‘Almost Paradise’ Renewed for Season 2 — at IMDb TV
Dean Devlin and Christian Kane are going to have two series in their second seasons on IMDb TV soon.
Amazon’s free streaming service has picked up Almost Paradise for a second season. The drama originally aired on WGN America in 2020, and the first season is now available to stream on IMDb TV.
The action series was created by Devlin and Gary Rosen, who will serve as co-showrunners. It reunited Devlin with Kane following the original Leverage (2008-2012) and The Librarians (2014-2018). They’re also working together on Leverage: Redemption, the sequel to the TNT drama. That, too, will be back on IMDb TV for a second season.
Almost Paradise follows Kane’s Alex Walker, a former U.S. DEA agent who is forced into early retirement and relocates to a small tropical island in the Philippines, following his partner’s betrayal and a life-threatening battle with hypertension. Now, the DEA’s most resourceful undercover operative runs the gift shop in a luxury resort hotel. That resort attracts the rich, powerful and sometimes criminal elite from around the world — and they’re often on a collision course with Alex.
So while he may try to begin a tranquil new life, he gets pulled back into a world of dangerous people and deadly situations, either through his friends in the local police, Kai Mendoza (Samantha Richelle) and Ernesto Alamares (Arthur Acuña), or by running into people from his old life. The problem: He likes it.
Joining Devlin and Rosen as executive producers on Almost Paradise are Marc Roskin and Rachel Olschan-Wilson. (Roskin and Olschan-Wilson also serve as executive producers on Leverage: Redemption.)
News of the pickup comes two months after IMDb TV announced that Leverage: Redemption (which released its first season in two parts on July 9, 2021 and October 8) will be back for a second season.

We have really enjoyed Season 1 of this entertaining series. The actors are well balance, and own their own rolls, not leaving dull moments in the plots. They all have their own stories, and are all very likeable. And. I so enjoy NOT hearing the “F” word in every sentence. Relaxing, entertaining and enjoyable. A great combination. We need more like this to negate all the negativity in the world today.

Great news! There is so much trash on TV. This show reminds me of shows in the 1980's, Magnum P.I., Simon and Simon, Riptide, etc. So many good shows on during that era.

This is a wonderful program,,,so few tv programs available today with action, love, passion, family issues, intrigue and a bit romantic..,no one cutting up corpses or killing people with bodies and blood all over the place…nice pace and fun..with action and a real thriller. I am so pleased season 2 will be coming!

We can hardly wait for the next season of ALMOST PARADISE. We LOVED the first one with the quirky ex cop trying to hold it all together- including himself. His poor doctor tries to caution him when stress hits, but to no avail!! Hope it is available in the Fall.
