Michael Younesi (“Project Mc2”) and Studio71 have joined forces to develop a mystery adventure series titled “Lost Island,” which sounds like it’s going to have some horror elements.
Deadline broke the news today, reporting that the series, created and written by Younesi, is “inspired by Tiki culture and folklore from the South Pacific.”
“Lost Island follows a family as they move to a remote tropical island to fix up a dilapidated resort hotel. Soon after they arrive, the family comes to discover that both the hotel property and the Island itself are haunted by ancient mysteries that threaten to destroy the Island.”
“The mystery and magic of the uncharted have long captured my imagination,” said Younesi. “I’m excited to collaborate with Studio71 to bring this rich world to life… transporting audiences to a land of waterfalls, tribal drums and fantastic Shangri-la’s.”
“We really love the inventive, worldbuilding vision that Michael Younesi has brought to this project,” added Michael Schreiber, Studio71’s President of Scripted Content. “It’s a big, fun tentpole concept that’s great for the whole family.”
