Look for the plane, Tatoo! FOX has given a straight-to-series order to a contemporary version of the iconic drama “Fantasy Island,” from Liz Craft and Sarah Fain (“The 100,” “The Shield,” “Lie to Me”), to air in Summer 2021. The story was a feature film earlier this year and before that a popular television series in the 70s starring Ricardo Montalbán and Hervé Villechaize.
Co-produced by Sony Pictures Television, Gemstone Studios and FOX Entertainment, and executive-produced by Craft and Fain, “Fantasy Island” is a modern semi-anthology series that delves 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 walk in with a desire, but end up reborn to themselves through the magical realism of Fantasy Island.
