The show will premiere a sneak peek episode at 9 p.m. Monday April 1, following the season premiere of All American, before moving to its regular timeslot of 9 p.m. Thursday on April 11.
The series sees three single men on a tropical island must determine which of the 24 women are there for love or cash in order to win $100,000.
It comes after the third season of FBoy Island aired in the fall, premiering in October. However, the show — which was originally commissioned and aired by HBO Max before it moved out of unscripted originals — didn’t quite hit the numbers that The CW was expecting.
The two series were shot back-to-back in order to make them more cost-effective. They were also shot in Malibu rather than the Cayman Islands.

“We will make interesting deals … that are cost-effective,” The CW reality chief Heather Olander told Deadline last year. “Part of that was by greenlighting two seasons at once, which then can be shot at once. It just made the cost per episode much more financially interesting for us and feasible for us.”
No word as to whether The CW will change the name of FBoy Island if and when it returns to the network.
