FBoy Island Renewed for Season 2
There’s more delicious messiness headed your way!
HBO Max has renewed the subversive reality TV dating series FBoy Island for Season 2, TVLine has learned. Creator Elan Gale, a longtime producer of the Bachelor franchise, previously revealed that early casting for the new season is already under way.
The 10-episode first season, which saw Love Is Blind’s Sam Dean serve as showrunner — brought 12 “nice guys” and 12 “fboys” to the Cayman Islands in search of love and a $100,000 cash prize. The finale delivered a huge surprise when fboy Garrett decided to take the money for himself rather than stay in a relationship with Sarah and split the prize evenly. Host Nikki Glaser then revealed that Garrett would not see a penny of that money, and that the cash prize would instead be donated to a charity of Sarah’s choosing.
When FBoy Island returns next season, don’t expect to see the same twists from Season 1. “Season [1] undoubtedly kept the audience guessing, but we have even more big twists in store for Season 2,” Jennifer O’Connell, HBO Max’s EVP of Non-Fiction and Live-Action Family, said in a statement. “To the next batch of Fboys, beware, we’re coming for you!”
Glaser, who came up with the memorable “Fboy? F-bye!” catchphrase, will also be back as host for Season 2. “I couldn’t be happier about returning to FBoy Island for Season 2. The only downside is that it confirms my greatest fear: that there are more than 12 Fboys on planet Earth,” Glaser shared in a statement.
Gale has big hopes for the FBoy franchise, including adding LGBT+ contestants and building out several spinoffs. “My hopes are to create what I’m calling the ‘F-person Cinematic Universe, including Fboy Island, Fgirl Island and Fperson Hotel,” he previously said.
Are you ready for more FBoy Island? What do you hope to see in Season2? Sound off in the comments!
This show was absolute trash. And I loved it! Lol
It’s like Bachelor in Paradise on steroids’.
Right? It didn’t try to be anything more than it was and that was refreshing.
100% Garbage. So much fun!
Wait so you bring a fboy into the show and then penalize him when he stays true to his fboy status and chooses money over a relationship. LOL !!!
You are absolutely right. He deserved the money being true to himself. And where is the follow-up? What are they doing now?
Da fa?
I’m glad the show’s being renewed because it was good trashy fun…for the first half of the season.
But I’m worried about the tone of these statements. I want fewer twists next season.
Ick, I hope this doesn’t catch on and inspire more. Imagine HBO going from prestige TV to nothing but trashy reality shows in a matter of years.
I thought there was no way they could do a 2nd seasons after they gave the money to a charity. There’s no way an Fboy will pick the money over the girl now. Unless they change things up.
You are right
