Paradise just introduced a possible time travel twist with Link potentially being exposed as Sinatra’s deceased son Danny.
During the Monday, March 23, episode of the hit Hulu series, Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson) met with Link (Thomas Doherty) and accidentally caught wind of his real name: Danny. She found out that their birthdays match as well, which made Sinatra even much sure that her son was actually alive.
“I think this season it goes so much deeper in understanding that the world is so much bigger than what we understand it to be on the day-to-day and the idea of quantum physics and different timelines happening at the same time, and people coming into our lives at different times,” Nicholson told TV Insider. “When you think you’re deep, go deeper.”
Paradise, which premiered in January 2025, initially appeared to be set in a serene and wealthy community forced to face the realities of a shocking murder. But Dan Fogelman‘s political thriller featured a twist when Paradise was revealed to be an underground bunker housing the world’s most prominent individuals after an apocalyptic event destroyed the rest of humanity.
The cast previously spoke to Us about how they kept the show a secret before its premiere.
“The biggest lengths [we had to go through to keep the twist secret] are happening now when we’re actually talking to people about it,” Nicholson shared at the time. “When we were on set, everybody knows what’s up, so we don’t have to be that secretive.”
She continued: “But now the trick is how do you grab people’s attention and assure them that this is something different without giving away any of the details? But we’re very excited for people to get on the ride with us.”
Ahead of the show’s return, Sarah Shahi promised that Paradise fans can look forward to more onscreen twists and turns.
“It is a roller-coaster ride. [Creator Dan Fogelman] is just so good at taking the audience and pulling the rug out from underneath them,” she told Us in January. “Just when you think you know what’s happening, [something surprising happens], and then you’re like, ‘Oh, my God. I didn’t even see that coming.’”
Shailene Woodley‘s character on Paradise was shrouded in mystery — until the season 2 premiere revealed a pregnancy twist and a shocking death. The Hulu show returned for its sophomore season on Monday, February 23, where Woodley’s Annie was the focus of the premiere episode. Before the doomsday event, Annie had a tough childhood looking […]
In addition to Brown, Nicholson and Shahi, the show also stars Nicole Brydon Bloom, Aliyah Mastin, Percy Daggs IV, Jon Beavers, Krys Marshall, Gerald McRaney and Enuka Okuma.
Brown, 49, who is also an executive producer on the show, recently reflected on holding onto so many secrets about the show.
“I like knowing [what will happen on my projects]. But I feel like it’s a question you only ask in TV. Because if you’re doing a film or play, you know the beginning, the middle and the end,” he noted to Us earlier this month. “The idea that you don’t have to know or have it spoiled for you … it is also like I get a chance to help craft the arc of where it ultimately goes to. So I don’t mind knowing.”
New episodes of Paradise air Mondays on Hulu.
