(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?
Love this show. Please bring it back!
We love almost paradise in our house. We will gladly watch all episodes in support of the new network airing it. It would be a great disappointment to not get a second season.
This show is wonderful..haven’t had so much fun in years! The Phillipine scenery is beautiful.. the plot realistically twisty..the Actors so believable I was hooked the first scene. Christian Kanes authentic action scenes have always been a secret passion of mine..and these are more than satisfying!
Cant wait for Season 2!
I would most certainly watch a season 2 of almost Paradise.
Great show, like Christian Kane when he was on Leverage and even better now. Love the location always wanted to visit the Philippines now more than ever. The costar’s are just as good as Christian they make a good team, the Martial arts sences are as real as they can get.
Love the show hopefully it will be back for a second season.

This show was awesome and I would definitely watch it on another station! Christian Kane is the best. Loved him in the Librarians.
We loved the show. Please bring it back
I love Almost Paradise and will watch it on any channel
I loved this show!! I don’t have cable so I paid for it on Amazon Prime. If there is a Season 2 I would pay for it again, it was that good!! I rarely pay for anything on Amazon Prime. In fact, I think this is the only thing I’ve ever paid for. Please bring on a Season 2!!
