Without a Trace and Grand Hotel star Roselyn Sanchez has landed the lead role in Fox’s Fantasy Island reboot.

Sanchez will play Elena Roarke, a descendant of the original show’s main character, Mr. Roarke, who was portrayed by Ricardo Montalban. The character is described as “a woman who set aside her own ambitions and the love of her life to uphold her family’s legacy. Sophisticated, insightful and always charming, Elena’s calm exterior masks the challenges of the responsibilities she has assumed as steward of this mysterious island.”

Based on the series of the same name, Fox’s Fantasy Island reboot was given a straight-to-series order in December 2020. The original Fantasy Island ran from 1977-1984 for seven seasons and featured a mysterious island that allowed its attendees to live out their fantasies — for a price. Prior to that, however, guests on the island were greeted by Montalban’s Mr. Roarke and his sidekick Tattoo, played by Hervé Villechaize.

2020 also saw a film adaptation of Fantasy Island from Blumhouse Productions that was met with less-than-stellar reviews.

Fantasy Island stars Roselyn Sanchez, Kiara Barnes and John Gabriel Rodriguez. The series premieres Tuesday, Aug. 10 at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.
