As Season 1 of Hulu’s “ Paradise ” came to an end, showrunner Dan Fogelman alerted his co-music supervisors, Tom Wolfe and Manish Raval, that Graceland was going to be featured in the new season.

The dystopian show’s sophomore season kicks off in Memphis, Tennessee, long before the extinction-level event that would eventually level the planet. Viewers are given a glimpse into the life of Annie Clay (an exceptional Shailene Woodley). After spending her childhood as a caretaker for her mentally unwell mother, Annie perseveres, getting to her third year of medical school before a mental breakdown forces her to withdraw. Floundering and distraught, she takes a job giving tours at Graceland (Yes, Elvis Presley’s sprawling mansion) and befriends Gayle (Angel Laketa Moore), one of the property’s security guards. Annie and Gayle are together at Graceland the day a black cloud blankets the world.
