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.

The Sterling K. Brown-starring political thriller is not what it seems. "There are a lot things in the ether right now that are in this show," says Fogelman.
