We sort of peel back the layers of the onion of the motivations of this woman, and it not just being about power, but about family, her connection to her son, a desire to put the world back. And the fact that she was willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Will the audience agree? &#8220;We&#8217;ll see,&#8221; Brown says with a laugh, adding, &#8220;This is sort of like Miguel on <em>This Is Us<\/em>.\u00a0People are like, &#8216;Nah. No to Miguel.&#8217; But some people at the end were like, &#8216;Yeah, okay.&#8217; I&#8217;m curious to see how our audience feels about the sacrifice that Sinatra makes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As for what awaits in season 3, which will likely be the end of what Fogelman has always pitched as a three-season show, Brown says, &#8220;We&#8217;re moving toward an end point, and I think the audience feels that momentum. He could do something absolutely bonkers with season 3, and at this point, I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Yeah, I&#8217;m in.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><em>Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with\u00a0our\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/ew-dispatch-newsletter-11812417\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:EW Dispatch newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;EW Dispatch newsletter&quot;}\" class=\"link \">EW Dispatch newsletter<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Paradise\u00a0<\/em>is available now on Hulu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the original article on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/paradise-sterling-k-brown-sinatra-like-miguel-this-is-us-11938172\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Weekly;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Entertainment Weekly&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article contains spoilers from the\u00a0Paradise\u00a0season 2 finale, &#8220;Exodus.&#8221; At the end of Paradise&#8216;s second season, Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson) sacrificed herself to save everyone in the bunker.
