‘Paradise’ Adds Raymond Cham Jr. to Season 2 Cast (Exclusive) (2025)

Hulu’s Paradise is continuing to build out its post-apocalyptic world.

The drama from creator Dan Fogelman has added Raymond Cham Jr. (Max’s Sort Of) to its cast, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. He’s one of several new additions to the Paradise ensemble for the coming season, joining Shailene Woodley and Thomas Doherty.

As with most things about season two, details about Cham’s character are being kept quiet for now. Cham will have a recurring role. Paradise is in production on season two, though Hulu hasn’t set a premiere date yet.

Paradise is set in a seemingly idyllic community where a Secret Service agent (Sterling K. Brown) is posted to keep watch over a former president of the United States (James Marsden). The show’s first season (spoilers ahead), however, kicked off with the murder of the president and the revelation that the city is actually a huge, underground bunker holding some of what’s left of humanity after a massive, planet-altering natural disaster. Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi,Jon Beavers, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Krys Marshall, Charlie Evans, AliyahMastin, Percy Daggs IV and Enuka Okuma also starred in the first season.

Hulu renewed Paradise for a second season in February. Fogelman (This Is Us) told THR after the first-season finale that he has a “very precise three-year plan [for the show], and this next season coming is kind of the middle episode of our trilogy with also its own beginning, middle and end.”

Along with Sort Of, Cham’s credits include The Idea of You, Fox’s The Big Leap and guest roles on Watson and Chicago Med. He is repped by Buchwald.
