Recent re-imaginings of Fantasy Island have tended to learn towards the supernatural, if not downright macabre, whether it was the 1998 revival starring Malcolm McDowell or the 2020 horror film starring Michael Peña. The most recent attempt to revive the brand stayed closer to the original, in both story and theme. Roselyn Sánchez starred as Elena Roarke, grandniece of Ricardo Montalbán’s character from the original, who oversees the fantasies enjoyed by the visitors to the island.
The show lasted two seasons before being cancelled last month by FOX.
