Sky, E! Pick Up Seasons One & Two of Temptation Island

Sky and E! Entertainment Television have acquired from Banijay Rights the first two seasons of Temptation Island for the U.K. and Ireland.

Temptation Island, a U.S. dating format hosted by Mark L. Walberg and produced by Banijay Studios North America, follows four couples as they test the strength of their relationships on an exotic island alongside a group of singles in search of love. All episodes of season one will be available from Sunday, August 4.

Zai Bennett, managing director of content at Sky, said: “Temptation Island is addictive and unmissable, and we can’t wait to launch it on Sky this summer. If you’re a fan of reality TV and entertainment, then this is your next must-watch show.”

Chris Stewart, commercial director of scripted at Banijay Rights, added: “Revived, revamped, relaunched and now recommissioned, Temptation Island is the definitive ratings-busting reality series, which pushed USA Network’s slot average up by 68 percent. Putting couples to the ultimate test, the show provides equal parts drama and entertainment, and is sure to strike a chord with the reality-loving E! audience.”
