This
summer, FOX travels to FANTASY ISLAND,
with an all-new version of the classic show.
Preview: Let The Adventure Begin | FANTASY
ISLAND
A modern semi-anthology series, FANTASY ISLAND takes
place at a luxury resort, where literally any fantasy requested
by guests is fulfilled, although they rarely turn out as expected.
Delving into the “what if” questions -- both big and small --
that keep us awake at night, each episode will tell emotional,
provocative stories about people who arrive with dreams and
desires and depart enlightened and transformed through the magical
realism of Fantasy Island.
Actress, singer and songwriter Roselyn Sanchez (“Devious Maids,”
“Grand Hotel”) arrives on FANTASY ISLAND, where she stars as
ELENA ROARKE, a descendant of the iconic Mr. Roarke. Elena set
aside her own ambitions, and even the love of her life, to uphold
her family’s legacy. Sophisticated, insightful and always charming,
Elena’s calm exterior masks the challenges of the responsibilities
she has assumed as steward of this mysterious island. Kiara
Barnes (“The Bold and the Beautiful”) stars as RUBY AKUDA, who
arrives on Fantasy Island with a terminal illness and is given
a new lease on life there; and John Gabriel Rodriquez (“Miranda’s
Rights,” “Rosewood”) as pilot JAVIER, who also is the head of
island transportation and a jack of all trades.
FANTASY ISLAND is co-produced by Sony Pictures Television, Gemstone
Studios and FOX Entertainment. Liz Craft and Sarah Fain (“The
100,” “The Shield,” “Lie to Me”) serve as executive producers.
