Almost Paradise Season 2: Get Freevee Release Date for Christian Kane Series, View Trailer and Poster (Exclusive)
It is at long last time for Christian Kane and friends to return to Almost Paradise.
TVLine has learned exclusively that Season 2 of the action drama will premiere all 10 episodes on Amazon’s Freevee on Friday, July 21, in the U.S. and UK.
We also have a first look at the Season 2 trailer (press play above), plus the key art posters (below).
The first season of Almost Paradise aired way back in Spring 2020, on what was then called WGN America (now NewsNation). The Season 2 move to Freevee (fka IMDb TV) doubly made sense since Amazon’s free streaming hub 1) has been the home for Season 1 and 2) also resurrected Leverage, which counts Kane among its cast.
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.

Any chance this bodes well for a season 3 pickup of Leverage: Redemption?

Hey Matt, sorry to bother you. Any chance we could get in-line tweets here under the new format? Instead of having to click that, if the tweet was embedded, that’d be pretty cool. Thanks.
What does the tweet say? I can’t open it.
Dean Devlin: “Still waiting to find out.”
Thanks!
Is this wacky fun like it sounds, or does it take itself serious?
It’s wacky fun.
Lots of wacky fun, but great action and stories as well.
It’s a good show. The lead is believably funny. Supporting cast is great. IMO
This was fun show, but most of people probably forgot it existed or never heard of it.
this will be pure mabuhay!!!
Been waiting for season 2(Almost Paradise) for 3 loooong years!! Can’t wait to see it!!
YES!!
Great news! I soooo can’t wait to see #ChristianKane as Alex Walker
in action again!
#AlmostParadise
This is a show I’ve been meaning to check out! It looks really fun!
Great news! I’ve been waiting for this. It’s a fun show.
Finally! I know what I’m doing that weekend.
How is Christian Kane doing 2 shows at once. I mean it’s awesome but just curious
It’s because both are produced by Dean Devlin. They did LR earlier in the year then he flew to Cebu to do AP.
So excited its a great show with a stellar cast . I truly hope we get a season 3 n also a season 3 for Leverage Redemption which is amazing show
I wasn’t sure this show would actually ever return. Feels like forever since it aired.
Ooh, I’m excited for the return of Almost Paradise!
I love both Alkost Paradise and Leverage Redemption. Will there be Seasons3+?
See response above.
Love, love ,loved the first series, now finally counting down to July 21st for start of season 2. 🥰🥰🤩
It’s about time. I have been itching to see season 2 since I heard it was filming again. Can’t wait.
With the price hikes for Amazon Prime, I feel like FreeVee should be commercial free for Prime subscribers.
With Almost Paradise, Leverage, Jury Duty, Alex Rider, Sprung, Primo, Judy Justice and Corner Gas Animated I believe I’m watching Freevee originals more than any other network/streamer.
It currently airs on Crave in Canada.
What channel will Almost Paradise be shown in Cnada?
I love this show! Looking forward to Season 2
Missed this one first time around! Will catch up on it ready for season 2 :)
This is a really fun show. Glad it’s back.
Can’t wait. Loved season 1 especially with my very recent diagnosis of hypertension. Plus Kai carries a Rock Island .45. Gotta love the old school 1911.
So happy for the return of Almost Paradise. Love the show.
