“Paradise” scored a big ratings win with its Season 1 finale. The Sterling K. Brown-led drama series snagged 6.3 million views worldwide, based internal data accounting for seven days of streaming across Hulu and Disney+ in international markets.
The series premiere of the Dan Fogelman series has also reached 17.6 million global views since its premiere on January 26, a 151% increase from when it first reported viewership. Disney defines a view as total stream time divided by runtime.
The milestone comes on the heels of “Paradise” being renewed for a second season last month. The show has continuously held a top spot on the Hulu Top 15 Today list since its premiere.
Per the logline, Brown stars as Agent Xavier Collins, whose life is turned upside down when President Cal Bradford (James Marsden) is found dead. Of course, the twist is that Collins, Bradford and around 25,000 other people are — so they believe — the only survivors of a global apocalypse, and their quaint, prosperous little community is actually a high tech shelter deep under a Colorado mountain. And Bradford’s murder might somehow be connected to whatever’s left on the surface.
In addition to Brown and Marsden, the series’ cast includes Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Aliyah Mastin and Percy Daggs IV.
Fogelman and Brown executive produce “Paradise” alongside John Requa, Glenn Ficarra, John Hoberg, Jess Rosenthal and Steve Beers.
