The "This Is Us" showrunner spoke with IndieWire about his new Hulu thriller and reuniting with Sterling K. Brown (spoiler: "He's the best.")

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.

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.
