe they would cancel this show after 2 seasons, they should reconsider!!!!!
Please post the next season!!!! I wanna know what happens! What a great show!
Definitely want Netflix to give us Season 2! This is a great show and should not have been cancelled!
I recently finished watching Season 1 on Netflix. I was looking forward to Season 2 , and then found out it was canceled! What a shame! I thoroughly enjoyed this period piece, and would like BBC to reconsider their decision!
season 2 is on line, you should google the paradise season 2 full episode.
thanks for that tip…thought i might have to buy it from amazon but free is better!
Just completed watching season 1 of The Paradise on Netflix. I was also not aware of the show until I stumbled upon it late one night. I liked it so much that I watched all of Season 1 that very night. I then starting inquiring on Season 2. Season 2 is not available on Netflix nor anywhere online that I could find. I was truly disappointed. I was really looking forward to seeing many more episodes to come. Please bring back the show as it already had a strong following.
I’m deeply sadden that I will not see what will become to paradise. I just found it on Netflix fell in love . I have odd hours . Was not aware of this show. I watch downtown abbey. This show is thrilling and equal to downtown abbey. BBC please return the show. I’m hooked! We can not even see episode two in the states.
I loved the Season one. Can’t wait to see the second one. I can’t understand why they don’t want to do the 3rd one!!!!!!!!!
I just finished watching season one of “The Paradise,” and I have to say, it was a great show. I’d love to see more.
I loved this show, I binge watched first season on Netflix. I’ve got to have more, it was great. I’m really disappointed to hear there was only a second season. I thought surely there would be more.
I love the show and been waiting for it too come back also told all my friends to watch. .I’m very disappointed that it’s canceled i think it’s better than selfridge.
Ugh… PLEASE don’t discontinue – I loved this!!! Just watched season 1 on Netflix and HAVE to see more … Great show, cast, set, costumes … I could go on and on.
