HBO Announce Cayman Islands Based Reality Series “FBoy Island”

The HBO Max reality show ‘FBoy Island’, filmed in Grand Cayman and hosted by comedian and actress Nikki Glaser, dropped its trailer on Monday, 12 July.

Announcing that the 10-episode show would be streaming on HBO Max on 29 July, the series is promoted as “the dating show where half of the players are PLAYERS”. The trailer features swimsuit-clad men and women hanging out at the beach, relaxing on boats and participating in various outdoor activities.

The premise of ‘FBoy Island’ is described as: “Three women move to a tropical island where they’re joined by 24 men — 12 self-proclaimed ‘nice guys’ looking for love, and 12 self-proclaimed ‘FBoys’, there to compete for cold, hard cash. The women will navigate the dating pool together with the hope of finding a lasting love connection. By the finale, all will be revealed — who is a nice guy, who is an FBoy and who do the women ultimately choose?”

By Wednesday morning, the video had been watched 1,352,538 times on YouTube, over 10,000 times on Facebook and over 509,000 times on Twitter.

The Los Angeles Times had its own opinions in an article headlined “With the name ‘FBoy Island,’ HBO’s new dating show is either amazing or very, very bad”, stating, “There’s no way the show can be as excellent as its trailer… which is basically a parade of muscles and flesh centered on an oceanside swimming pool in the Cayman Islands, precision-cut to match its catchy music. But hey, a viewer can dream.”
