TVLine Items: Young to Fantasy Island, Guiding Light Vet Joins GH and More
Welcome to Fantasy Island, Bellamy Young: The Prodigal Son actress will guest-star on Fox’s upcoming summer series as a local TV morning show host with a taste for adventure, our sister site Variety reports.
The contemporary, semi-anthological reboot “delves into the ‘what if’ questions, both big and small, that keep us awake at night,” according to the official logline. “Each episode will tell emotional, provocative stories about people who walk in with a desire, but end up reborn to themselves through the magical realism of Fantasy Island.”
Like the original show, the update will feature a series-regular ensemble, anchored by Roselyn Sanchez (Grand Hotel, Devious Maids), as well as a weekly cast of different visitors such as Scandal vet Young.
