Fantasy Island Gets Sophomore Season

FOX has renewed the drama Fantasy Island, starring Roselyn Sanchez and Kiara Barnes, for a second season.

Fantasy Island takes place at a luxury resort, where literally any fantasy requested by guests is fulfilled—although they rarely turn out as expected. This past summer, the show ranked as the number one new scripted program among adults 18 to 49 and was FOX’s most-streamed new drama series since 9-1-1: Lone Star.

All seasons of the original 1977 Fantasy Island series and the 1998 remake are available to stream on FOX Entertainment’s free-streaming platform, Tubi.

“Thanks to the fantastic Roselyn Sanchez and charming Kiara Barnes and the captivating stories that tapped into the core tenets of emotion and aspiration, Fantasy Island was the perfect wish fulfillment and escape we all needed this summer,” said Michael Thorn, president of entertainment for FOX Entertainment. “Liz Craft, Sarah Fain and everyone at Sony and Gemstone did an excellent job on this series and, like all good things, it left us wanting more. We’re so happy to have Elena Roarke, Ruby Akuda and everyone on Fantasy Island open their world again for a brief visit this winter and for a longer stay next year.”
