The “Paradise” season two trailer has finally arrived!

Season one of the Hulu drama followed Xavier Collins, played by Sterling K. Brown, a Secret Service Agent living in an underground bunker after some sort of post-apocalyptic event, who finds the president, Cal Bradford, dead.

The first season ended with Xavier realizing his wife may still be alive and setting off via airplane to find her. The “Paradise” season 2 trailer promises to pick up where season one left off, with Xavier surviving a plane crash.

From there, he tells a newly-introduced character he’s spent the last three years in an underground bunker, which he describes as being “like before, only creepier.” This character seems to assist Xavier in his search for his wife, as the two are seen on a journey with a voiceover of Xavier saying, “Let’s go get my wife.”

Another new character, Link, is introduced in the trailer. Link is a bike gang leader that teases something potentially sinister about the bunker, saying, “There’s something that nobody knows about, something dangerous.”

“Paradise” season two will feature a star-studded cast. Brown, James Marsden, and Julianne Nicholson, all of whom received Emmy nominations for their performances, will all be returning. Fans can also expect to meet a new character, played by Shailene Woodley, although specifics, including the character’s name, have not yet been released. Thomas Doherty, who was most recently seen in another Hulu original, “Tell Me Lies,” will take on the role of Link.
