The perfect backdrop for a summer marathon if you want to keep up with others' dates, dramas, and unexpected partner swaps.
CBS launched the reality show Love Island (USA) on July 9, 2019. An American adaptation of the British hit, where single contestants are housed in a luxury villa in Fiji and must find a partner to avoid elimination. The tone is provocative, dramatic, with daily recouplings and loyalty tests. The format consists of daily episodes over several weeks, with the winner receiving a cash prize. If you enjoy Too Hot to Handle, Love Island UK, or The Bachelor — the American version adds Hollywood gloss to the tried-and-true formula.
The seventh season is expected in summer 2026.
Six seasons have been released by 2024, with a seventh announced.
On Peacock (previously on CBS).
Reality format with producer intervention, but no script.
