(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.

Yes please give us a season 2 of Almost Paradise. The more I watched this show, the more I love it.
Yes! I stumbled across it and have enjoyed every episode / story. Nice to see beautiful beach scenes. Have been a fan of Christian Kane. Like the interactions between Alex and the ‘locals’.
Please keep the show. Awesome entertainment, and love the actors. We love watching and will pick up the second showing no problem Please come back!!!
I LOVE Almost Paradise! The show is funny and Christian Kane is awesome. I would be very sad if one of my favorite shows was off the air.
YES. I have saved season one all but episode 1-2 so will catch those to rewatch and save. Want to see season 2 and then some more on non pay stations if possible. Enjoyed the concept, the fun and the scenery.
Please, please, please keep Almost Paradise going – for many more seasons! My family and I love this show and it’s so good to see Christian Kane in a show where he’s the main character!
I live in Australia so don’t get the show, but have followed it from the time they first landed in the Philippines to make it, all the behind the scenes, the little videos, of sets being made and so forth, I have read all the reviews and tuned in each week for Facebook live and watched all the trailers and sneak peeks and I definitely want to see this show, and believe it deserves a second season, and international release, I think it would take off like wildfire
Please renew. ❤️Christian Kane.
