For those craving a blend of gritty rock ‘n’ roll drama and a touch of the supernatural, Paradise City delivers exactly that. Released on March 25, 2021, this Amazon Prime Video series is a spinoff of the 2017 film American Satan, continuing the story of The Relentless, a rising rock band entangled in a Faustian bargain. The series is available for streaming in multiple regions, including the UK, bringing its dark, neon-lit portrayal of fame’s underbelly to a global audience.
A City Where Dreams Come True — and Nightmares Begin
Set in Los Angeles, Paradise City pulls back the curtain on the music industry’s darker corners. Frontman Johnny Faust (Andy Biersack) and his bandmates navigate the temptations, betrayals, and supernatural consequences of their rise to stardom. As they struggle with their choices, they cross paths with newcomers and industry veterans, each grappling with their own demons — both figuratively and literally.
A Star-Studded Soundtrack and Cast
Music lovers will appreciate the series’ electrifying soundtrack, featuring both original tracks and hits from the rock and metal world. The title Paradise City itself is a nod to 'Guns N’ Roses' legendary anthem, perfectly encapsulating the show’s rebellious spirit. With performances from real-life rock icons such as Ben Bruce ('Asking Alexandria') and Sid Wilson ('Slipknot'), the show blurs the line between fiction and reality.
Tragically, Paradise City also stands as one of the final performances of actor Cameron Boyce, who passed away in 2019. His role as Simon, a young musician caught in the chaos of the industry, adds an emotional weight to the series, making it even more poignant.

Wondering where to watch? The series is currently available on Amazon Prime Video, making it easily accessible for fans worldwide. Whether you’re in the US, UK, or beyond, you can stream the eight-episode season and immerse yourself in its high-energy performances and gripping drama.
With its raw storytelling, mesmerizing music, and supernatural twists, Paradise City is a must-watch for rock fans and those who love a dark, stylish take on fame’s hidden cost. If you missed its 2021 release, now is the perfect time to dive into its world — just be careful what deals you make along the way.
