Almost Paradise Sells into Five New Markets

Electric Entertainment has licensed the crime series Almost Paradise in Spain, Africa, Ukraine, Latin America and the Middle East.

NBCUniversal International Networks will premiere Almost Paradise on Calle 13 in Spain and Universal TV in Africa. The series will also air on 2+2 Channel in Ukraine. CDC will distribute the series in Latin America and Eagle Films in the Middle East.

Almost Paradise, which was filmed entirely in the Philippines, stars Christian Kane (The Librarians, Leverage, Angel) as Alex Walker, a former U.S. DEA agent who was forced into early retirement. Despite his best efforts to begin a tranquil new life, he’s pulled back into a world of dangerous people and deadly situations.

Dean Devlin, CEO of Electric Entertainment, said, “The beauty of Almost Paradise is that, like many of our other programs, it has universal appeal. Audiences all over the world can relate to a flawed hero fighting crime, somewhat reluctantly during his ‘retirement.’ It’s quite rewarding for us to see these international territories picking up on the theme of the show.”
