After Blumhouse’s Horror Movie, “Fantasy Island” Returns to Its Original Form With Reboot Series [Trailer]

Horror

Let the adventure begin… all over again.

The original 1970s TV series “Fantasy Island” only dabbled in horror here and there, but Blumhouse’s 2020 movie brought those elements to the forefront for a full-on horror movie. Now, just one year later, “Fantasy Island” returns as, well, a non-horror TV series.

The new “Fantasy Island” premieres on FOX Tuesday, August 10. Watch the trailer below.

“A modern drama 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.

“Serving as steward of this mysterious island is ELENA ROARKE (Roselyn Sanchez, “Devious Maids,” “Grand Hotel”), 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, her calm exterior masks the challenges of the responsibilities she has assumed. Assisting Elena is RUBY OKORO (Kiara Barnes, “The Bold and the Beautiful”), 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 pilot JAVIER (John Gabriel Rodriquez, “Miranda’s Rights,” “Rosewood”), who also is the head of island transportation and a jack of all trades.”

The reboot comes from Sony Pictures Television and Fox Entertainment.
