Season 2 of the action drama success of Electric Entertainment, Almost Paradise, was premiered on Amazon’s Freevee past July in USA and UK.
Created by Dean Devlin (Leverage) and Gary Rosen (The Librarians), who serve as co-showrunners, Almost Paradise follows Kane’s Alex Walker, a former U.S. DEA agent who, after his partner’s betrayal and a life-threatening battle with hypertension, is forced into early retirement and relocates to a small tropical island in the Philippines.
There, despite his best efforts to transition from Jason Bourne to Jimmy Buffett, Alex is pulled back into a world of dangerous people and deadly situations, either through his friends in the local police — Kai Mendoza (played by Samantha Richelle) and Ernesto Alamares (Arthur Acuña) — or running into people from his old life.
Almost Paradise was shot entirely in the Philippines. Marc Roskin and Rachel Olschan-Wilson executive produce alongside Devlin and Rosen; Mark Franco co-produces.
