Here’s When ‘Fantasy Island’ Is Coming to Video on Demand

If you’re gonna revisit a TV show on the big screen, you might as well turn it into something new. That’s exactly what the horror hitmakers at Blumhouse did when they brought the ’70s drama Fantasy Island from primetime to movie theaters. Director/co-writer Jeff Wadlow reimagined the island as a dark place where dreams come true, albeit in horrifying ways. Michael Pena steps into Ricardo Montalban’s white suit as the keeper of the island, and the first round of participants include Lucy Hale, Jimmy O. Yang, Ryan Hansen, and Michael Rooker.

Now you can travel to this ominous paradise without leaving the comfort of your home. So how can you watch Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island? Will Fantasy Island be on Netflix? And when will the Fantasy Island Blu-ray be released? Here’s what you need to know!

When will Fantasy Island be on Netflix?

Unfortunately your dream of watching Fantasy Island on Netflix won’t come true anytime soon, most likely. Fantasy Island was distributed by Sony and, as of now, Sony doesn’t have a deal in place with Netflix. However, Sony does have a deal with another streaming service…

When will Fantasy Island be on HBO?

No, not HBO. I know! I’m sorry! While there’s a chance Fantasy Island could end up on HBO like previous Blumhouse films, there’s one thing keeping it away: Fantasy Island was distributed by Sony and not Universal (who usually handles Blumhouse distribution). Since Fantasy Island comes from Sony, it’s more likely that the film will go where Sony films go to stream: STARZ. If so, it’s possible that it will stream on STARZ starting in late August.
