David Spade & Brooke Shields Reunite for a Wild Island Adventure—But There’s a Catch
Brooke Shields & David Spade Team Up for Fox’s New Sitcom Almost Paradise—A Hilarious Take on Island Survival!
Fox Brings Back Multi-Camera Comedy with a Nostalgic Twist
Get ready for a fresh dose of laughter! Fox is developing a new multi-camera sitcom, Almost Paradise, featuring Hollywood favorites Brooke Shields and David Spade. The show is set to bring a comedic spin on the classic deserted island survival story, blending nostalgia with modern humor.
With a concept reminiscent of Gilligan’s Island and The Blue Lagoon, Almost Paradise is shaping up to be a must-watch comedy that fans won’t want to miss.
Brooke Shields & David Spade: A Comedy Dream Team
Brooke Shields, who skyrocketed to fame in The Blue Lagoon, is set to return to familiar territory—only this time, it's all about comedy. She’ll be joined by David Spade, the beloved comedian and former Saturday Night Live star, making for an unexpected but exciting duo.
The two actors have shared on-screen chemistry before, with Shields guest-starring on Spade’s hit NBC sitcom Just Shoot Me! Now, they’re reuniting to lead this quirky, feel-good series that promises plenty of laughs.
What Is Almost Paradise About?
Written by Danny Zuker (Modern Family), Almost Paradise is a comedic twist on classic survival tales. The story follows a seemingly ordinary married couple who find themselves stranded on a deserted island for decades. Unlike the dramatic and romantic tones of The Blue Lagoon, this show flips the script, turning the experience into a lighthearted, family-friendly sitcom.
Think of it as Gilligan’s Island meets Survivor—but with Spade and Shields bringing their signature comedic timing to the mix.
How Almost Paradise Came to Life
The idea for Almost Paradise was sparked during a casual meeting between Shields and producer Aaron Kaplan of Kapital Entertainment. Soon after, Spade was brought on board, and with Zuker’s expertise in sitcom storytelling, the concept started gaining momentum.
Fox, known for its commitment to multi-camera comedies in the past, has already ordered two scripts, signaling strong interest in the project. If all goes well, the network could officially greenlight the series, bringing Almost Paradise to audiences soon.
A Nostalgic Return to Multi-Camera Sitcoms
For the past few years, Fox has primarily focused on single-camera comedies, such as Brooklyn Nine-Nine and New Girl. However, with the success of classic multi-camera shows like Friends and How I Met Your Mother, the network is looking to revive the format.
Spade, Kaplan, and Zuker have a history of successful collaborations, with Fox previously working with them on projects like Snake Oil and HouseBroken. Meanwhile, Shields is no stranger to the multi-camera sitcom world, having headlined the hit NBC series Suddenly Susan.
Will Almost Paradise Get the Green Light?
As of now, the project is still in the development phase, with no official release date announced. However, given the star power of Shields and Spade, along with Fox’s commitment to reviving multi-camera comedies, there’s a strong chance that Almost Paradise will make it to television screens.
