Watch soon as may disappear

The Paradise is a British television costume drama series co-produced by BBC Studios and Masterpiece.[1] The Paradise premiered in the United Kingdom on BBC One on 25 September 2012 and premiered in the United States on PBS on 6 October 2013.[2] The series is an adaptation of Émile Zola's 1883 novel Au Bonheur des Dames that relocates the story to North East England. (Zola's novel itself is a retelling of the story of Aristide Boucicaut, the Bellême-born founder of Le Bon Marché.)[3]

A second series was commissioned by BBC One in late October 2012[4] and was broadcast on 20 October 2013 on BBC One.
