The latest casting addition is Brown’s own real-life wife, Ryan Michelle Bathé, who will appear in a guest role, according to Variety. Details about her character remain under wraps at this time.
What will happen in Paradise Season 2?
As viewers saw in Season 1, the story follows Brown’s Xavier Collins, a former special agent who once protected President Cal Bradford (James Marsden) when a select group of individuals moved into an underground bunker amid a global catastrophe. Following Cal’s death and the investigation surrounding it, Xavier discovered there was a chance his wife may have survived the catastrophe that drove him and others underground.
When we spoke to Brown about the potential future of the show, he noted that Fogelman had a clear plan for Season 2 and a possible third season. “In Season 2, the idea is to explore what happened to the rest of the world,” Brown said at the time. As viewers will recall, Xavier set out on a plane to search for his wife, exiting the safety of the bunker.
