What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the FOX television network, the Fantasy Island TV series is based on the 1977-84 show of the same name. This incarnation stars Roselyn Sánchez, Kiara Barnes, and John Gabriel Rodriquez. The story is set at a luxury resort, where literally any fantasy requested by guests is fulfilled, although they rarely turn out as expected. Different people arrive at the resort with dreams and desires and depart enlightened and transformed through the magical realism of Fantasy Island. Elena Roarke (Sanchez) is the steward of this mysterious island and is a descendant of the iconic Mr. Roarke. Assisting Elena is Ruby Okoro (Barnes), a young woman with an old soul who arrives with a terminal illness and is given a new lease on life there. There’s also pilot Javier (Rodriquez), the head of island transportation and a jack of all trades.
Season One Ratings
The first season of Fantasy Island averaged a 0.30 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.70 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Fantasy Island stacks up against other FOX TV shows.
Fantasy Island has been renewed for a second season which will debut on January 2, 2023. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will FOX cancel or renew Fantasy Island for season two? The traditional ratings aren’t great but this show is based on an existing property. At this point, I think it’s got a better-than-even chance of survival. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on Fantasy Island cancellation or renewal news.

Love this series and think it’s a great show and wonderfully written! Please bring it back with a Season 2!
I LOVE fantasy island!! So much I’ve watched the full season 4 times already!!! Please bring it back for a 2nd season!!!
Yes I think the show should be renewed I think it’s a pretty good show watch the first one back in the days when it was out and I like that one too I think the ladies are doing a pretty good job I like the way they switched it around so I think they should renew it for a second seasonAnd I love Rosalind Sanchez work I’ll watch plenty of movies and shows that she’s been at and I would watch anything that she plays it also like her helper that’s on fantasy Island
I personally would watch Roselyn Sanchez sit on a bucket for 42 minutes. My only criticism is, the writers are scripting episodes like Lesbian Recruitment videos! It’s NOT gonna sell in Red State America if they keep it up!
I would love to see more of Fantasy Island.
love it want more
