Melissa George On Season 2 Of The Apple TV+ Series “The Mosquito Coast,” Mexico & More
Based on Paul Theroux’s best-selling novel of the same name, The Mosquito Coast follows the dangerous journey of Allie Fox, a brilliant inventor and stubborn idealist who makes the surprising decision to uproot his family on a dangerous quest to find refuge from the U.S. government, cartels and hitmen. In season two of the Apple TV+ series, after barely escaping Mexico with their lives, the Foxes venture deep into the Guatemalan jungle to meet up with an old friend and her community of refugees. This new refuge creates trouble for the Foxes though when they become entangled in a conflict between a local drug lord and his family. At odds about whether to settle down or keep moving, Allie and Margot pursue different paths to secure their family’s future. Within giving too much away, the outcome of this scenario will either unite the Fox family or tear it apart forever.
