Sterling K. Brown Stars as a Secret Service Agent Caught in a Presidential Conspiracy in New Political Thriller "Paradise" From the Producers of 'This Is Us' — Streaming January 28 on Hulu
The one person who would know all the secrets of the U.S. president is the person by his/her side at all times. Someone whose job is to be with the president but also to remain in the shadows, never drawing too much attention. This new Hulu series imagines that person as the president's personal bodyguard. And if anything terrible were to happen, that person would be the perfect patsy.
Paradise, a new eight-episode political murder-mystery thriller, reunites Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown with television creator Dan Fogelman and executive producers John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, the same team behind the hit family drama series This Is Us. This time, however, the show is nothing like its tear-jerking predecessor. Instead, it's a taut conspiracy thriller where it seems Sterling K. Brown's Secret Service agent character is being set up for reasons he doesn't yet understand.
Also starring Julianne Nicholson (Mare of Easttown), Sarah Shahi (Sex/Life), Nicole Brydon Bloom (The Gilded Age), newcomer Aliyah Mastin, and Percy Daggs IV (Never Let Go), with James Marsden (Sonic the Hedgehog and X-Men franchises) playing the young, charismatic U.S. president, the series revolves around an onion-layered conspiracy that begins to unravel upon the shocking news of the president's mysterious death.
Sterling K. Brown plays Xavier Collins, a decorated Secret Service agent and father of two. His life takes a dramatic turn when he’s assigned as the personal bodyguard to the U.S. president (Marsden). In this top-level position, he is entrusted with the country’s most sensitive national security secrets. But when the president is found dead in his bedroom and Xavier is the last person to see him alive, he finds himself at the center of a complex investigation. Did he commit the crime? Was he part of a secret conspiracy? Or is he simply the victim of a government cover-up? The question is, can he find the truth without putting himself or his children in danger?
Paradise debuts on Hulu and Hulu on Disney + starting on Tuesday, January 28th.
Malachi Kirby and Stephen Graham Enter the Ring in Steven Knight’s Gritty Victorian Boxing Drama "A Thousand Blows" with Erin Doherty — Streaming February 21 on Hulu
Prolific writer Steven Knight continues to churn out more TV shows than we can count. The creator of Peaky Blinders, who recently created the FX spy thriller The Veil, the BBC 80s ska-band coming-of-age series This Town, and just wrapped the second season of the WWII action thriller SAS: Rogue Heroes, has a new show coming out next month on Hulu.
Did we mention that Knight also wrote Pablo Larrain's Maria Callas Netflix biopic starring Angelina Jolie, and penned the upcoming Peaky Blinders continuation movie The Immortal Man with Cillian Murphy? Knight is also rumored to be working on a potential new Star Wars film or trilogy. Where does he find the time?
In this new Hulu series A Thousand Blows, Knight once again explores the seedy criminal underbelly of London. But this time, it's London's East End in the 1880s. The backdrop is the gritty, grimy world of Victorian boxing, where bets flow as freely as the blood spilling from fighters' mouths.
Malachi Kirby, known for Small Axe: Mangrove, stars as Hezekiah, a Jamaican immigrant who arrives in England with his friend (Francis Lovehall). The two hope to build a new life for themselves but are quickly drawn into the dangerous world of backyard boxing. Hezekiah soon partners with a notorious "Forty Elephant" thief, played by Erin Doherty (The Crown), as they devise a plan to conquer the boxing scene. But to do so, Hezekiah must eventually face Sugar Goodson (Stephen Graham, of Boardwalk Empire and Peaky Blinders fame), the baddest and toughest boxer in all of London — and he's not giving up his title for anyone.
A Thousand Blows will start streaming on February 21st on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
