Sterling K. Brown has high hopes for Thomas Doherty‘s love life after Paradise returns for season 2.
“Speaking for the young ladies, yes, he is single right now, but he probably won’t be before the show is over,” Brown, 49, joked in Us Weekly‘s exclusive clip from his Monday, February 23, interview with Good Morning America coanchor George Stephanopoulos.
The actor called Doherty “fantastic” as Link in season 2, adding, “Shailene [Woodley] is not just an incredible actor, she is also a dear friend. What she does this year on the show is phenomenal — as is Thomas.”
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 This Is Us creator 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.
Hulu’s hit series Paradise is returning after shocking cliffhangers and onscreen deaths — but which stars are and aren’t reprising their roles? This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman‘s political thriller originally premiered in January 2025 under a shroud of mystery.

The cast 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,” Julianne 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.”
The first season ended with the reveal of who killed James Marsden‘s character Cal — after a high stakes investigation that led to several onscreen deaths. The biggest twist though was Xavier (Brown) leaving the bunker to see who survived the end of the world and was still living outside.
The winter TV schedule is overflowing with highly anticipated premieres and returns including Marshals, Bridgerton, Best Medicine and more. Based on Julia Quinn‘s book series, each season of Bridgerton focuses on a different member of the titular family as they attempt to find love in 19th-century London. The hit Netflix show is expected to have […]
Ahead of the show’s return on Monday, 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.’”
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.
Paradise premieres February 23 on Hulu with new episodes every Monday. The rest of Brown’s conversation with Stephanopoulos airs Monday on Good Morning America at 7 a.m. ET.
