As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Fantasy Island is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustrated when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we invite you to rate all of the first season episodes of Fantasy Island here. *Status Update Below.
A FOX drama series, the Fantasy Island TV show is based on the 1977-84 series 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.

*11/5/2021 update: Fantasy Island has been renewed for a second season.
Love the show. Please renew. We enjoy it more than the original. It’s different but in a good way. Very well done!
Freaking amazing! Please please please renew!
Season 2 please!!
Definitely needs to be renewed! Has the spirit of the original with intriguing story lines, great scenery and music. Enjoy having talented women in charge of The Island for a change!
Love it! Keep it!
This is a great new show, so much better than the original, PLEASE RENEW IT!!
Weak writing, empty plots and absent acting! Following the 3rd episode I’ve deleted this series from my PVR settings. Cancel this catastrophe and make room for something else….
Sorry to say it can’t be compared to the original. I wanted it to be a success bc I like Sanchez. Just don’t like the plots
I loved the first episode of Fantasy Island and it will be my feel good must see show. Loved Kiara Barnes
TERRIBLE…wanted this to work, watched in hopes that this would be a good continuation of the original, sadly,the “acting” was abismal , the stories just plain stupid, and the “tatoo” the woman, who becomes the “assistant” at the end , changed by the end of the show, waste of time, wont be watching anymore
Turned off after seeing the guy roasting on a spit. This is a fun summer show? I’m done. (Pun intended.)
I never get into tv “remakes” but this surprised me. I knew it would never compare to the original that I grew up with, but how could it. Accepting it as a new , nothing stays the same, so called updated version, it did keep me interested. I will be watching it again.
Loved this show and will be watching every week.
The pilot episode was awfully slow, and far too serious — the original was fun! Why do remakes and reboots always have to change so many things? I don’t mind seeing a new cast, but the execution should stay the same.
Not even close to the original. Waste of talent.The cast does not work for my generation!
