It is Christmastime, and that means it is time for families to take photos for their holiday cards. So, Eric Winter took his kids, Sebella and Dylan, to JC Penney’s for a portrait session.
The three did all the classic poses! And by the end of it, they had a photo album of pictures to enjoy and share with their loved ones, including his wife, Roselyn Sanchez!
I am sure she is so upset she was not able to be there. But at least she has the photos to enjoy!
Fox is preparing their fantasy schedule for the 2023-2024 season, and Fantasy Island is not on it.
The sequel to the 1977 series starred Roselyn Sánchez, Kiara Barnes, and John Gabriel, with Sánchez playing Mr. Roarke’s grand-niece.
Personally, since it is about me, I think they are making a mistake. It was an original show, even though it was a sequel, that was enjoyable to watch. And it was educational because each episode came with a little lesson. Just because you get what you want doesn’t mean you want it. And if you do, are you better off?
And I think it would’ve been better off and gotten a third season had Fox kept it as a summertime series instead of giving it a year and a half off and moving it to midseason. It was not an in-season show because it felt like summer.
Hopefully, a streamer will see this news and pick up the series for another season. Although, I have to admit yesterday’s episode ending felt like a perfect goodbye.
Fox announced today that they picked up their summer hit Fantasy Island for a second season. The show is a sequel to the 1978 series with Roselyn Sanchez starring as Elena Roarke, Mr. Roarke’s niece.
“Thanks to the fantastic Roselyn Sanchez and charming Kiara Barnes and the captivating stories that tapped into the core tenets of emotion and aspiration, Fantasy Island was the perfect wish fulfillment and escape we all needed this summer,” said Michael Thorn, President, Entertainment, FOX Entertainment. “Liz Craft, Sarah Fain and everyone at Sony and Gemstone did an excellent job on this series and, like all good things, it left us wanting more. We’re so happy to have Elena Roarke, Ruby Akuda and everyone on FANTASY ISLAND open their world again for a brief visit this winter and for a longer stay next year.”
What is this brief visit he is talking about? Fantasy Island is getting a 2-hour Christmas episode with Mackenzie Astin on December 21st.
Personally, I was pleasantly surprised it was picked up. I didn’t think it did well enough in the ratings, but I was wrong. And to be honest, I think it is better than the original. I watched the first one and the remake on Tubi, and I had to shut both of them off after a few episodes. However, I watched the whole season of the Fox program. Does that tell you how much I enjoyed it?
On August 10th, Fox is giving us a sequel to the ’70s cult favorite show Fantasy Island. We know that Roselyn Sanchez is playing Mr. Roarke’s family member, and she is running the island now. We also know that Dave and Odette Annable will guest star on the show this season.
Today, we found out who three more of those guest stars are going to be. They are Melrose Place’s Daphne Zuniga, Josie Bissette, and Laura Leighton. The three friends travel there for one of their birthdays. At first, it seems like a happy trip. But then things start to unravel when they find faults in their friendship.
Will they leave as friends or enemies? We will just have to tune in to find out.
There is a lot of buzzing on the set of The Rookie today and it is not about the show possibly getting a second season. Instead, it is all about Nathan Fillion and Eric Winter shaving their stubble so that they are fresh faced for the police dramedy.
They look so good, how can ABC not bring the show back for another year?
