Fantasy Island: Plot + Cast

Fantasy Island is centered around a luxe island paradise, where the resort lures people in by the promise of fantasy fulfillment. According to FOX’s official description, the show delves “into the ‘what if’ questions — both big and small — that keep us awake at night.” This reboot keeps with the anthology of the original series, as it centers around three main characters who live and work on the island, with new guests every episode. Each episode will also feature “emotional, provocative stories about people who arrive with dreams and desires and depart enlightened and transformed through the magical realism of Fantasy Island.”

As we previously mentioned, Roselyn Sanchez portrays one of the main characters, resort owner Elena Roarke. Elena’s backstory will explored throughout the season too. Roselyn’s joined by Kiara Barnes and John Gabriel Rodriquez, playing Ruby Okoro and pilot Javier, respectively, according to Deadline. Ruby comes to the island with a terminal illness, but Elena helps her get a new lease on life; Javier is the island’s head of transport, and is sort of a ‘jack-of-all-trades.’ You can see the trio in the photos from FOX TV’s Twitter below:
