Teri and James were cast as a married couple named Dolly and Dutch, who decided to take a trip to Fantasy Island to create the “next chapter” in their lives with their grown and barbed children, per the TV line.
However, their idealistic escape takes an unexpected turn when the pair become embroiled in a “twisted” game, hosted by actor and comedian Andy Richter, that focuses solely on their rocky marriage.
The legendary duo will star in the third episode of season two, which is scheduled to air January 16 on Fox Network.
According to an IMDB summary, the premise of the hit series, which celebrated its first season in 2021, is: “People who come in with a desire but are reborn into themselves through the magical realism of Fantasy Island”.

During an interview with E! News’ Daily Pop, Teri had discussed how the two were able to star in the same project together after so many years.
