Hollywood producer Dean Devlin and American star Christian Kane were all praises for the Filipinos they worked with in “Almost Paradise,” the international crime drama series that is currently airing on Kapamilya Channel and A2Z every Sunday.
In an interview on “TV Patrol” last Tuesday (April 27), the Fil-Am producer of global hits like “Independence Day” and “Godzilla” said he wanted “Almost Paradise” to be a showcase of what Filipinos can do.
“Our hope with our show is to not only make a show that people enjoy and show the Philippines in a light that I think is necessary, but also to expose this incredible talent,” Dean Devlin said.
The show’s lead star Christian also had good words for his Filipino colleagues, whom he grew close with during shooting in Cebu before the pandemic.
“We became a family so quick and I’m not talking about just the actors. I’m talking about every single person on that set. This is one of the best crews if not the best crew we’ve ever worked with. Maraming salamat, Kapamilya,” he said.
The partnership between Electric Entertainment and ABS-CBN, “Almost Paradise” is the first American TV series shot entirely in the Philippines. It also features a local cast and production crew.
Action continues to intensify in “Almost Paradise,” which is down to its last four weeks. In the next episode, Alex (Christian) gets a surprise visit from his Uncle Danny, a con artist who took him under his wing and used him in his schemes when he was a child. Will Alex be able to find the truth about Uncle Danny and help his friends solve another case at the same time?
Don’t miss out the intense episode of “Almost Paradise” this Sunday, 8:45 pm on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, iWantTFC, and Kapamilya Online Live (KOL) on Facebook and YouTube.
