Created and written by Rodes Fishburne (Blood & Oil), Paradise Lost is about a psychiatrist (Regan) who moves with her family from California to her husband’s (Hartnett) hometown in Mississippi only to uncover shameful secrets that irrevocably change the lives of everyone involved.
“Paradise Lost is a complex, compelling series full of incredible characters, including the small town in Mississippi where it is set,” said Keith Cox, President, Development and Production, Paramount Network and TV Land. “We’re excited to see John Lee Hancock bring this incredible world to life, building on the vision that Rodes Fishburne and Arika Lisanne Mittman have so vividly created.”
Paradise Lost fits into Paramount Network’s programming strategy for cinematic series with great storytelling and complex, nuanced characters where the setting is almost a prime character, as laid out recently by Kent Alterman, President of Comedy Central, Paramount Network, and TV Land.
