The CW has confirmed that it is going on a date with FBoy Island and its female spinoff FGirl Island.
Deadline revealed in March that the network had picked up the two shows as new unscripted boss Heather Olander’s first major buys since joining earlier this year.
Nikki Glaser remains as host and exec producer of FBoy Island, which previously ran for two seasons on HBO Max. It will air as part of its fall lineup.
FGirl Island, which will also be hosted by Glaser, will have a midseason launch.
Both series will go into production back-to-back this summer from STXtelevision. The series were created by Elan Gale who is executive producing for TheYearOfElan Productions alongside Jason Goldberg for STXtelevision, Nikki Glaser, Noah Fogelson and Bob Simonds.

FBoy Island, which was one of HBO Max’s most-watched original non-scripted shows, was caught in the middle of Warner Bros. Discovery’s move to cut reality shows from HBO Max and was canceled after two seasons last year.
The show was set in the Cayman Islands and followed three women who are 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 navigate the dating pool together with the hope of finding a lasting love connection. By the finale, all is revealed – who is a Nice Guy, who is an FBoy and who the women ultimately choose. Fboy Island is a social experiment that asks the age-old question: Can FBoys truly reform, or do Nice Guys always finish last?
The FGirl Island spinoff was already in the works at HBO Max before it was cut.

Catherine Bray Festival reviews just love to hype a breakout performance, to the extent that one worries about becoming the little critic that cried breakout. But here goes: Talia Ryder, lead actor in “The Sweet East,” is a star. There’s something of Kristen Stewart about her, not merely in terms of physical resemblance, but more in her gift for not just acting but reacting. That’s fortunate, because her character is generally surrounded by extremely chatty blowhards, most of them interested only in the role she might play for them in their own lives. She lies constantly about her identity and where she’s from, and these lies go down easy because nobody is particularly invested in who she might actually be — they’re too keen to fit her into their own mythology.
With a light-hearted, feel-good lineup of programming that includes The Spencer Sisters and Sullivan’s Crossing on the schedule for fall, the addition of dating show FBoy Island to the CW’s 2023-2024 schedule feels more than just a little incongruous.
