Emmy-winning actress Julianna Margulies has joined the recurring cast of Hulu's post-apocalyptic drama "Paradise" for its third and final season, adding star power to the series as production gets underway.

The news comes ahead of the show's planned conclusion, following its renewal in March. Created by Dan Fogelman, "Paradise" centers on a secluded Colorado community housing some of the world's most influential figures in the aftermath of a global catastrophe. Sterling K. Brown stars as Xavier, a resident whose life unravels when a murder disrupts the enclave's fragile peace, sparking a tense investigation. In the second season, Xavier ventures outside the bunker for the first time in three years to search for his wife, Teri, portrayed by Enuka Okuma, after learning of survivors beyond its walls. He encounters scattered groups navigating the ruined world, while back in the community, residents confront fractured alliances and emerging secrets about the bunker's origins.

The season two finale, which aired on March 30, drew 4.3 million global views across Disney and Hulu in its first three days, a 35 percent increase from the premiere and the series' strongest audience to date....
