Fox cancels Fantasy Island after two seasons, the network has announced. Despite being pleased with the show’s creative, Fox revealed the series didn’t gain strong traction among viewers. The reimagining of the classic series starred Roselyn Sánchez, Kiara Barnes and John Gabriel Rodriguez. It originally aired in the summer on Fox, with the second season currently airing as part of the network’s midseason schedule.
In the show, Roselyn Sánchez portrays Elena Roarke, a descendant of the original Mr. Roarke who runs the titular island that brings guests’ dreams and nightmares to life. The show features a wide range of guest stars with Season 2’s lineup including Cheryl Hines, Rachael Harris, Brett Butler, Teri Hatcher and James Denton.
