(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?
I will be looking for Almost Paradise! Watched it every Monday, what will I do now?
My wife and I love this show and would love to see a season 2 and even more. This show has everything that makes us excited to watch each week and we look forward to the next episode. It is rare these days to find a show that doesn’t offend through dialogue or content. Looking forward to the next season!
Love the show can’t wait for season 2
Omg I love love love this show!!! Please come back!!! I also loved you in leverage! I wish that show would come back too!!! I will always watch!!! Fingers crossed you come back for season 2 and many more!! Thank you!!
Apparently they are rebooting Leverage. Amazon, if I recall correctly…
I absolutely love this show. It has everything! It has comedy, action, mystery, and drama. Each episode has a message and/or moral which directly relates to society today. Each cast member has such expertise in playing their character and evolving in that character. They blend and evolve together as a cast and their chemistry is so evident. Please, please, please keep this show on. During this COVID crisis I came upon it accidentally in trying to find something to keep my mind off the COVID crisis. I told so many people to watch also. They have and they love it!!!!… Read more »
