Posted in New Shows, Recommendations, Reminder, Television, Video on August 6, 2021| Leave a Comment »

On August 10, the FOX reboot of Fantasy Island will debut at 9 PM.

A modern take on the classic 1970’s-1980’s series is set at a luxury resort, where literally any fantasy requested by guests is fulfilled, although they rarely turn out as expected. Serving as steward of this mysterious island is Elena Roarke (Roselyn Sanchez from Devious Maids and Grand Hotel), a descendant of the iconic Mr. Roarke, who set aside her own ambitions, and the love of her life, to uphold her family’s legacy.

Ruby Okoro (Kiara Barnes from The Bold and the Beautiful), is Elena’s assistant, a young woman with an old soul who arrives on Fantasy Island with a terminal illness and is given a new lease on life there; and Javier (John Gabriel Rodriquez from Rosewood) is the head of island transportation and a jack of all trades.
