Brooke Shields Is Stranded on an Island (Again!)—But This Time, It’s Funny!

Buy Me A Coffee

Brooke Shields is once again setting sail for The Blue Lagoon—except this time, it’s less steamy romance and more sitcom shenanigans. Because nothing says “Hollywood magic” like turning a survivalist nightmare into a laugh-out-loud, laugh-track-infused comedy!

The 59-year-old actress is teaming up with none other than Saturday Night Live alum and king of dry sarcasm, David Spade, for FOX’s upcoming multi-camera sitcom Almost Paradise. This brilliantly absurd project comes from Modern Family’s Danny Zuker and Kapital Entertainment’s Aaron Kaplan, proving that the true survival skill in Hollywood is knowing the right people.

So, What’s the Deal?
The show’s premise is simple yet wildly ridiculous:

👉 Take one married couple.
👉 Strand them on a deserted island for decades.
👉 Watch as they navigate everyday problems, like finding food, staying sane, and avoiding fashion disasters with homemade coconut bras.

The logline basically reads: “Blue Lagoon meets a family sitcom”—so, imagine less inappropriate romance and more “Honey, I Burned the Coconut Again.”

How Did This Even Happen?
It all started when Brooke Shields and producer Aaron Kaplan had a casual chat—because, apparently, this is what happens when celebrities make small talk. One thing led to another, and before you know it, they were pitching the idea to David Spade, who presumably said, “Sure, why not? I could use a vacation.”

Brooke and David already have comedic history—she previously guest-starred on his show Just Shoot Me!, proving that their on-screen chemistry is more “awkward and hilarious” than “stranded and smoldering.”

Is This Actually Happening?
Fox has ordered two scripts, which is basically Hollywood’s way of saying, “We like this, but don’t get too excited just yet.” No official contracts have been signed, but Brooke and David have been heavily involved in the creative process—so if all goes well, we could soon be watching them argue over who gets the last coconut while cracking sarcastic jokes at a palm tree.

If greenlit, their characters will reportedly be named Brooke and David—because when you’re marooned on an island for decades, the last thing you want to worry about is remembering a fake name.

Stay tuned. Because Almost Paradise might just be almost genius.
