Netflix's new dystopian survival series takes a jab at the Fyre Festival

Netflix's upcoming show The I-Land has no qualms about parodying the failed Fyre Festival. But the intention behind that is something we don't know yet because the show seems to be focusing on something different entirely. While this does offer an island getaway, too, here in the trailer we see people go through some life-threatening "extreme psychological and physical challenges. The series stars Kate Bosworth (who's also a producer) and Natalie Martinez. They're joined by other people who've woken up on a "treacherous island with no memory of who they are or how they got there." And it looks like they need to find a way to get off that island. Feels very The Hunger Games, we have to say. Is there a connection to the Fyre Festival and this show? We don't know for now. The only way we'd find out is when it debuts on September 12th.
