Here’s a little secret about me, I am currently watching The Love Boat on Decades. Because of that, I have been wondering when the networks will bring back the scripted dramas which are full of celebrity guests. Today, we got our answer. Fox announced that they are bringing back Fantasy Island for its third reimagination. The series was rebooted for television in 1998, and it was released as a movie earlier this year
“In continuing to develop outside of the traditional broadcast cycle, we’ve been particularly focused on providing viewers with summer series that offer a true escape from everyday life – to be sure, now so more than ever,” said Michael Thorn, President of Entertainment, FOX Entertainment. “FANTASY ISLAND is a beloved program, and the world Liz and Sarah have created for this contemporary adaptation is signature FOX and a perfect show for today’s times. After all, who among us wouldn’t take a (safe) trip to Fantasy Island right now?”
No word who will play Mr. Roarke, but off the top of my head, I would go with Ian Somerhalder. When it comes to Tattoo, that will take me a little longer. I also hope they don’t use a lot of reality stars to be the stars of the week. I mean, Tori Spelling needs the work more than they do. Plus, she is a legacy to the show that her father created. Now that I think about it, maybe she can play Tattoo?
