Sony Pictures Television, Hong Kong’s Now TV discover Almost Paradise

MIPCOM: Sony Pictures Television network AXN in German-speaking Europe and Now TV in Hong Kong have picked up crime drama Almost Paradise from distributor Electric Entertainment.

The series, which aired on US network WGN in 2020, stars Christian Kane as a former FBI agent who is forced to flee after his partner’s death and opens a gift shop in the Philippines.

Almost Paradise will join AXN and will begin streaming in Hong Kong on Now TV’s new English-language SVoD service Now Studio in early 2022.

LA-based Electric Entertainment recently licensed Almost Paradise in France, Poland, Africa, Romania and the Balkans, after launches in Spain, Ukraine, Latin America and MEA. It is shopping the series at Mipcom in Cannes this week.
