Almost Paradise is a crime drama centered around a former DEA agent, Alex Walker (Christian Kane), who has to retire. He moves to the Philippine island of Cebu and buys a gift shop in a hotel, intending to lead a quiet and less stressful life. Unfortunately, the island's luxury resorts attract wealthy, powerful, and sometimes criminal elites from around the world, often on a collision course with Alex. The first season cast also includes Samantha Richelle, Arthur Acuña, Nonie Buencamino, and Ces Quesada.
The first season began airing on WGN America in 2020, and the cable channel decided not to order a second season. Executive producer Dean Devlin shared plans for another season and said there was hope to bring the series to another channel. In February 2022, it was announced that a second season of Almost Paradise had been ordered by IMDbTV (a FAST channel, also known as Free Ad-Supported Television), which has since been rebranded as Amazon Freevee. The streaming service also brings Kane's other series, Leverage: Redemption.
Now, three years after the last episode of Almost Paradise aired on WGN America, the series is back with ten new episodes.
Season two will premiere on Friday, July 21, with all ten episodes being released on the same day.
Almost Paradise was shot entirely in the Philippines. Electric Entertainment's Marc Roskin and Rachel Olschan-Wilson produce with co-showrunners Devlin and Gary Rosen. Mark Franco co-produces.
Below is a teaser trailer for Almost Paradise season two.
