Alex Walker is returning for new adventures next month. Amazon Freevee has announced a premiere date for the drama series’ second season.
A crime drama, Almost Paradise revolves around a former DEA agent, Alex Walker (Kane), who’s been forced into retirement. He moves to the Filipino island of Cebu and purchases a hotel gift shop, planning to live a tranquil and less stressful life. Unfortunately, the island’s luxury resorts attract rich, powerful, and sometimes criminal elite from around the world, often on a collision course with Alex. The first season’s cast also includes Samantha Richelle, Arthur Acuña, Nonie Buencamino, and Ces Quesada.
The first season aired on WGN America in 2020, and the cable channel opted not to order a second season. Executive producer Dean Devlin teased plans for another season and said that there were hopes to bring the show to another outlet. In February 2022, it was announced that a second season of Almost Paradise had been ordered by IMDbTV (a FAST outlet, aka Free Ad-Supported Television), which has since been renamed Amazon Freevee. The streaming service also releases Kane’s other series, Leverage: Redemption.
Now, three years after the last episode of Almost Paradise aired on WGN America, the show has returned with 10 new episodes.
Season two will premiere on July 21st, and all 10 episodes will be released on the same day.
Almost Paradise was shot entirely in the Philippines. Marc Roskin and Rachel Olschan-Wilson of Electric Entertainment executive produce alongside co-showrunners Devlin and Gary Rosen. Mark Franco co-produces.
Here’s a teaser video:
What do you think? Have you seen the Almost Paradise TV series? Are you glad that the show is finally returning for a second season?
Awesome show bring a third season
Awesome show bring a third season
My husband & I both REALLY enjoy this show! We also enjoyed The Librarians, Leverage & Leverage Redemption. Since those shows are canceled, it is SO nice to have Almost Paradise to enjoy & also to follow the adventures of another of Mr. Kane’s characters. Please keep up the good work, Mr. Devlin!
Please renew for a season 3 . This show is very well done
I have really enjoyed Devlin’s series and especially Christian Kane in the shows. Just found Almost Paradise. So glad to see a season 2. Can’t wait to watch it!!!!
I’m thrilled Freevee picked up this great show by Dean Devlin! Christian Kane shines as former DEA agent Alex Walker and his costars Samantha Richelle & Arthur Acuna are brilliant. Neither of the costars had acted prior to Almost Paradise which was a big surprise. I have watched every episode multiple times and enjoyed them more each time. July 21st can’t come fast enough!!!
We are thrilled that season 2 is finally coming. We had given up on it ever happening. Hip, hip, hooray!!
Finally!!! This is the best show on television, except possibly Leverage. Dean, John Rogers and Chris Downey are gifted and Christian Kane should have won every award by now. He has it all; he choreographs the fights and performs them, he can sing like an angel and he can deliver every emotion plus he has a comedic flair. I only hope we don’t have to wait long for Season 3 of both of these shows!
Can’t wait for July 21st Love Christian Kane
So excited, we bought season one on prime and I’m so happy to see they were able to do season two can’t wait! Great cast love the action!
Hell yeah! I love this show!
Beautiful setting in Cebu, Philippines
Love Christian Kane. So happy they are bringing back Almost Paradise.
I am thrilled the second season is finally airing. I love Christian Kane in all things but I particularly like him in this show. On to a third season of this and Leverage Redemption! I hope the Librarians reboot being discussed will bring him on in some form, along with others from the cast.
Happy for the cast of Almost Paradise that it finally got renewed .. but very disappointed that once again, another really good show is now only available on a streaming outlet!!
I believe Freevee is free to watch with ads just put the app on your TV and go. Woo hoo.
YES! We’re very happy it’s returning. A crime drama with a lighter side…we look forward to watching it again!
