Call your gals because the most hectic reality show to hit screens this year, FBOY Island Australia, has been confirmed to return in 2024 for Season 2.
The series shook up the Aussie dating show landscape as it followed three leading ladies trying to differentiate “f*ckboys” from “nice guys”.
However, when FBOY Island Australia wasn’t featured at Binge’s annual upfronts again, fans feared the show was getting the axe.
Well, no need to stress, because the streaming service has made our day by announcing the return of the spicy series.
Host Abbie Chatfield also took to Instagram to share the news on November 16.
“IT’S F*CKING BACK!” she penned. “Season 2 is OFFICIALLY HAPPENING! I am so beyond thrilled.
“This show was incredible to make, and the finished product was even better. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Season 2.”
The 28-year-old then encouraged “FBoys, Nice Guys and iconic Lead Women” to apply, with casting “open now” at fboyislandcasting.com.au.
Abbie Chatfield says FBOY Island Australia Season One helped young women feel ‘vindicated and justified’
Chatting to The Daily Telegraph about FBOY Island‘s return, Abbie explained why its first season was so beloved.
“FBOY Island is the perfect combination of easy-to-watch dating show, genuine love stories, it’s high stakes in terms of relationships and monetary prizes but it also isn’t afraid to make fun of itself and its contestants,” she said.
“I think this show really gave a voice to a lot of people, particularly young women who have been f*cked around by Fboys and in myself or the contestants calling them out they felt vindicated and justified.”
Abbie, who first rose to fame on The Bachelor Australia 2019, added that FBOY Island “flips traditional dating formats on its head”.
“Among all of the jokes, laughter and questionable behaviour it’s a show that challenges gender dynamics and encourages men to be accountable for their bad behaviour,” Abbie said.
“I also think a reality format that is self-aware… is really appealing to Australian audiences because we don’t take ourselves too seriously and neither did FBOY Island.”
Bring on 2024!
