LOS ANGELES — From Hulu comes a new original drama series, “Paradise,” starring Sterling K. Brown, James Marsden, and Julianne Nicholson.

The new series marks the reunion of Brown and “This Is Us” creator Dan Fogelman, with a drastically different tone between the two projects.

Hulu describes the show as “set in a serene and affluent community inhabited by some of the world’s most prominent individuals. But this tranquility explodes when a shocking murder occurs and a high-stakes investigation unfolds.”

According to the trailer, Agent Xavier Collins (Brown) is the last person to see President Cal Bradford (Marsden) alive. As the prime suspect in a presidential murder, Collins takes a polygraph test, recounting the day and morning he discovered the body.

Flashback and it’s revealed that before his death, the President entrusted Collins with “secret national security information”, personally clearing it at the highest level. “You’re going to want to hear this,” says Nicholson’s character, before a montage of chaos ensues.

Back to the polygraph test, Collins is asked “Is there a part of you happy that Cal is dead?” The camera pans down to the hand of the interviewer (Sarah Shahi) and says “SAY YES”.

The trailer ends before we hear Collins respond.

“Paradise” will launch with a three-episode premiere on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, on Hulu.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Hulu and this ABC station.
