Fantasy Island ~ reboot of the 80's classic

The clip is brief, but it does introduce the show’s star, Elena Roarke (Roselyn Sanchez, Devious Maids). The character is described as a descendant of the iconic Mr. Roarke from the original show.

The original Fantasy Island debuted in 1977 and ran for seven seasons on ABC. The wish fulfillment  resort was run by the enigmatic Mr. Roarke, played to perfection by a tropical scenery chewing Ricardo Montalbán and was assisted by Tattoo (Hervé Villechaize). A series revival was attempted previously in 1998 by ABC, but the effort
 (starring Malcolm McDowell as Mr. Roarke) lasted only a single season. A horror film prequel version was released by Blumhouse in 2020 to disappointing reviews and box office
