In an early statement, Fox described Fantasy Island as a “semi-anthology” series with “emotional, provocative stories about people who arrive with dreams and desires and depart enlightened and transformed through the magical realism of Fantasy Island.”
The series will act as a sequel to 2020’s Fantasy Island, which in turn acted as a prequel to ABC’s 1977 television series of the same name. While the 2020 feature film of the same name earned very poor reviews, it was a box office success, earning $48.5 million to its $7 million budget.
Roselyn Sanchez will play the descendant of Ricardo Montalban’s Mr. Roarke. The series is set to premiere on August 10, at 9 p.m.
Picked up in December, Kimberly McCullough and the series will follow a host of odd characters who arrive at the island to live their wildest fantasies but will depart enlightened and transformed through the island’s magical realism.
