The second season of the hit Emmy-nominated sci-fi political thriller Paradise has landed on Hulu, and it is already the second most-watched title on the platform, according to streaming data collection website FlixPatrol. Starring Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Sarah Shahi, James Marsden and more, Paradise is set in an underground bunker in a post-apocalyptic world, where the mysterious murder of the president of the United States, Cal Bradford (Marsden), is being investigated by US Secret Service agent Xavier Collins (Brown).

It is also expanding the role of another character, the late president’s rebellious young son, Jeremy Bradford (played by Charlie Evans), who is determined to “blow the f***in’ doors [of the bunker] open”, as Jeremy says in the show.

Evans was born on January 1, 2004. He hails from Byron Bay, Australia, but has lived in Los Angeles since he was 10. “America takes some adjustment for a kid from the rainforest in Australia,” he told culture magazine Numéro Netherlands, explaining, “It’s competitive here, and you need to work hard, but it’s always a privilege to experience a new culture and learn another way of seeing and being in the world.”

Evans’ parents are musicians, and he grew up being influenced by their work ethic. “My parents are both very creative and surrounded me with instruments and books from the day I was born,” he recalled to Numéro Netherlands.
