Paradise is a 2025 American sci-fi thriller series created by Dan Fogelman, set in a serene, wealthy community that is home to some of the world's most prominent people — until a shocking murder shatters the calm and pulls one Secret Service agent into a high-stakes investigation.
What is Paradise about?
In a picture-perfect town where everything seems orderly, safe, and carefully arranged, some of the most powerful people in the world live side by side. That calm breaks the morning a Secret Service agent finds the President he is sworn to protect dead in his own home. As the last person to see him alive, the agent quickly becomes both investigator and suspect. His search for the truth leads him through the guarded institutions, private loyalties, and morally compromised figures that keep this community running — forcing him to confront what he is willing to do, and who he can still trust, as it becomes clear that nothing about this place is quite what it seems.
About the cast
Creator Dan Fogelman, best known for the family drama This Is Us, reunites here with that show's star Sterling K. Brown, who carries the emotional weight of the series as Secret Service agent Xavier Collins. James Marsden plays President Cal Bradford, while Julianne Nicholson brings gravitas as Samantha Redmond, a powerful figure at the heart of the community. Sarah Shahi and Nicole Brydon Bloom round out a cast that makes this speculative world feel uncomfortably plausible.
Context & significance
American television has a long tradition of the conspiracy thriller wrapped around a single murder, and Paradise fits squarely in that tradition while adding a speculative, sci-fi edge. For Persian-speaking diaspora viewers there is an extra point of interest: Sarah Shahi, who plays therapist Gabriela Torabi, is an American actor of Iranian heritage. The show's themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the lengths people go to protect their families carry particular weight for anyone who has rebuilt a life far from home. The series is available with full Persian dubbing, so viewers can follow every twist in their native language without missing any emotional nuance.
