"Antonio Banderas’ project of bringing musicals in Spanish to Broadway will have a great impact in promoting culture in Spanish in the United States". Created by Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain, Fantasy Island returns to television recovering the essence of its predecessor, which first aired in 1978 and lasted six years. The series got another reboot in the 1990s and a horror movie adaptation last year. This revival focuses on the great-niece of Mr. Roarke, originally played by Mexican actor Ricardo Montalbán. Great-niece Elena Roarke takes over the management reins at Fantasy Island.
