Fox's Fantasy Island is the sequel to the 1977 series of the same name. The first season of the show continues the original story with a new bunch of characters. The reboot gained massive ratings and was one of the most streamed shows for Fox in 2021.
The first season of Fantasy Island included guest stars such as Bellamy Young (Prodigal Son), Debbi Morgan (All My Children) and Leslie Jordon (Call Me Kat) who all come to the luxury resort to fulfill their fantasies, which rarely turns out as expected in the show.
The series Fantasy Island has been renewed for a second season and a two-hour special Christmas episode, titled, 'Welcome to the Snow Globe,' which will air on December 21, 2021.
Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn spoke to Deadline and said:
“We’re really high on it, and it’s been exciting for us to cross-pollinate some of the stars that we have in other series and do other exciting turns on Fantasy Island. Yes we definitely see a potential second season and it’s something that we’re talking about now."
