(WGN America)
On Monday night, WGN America finished airing the first season of the Almost Paradise TV series. Tonight, the show’s creator, Dean Devlin, shared with his cast and crew that series won’t be returning to the cable channel for another season. However, that doesn’t mean that the series has been cancelled either. The possibility for a second season is still alive.
A crime drama series, Almost Paradise stars Christian Kane, Samantha Richelle, Arthur Acuña, Nonie Buencamino, and Ces Quesada. The series 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.
Devlin has already discussed some plans that he has for the second season but first, the show must be renewed. Tonight, Devlin said, “A lot of people have been asking about season two so I want to tell everybody what’s happening with our show. Just so everyone knows we will not be back on WGN next year. WGN has decided to change into an all-news network [in primetime]. We are grateful to WGN for launching our show and for getting us up and running and giving us a place to show the show to everyone. So, thank you for that opportunity. But, we will not be back next year with WGN but that does not mean that we will not be back.”
He continued, “I can’t name the platform yet because the ink isn’t dry on the contract but, this July, all of the original episodes will appear in a new place and that place will be for free so everyone will be able to watch it for free.”
“And, they have sworn to me that, if we do well enough, if we perform really well in those first couple months, they will pick up season two and continue the show. We will announce at some point where that new platform is,” Devlin said.
“If we do well, we will be back for season two and nothing would make me happier. I can’t imagine any show that I’ve ever worked on being more fun than this one. Again, thank you, everyone, for a wonderful season,” he concluded.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Almost Paradise TV series? Will you be watching the first season episodes in support? Should this series have a second season?
Please continue with Almost Paradise!!! It is imperative
Definitely needs a second season.
This is a fun show to watch. It is clean and funny. please bring it back
My husband and I Love this show. Would love a Season two!!
Almost Paradise is an amazing show. Very much enjoyed the first season. Keeping hopeful that there will be a second.
WGN America is NOT turning into an all news network, it is starting a 3 hr news block in prime time, 7p EST to 10P EST. M-F. Surprised that the producers don’t seem to up to soeed. The 11pm slot is open at WGN America. Perhaps the ratings are not satisfactory. Actually, I expected a better show. Only half of the episodes were not cartoonish.
We Love this show!!! The Cast has great Chemistry, action and off beat crime fighting
All around Great Show!!!
Season 2. PLEASE
❤
Love the show. My husband and I look forward to it every week. Christian is awesome. Ws great in leverage as well. Please it back.
Finally àn intèresting show in an exotic locale that makes me think about being there. You think another news channel is your answer to everything BS. I want to escape into almost paradise and dream a little
Please have a second season of Almost Paradise. Great cast, fun script and perfect getaway for these times. Also I love anything with Christian Kane.
Just need to know the new platform and we will be there. Love the show and it definitely needs more seasons.
I loved your new show Almost Paradise!! I can’t wait for season two. Fingers crossed there will be a season two!!!!
I really hope there will be several more seasons for this show.
I absolutely love Dean Devlin’s work. I can’t think of a TV show he’s worked on that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. Almost Paradise is brilliant. It’s this generation’s Magnum and I can’t wait for season 2. Also hugely eager to see Leverage 2.0.
I would have expected that the ‘Stargate SG-1’ and/or ‘Stargate Atlantis’ series were just as much, if not more fun than ‘Almost Paradise’ was. Those were also shows produced by Dean Devlin, if that was not clear.
Enjoyed those series more than ‘Almost Paradise’, if I’m honest. But that does not mean that ‘Almost Paradise’ wasn’t fun to watch. It most certainly deserves a second season. And if they can keep the fun in, a third and fourth season as well.
