Sterling K. Brown has reteamed with 'This Is Us' creator Dan Fogelman for 'Paradise,' and once again, he plays a man going through deep family loss and trauma.

The actor and creator tried something much less weepy this time: a sci-fi thriller. Still it was “a homecoming on so many levels,” Brown said.

SPOILER ALERT! This story contains plot points from the first three episodes of Paradise on Hulu. After dropping the first episode of Paradise on Sunday, Hulu has made episodes 2 and 3 of the thriller available to audiences that should have provided a bit more context to that mysterious twist at the end of the pilot.
