Dan Fogelman Wanted 'Paradise' to Offer Viewers a 'Full Meal'
Briefly

The article discusses the significance of Sterling K. Brown's role in Hulu's new series 'Paradise.' Writer Dan Fogelman admits that he felt ready to abandon the project if Brown did not agree to participate. Brown's character, Secret Service Agent Xavier Collins, becomes embroiled in a murder investigation that threatens national stability. The initial episodes suggest deeper layers within the storyline, promising a complex narrative that extends beyond the surface plot.
But if Sterling says no, I might not do it. Sterling called, he said, 'Tell me where it's going.' I told him... and he said, 'I'm in.'
I kind of got to a place where I told my wife, 'If Sterling doesn’t want to do this - which I’m expecting - I think I’m not going to do it.'
I sent it to him and I was actually nervous... my stomach dropped a little bit, like, 'Oh I’ve been really invested in this.'
There’s far more below the surface of 'Paradise' than initially meets the eye.
