What happens

Fantasy Island is an American fantasy drama television series created by Gene Levitt. It aired on ABC from 1977 to 1984. The series starred Ricardo Montalbán as the mysterious Mr. Roarke and, until the end of Season 6, Hervé Villechaize as his assistant, Tattoo. In each episode guests to the island are granted the realization of so-called "fantasies" — for a price. A one-season revival of the series aired in 1998, and a horror-themed reboot film was released on February 14, 2020. The same year, it was announced that a sequel of the series was being produced at Fox; it premiered on August 10, 2021 and was canceled in May 2023 after two seasons. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
