Haven't seen anything in the "stranded on a desert island" genre in a while, has it died off?

We had:

- Treasure Island
- Lord of the Flies
- Castaway
- Battle Royale
- The Beach (the island wasn't deserted, but we'll allow it)
- Lost
- Etc

Excluding shitty "I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of here" bollox, nothing really comes to mind.

Have we just gone off the idea of being stranded on a desert island?

Maybe being alone isn't scary anymore? Maybe everyone is autistic as fuck now and relish the thought of being alone on an island or some shit?

Am I wrong?
