The CW has officially picked up a new series – FBOY ISLAND!

In addition, The CW is also officially ordering the spinoff, FGIRL ISLAND, to series!
Host and producer Nikki Glaser will also return.
“With its innovative and modern twist on the reality dating genre, incredibly talented host Nikki Glaser, and truly unforgettable title, FBOY ISLAND on The CW is a perfect match,” Heather Olander, Head of Unscripted Programming, The CW Network, shared in a statement. “Along with our partners at STXtelevision, we look forward to growing the franchise on The CW with the gender-flipping spinoff FGIRL ISLAND and cannot wait to introduce the next generation of FBoys and FGirls to existing fans as well as a new broadcast audience.”
“I’m so damn excited that my favorite reality TV show is coming back,” Nikki said. “It’s icing on the cake that I get to host it again. I hope I forget everything that happens while I make the show so that I can relive it all when it airs. I couldn’t be prouder to have my name on such a hilarious, captivating and ridiculous show.”
If you didn’t know, FBOY ISLAND follows three women who move to a tropical paradise where they’re joined by 26 men—13 self-proclaimed “Nice Guys” looking for love, and 13 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, who the women ultimately choose, and who walks away with the prize money.
FGIRL ISLAND will follow the same model, but switching genders, with three men trying to identify 24 women as either womanizers or looking for a serious relationship.
