In the second season of Almost Paradise, we follow US DEA agent Alex Walker, played by Christian Kane, along with his friends Kai Mendoza and Ernesto Almares. After being transferred to the Philippines for a relaxed retirement, Alex thought he was done with investigations and crimefighting. However, he was proven wrong when the Mactan Pd asked him to assist their detectives unofficially in catching criminals and solving crimes. Despite being under medical supervision due to a previous heart attack, Alex tries to avoid getting involved but eventually joins forces with Kai and Ernesto. Together, they use Alex’s sharp intuition and investigative prowess to solve various criminal cases, with each episode presenting a different story.

Busting into a secret club is never easy, especially for Alex Walker (Christian Kane) and Ernesto Alamares (Arthur Acuña) in Amazon Freevee’s series Almost Paradise Season 2.
Ernesto thinks he’s found a way to infiltrate a secret club, but is he really being sly, or does his plan have flaws – especially when he and Alex are being billed as an “act.”
In an exclusive clip of an upcoming episode, Ernesto confidently says he, Alex, and Kai Mendoza (Samantha Richelle) were invited to the club. Presenting a special chip seems to soften the defensive club owner – but does it?

When the club owner asks for names, he stops and says, “Don’t answer that, it doesn’t matter! And I don’t wanna know.”
After a quick inspection, the club owner says, “I can see the potential. I can bill the two of you as a double act.

Almost Paradise fans, get ready for a summer with extra blessings, because season 2 is just around the corner! After season one finished airing back in mid-2020, it seemed like we might have seen the last of Alex Walker (Christian Kane) and his new detective friends Kai Mendoza (Samantha Richelle) and Ernesto Almarez (Arthur Acuña), but our favorite gang of Philippines-based crime-solvers are back on the case this July in a brand-new, ten-episode season.
In season two, Alex will be questioning his place on the island, but with the help of his trusted friends, he will discover a renewed sense of family in paradise!
“There’s never been an American series filmed in the Philippines,” star Kane told Tell-Tale TV. “I feel like we know what Korea looks like, we know what Japan looks like and we know what China looks like because we’ve seen films that they’ve been featured in.

“I’m turning over a new leaf: no stress, no drama,” ex-DEA agent Alex Walker (Christian Kane) insists in the trailer for Almost Paradise Season 2. Yes, the Kane-led drama is (finally) returning for its second season, now on Amazon Freevee, on Friday, July 21. (The first season aired on WGN America in early 2020.) All 10 episodes will be available at once. Alex’s aforementioned declaration comes as his doctor tells him, “you’ve come a long way” but warns “your hypertension can easily return.” It was his health, along with his partner’s betrayal, that first forced Alex into early retirement and brought him to the small tropical island in the Philippine archipelago. But as the first season showed, he can’t just run the gift shop in the island’s luxury resort hotel. Rather, he gets pulled back into law enforcement through cases with his friends in the local police,...
