We break down season 2 FantasyIsland with showrunners Liz Craft & Sarah Fain, who chat about crafting the finale's revenge story and what to expect in season 3 of the FOXTV series:
Warning: SPOILERS for the season 2 finale of Fantasy Island.Another season of FOX's Fantasy Island reboot has come to a close and is currently waiting on a renewal announcement from the network. Although the fate of the series remains unknown, the season 2 finale wrapped up several ongoing plot lines and ended on a high note.
Liz Craft: I'm going to have to go with Cheryl Hines and Rachael Harris because they're best friends in real life. [They played] Tara and Jessica in the first episode. I think because Sarah and I are best friends and writing partners [and] worked together for so many years, there was a lot of us infused in that story. We went to high school together, and Tara and Jessica went to high school together. So I think that would have to be my pick. And also, the actresses were so fantastic.
On a case-of-the-week type show like this, how do you balance creating new characters, fleshing out these stories, and still focusing on the development of your main cast? Liz Craft: Sarah and I were talking, and we just had the idea. We've always wanted to do a revenge story.Liz Craft: That's right. So we've always had in mind that we wanted to do a revenge story. But the question is, how do we do it in a fun way? And in a way that can sort of end with some hope, which is not necessarily easy when you're talking about revenge. We came up with the idea of these three women banding together against a big male guest star.
But also, it was such a gift to be able to see her daughter again, and to write those letters to her kids, and give her daughter her wedding ring. The story takes her relationship with Roarke, and with Javier, really, to a completely new level, because Roarke really let her make the choice. Roarke didn't do it for her. She brought MJ in so that Ruby could be the one at the controls of where she wanted to go. I think it'll have a huge impact as we move forward.
