There were 3 Sequel movies. The first had them rescued and proved so successful that it spawned a second and third. By the third movie, the charm was lost, ratings were down and no more were made. In 2001 Dawn Wells co-produced a TV movie bio-pic, where she, Bob Denver and Russel Johnson appear as themselves and remember what life was like during the series. In the memory scenes, they and the rest of the cast and crew are played by actors, while Dawn narrates.

Original Airdate Title
Synopsis / notes
14 October, 21, 1978 Rescue from Gilligan's Island
The castaways turn the huts into rafts and are finally rescued, to great fanfare. On the 1 year anniversary of their rescue they all meet in Hawaii for a reunion, and decide to take a short cruise. The weather starts to get rough, and well, you can guess the rest.

Notable for the absence of Tina Louise, who refused to join any reunion. She was replaced by Judith Baldwin.
March 3, 1979 The Castaways on Gilligan's Island
The castaways are once again rescued from the island, but this time they return voluntarily to build a resort on the island.

Judith Baldwin is Ginger once again.
May 15, 1981 The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island
The Harlem Globetrotters crashland on the island. When a millionaire tries to take over the resort, the rivalry is settled by a game between the Globetrotters and the rival's robot team.

Jim Backus (Thurston Howell) has only a walk-on part as he was suffering the advanced stages of Parkinson's disease by then. His role on the island was filled by creating "Thurston Howell IV", played by David Ruprecht, the couple's supposed son. (Conflict with the first season episode in which Gilligan was adopted by the Howells after saving Lovey's life. He was said at that time to be their only son.)

Constance Forslund takes over the role of Ginger Grant.
