The second season of the American comedy television series Gilligan's Island commenced airing in the United States on September 16, 1965, and concluded on April 28, 1966, on CBS.
The second season continues the comic adventures of seven castaways as they attempt to survive and escape from an island on which they had been shipwrecked.
Most episodes revolve around the dissimilar castaways' conflicts and their failed attempts—invariably Gilligan's fault—to escape their plight.
Executive producers for the second season of Gilligan's Island included William Froug and series creator Sherwood Schwartz.
