Fantasy Island is back for another season and those staying at the luxury resort will again explore some of their wildest dreams.
Returning in her role as Elena Roarke, a descendant of the original Fantasy Island’s Mr. Roarke, is Roselyn Sanchez. The reboot follows the premise of the 1970s series, with new guest stars appearing each week on the show with their own set of emotional baggage. By the end of the episodes, these characters hope to reach some kind of peaceful resolve within themselves. Although, that’s not always the case.
Here's everything we know about Fantasy Island season 2.
When is the next episode of Fantasy Island season 2 ?
Fantasy Island has reached its season 2 finale, and fans of the ‘90s hit series Beverly Hills, 90210 are in for a treat as Jason Priestley guest stars.
The episode titled "First, Second, and Third Wives Club" airs on Monday, May 8, at 9 pm ET/PT on FOX. Here’s a synopsis of what’s to come:
“Sue, Jenna and Brooklyn are the first, second and third wives of Gavin, a charming doctor who’s made a fortune selling all-natural vitamins—and broken all of their hearts along the way. Now, they all share the same fantasy: they want Gavin to understand— to feel for himself— the pain he’s caused them all. Meanwhile, Roarke brings Ruby’s youngest daughter, MJ, to the Island to help Ruby remember who she is. And hopefully, keep her from disappearing into the ocean forever with Isla… as a mermaid.”
Fantasy Island season 2 plot
We're about to get into some season 1 spoilers for Fantasy Island. As described by Fox, the original plot of the rebooted show is as follows:
"A modern drama series, Fantasy Island takes place at a luxury resort, where literally any fantasy requested by guests is fulfilled, although they rarely turn out as expected. Delving into the 'what if' questions — both big and small — that keep us awake at night, each episode will tell emotional, provocative stories about people who arrive with dreams and desires and depart enlightened and transformed through the magical realism of Fantasy Island."
Fans of the show recall that season 1 ended with Ruby Akuda (Kiara Barnes) running into her husband Mel (Adain Bradley) on the island as he was in limbo between life and the afterlife. After an emotional 24 hours that the couple shared, Mel eventually phases off into "eternity." Once her husband is gone, it becomes clear that Ruby is Elena Roarke’s (Roselyn Sanchez) number two in command.
Speaking of Elena, viewers find out in the finale she was actually once primed to depart from the island with her fiancé. At the time, she was set to go and leave the mysterious Fernando to take her place, but the island itself was not his biggest fan and lashed out. As a result, she stayed on the island. However, Fernando was not happy with her decision and felt slighted as he would no longer be in charge.
As season 2 picks back up, viewers of Fantasy Island should anticipate gaining more insight into the dynamic at play between Elena and Fernando. Additionally, with new guests stopping by the island, fans of the series can of course anticipate some heart-wrenching moments from each of the new characters.
