Love Island USA to Air in the U.K.

ITV2 is giving a 9 p.m. slot to Love Island USA, which kicks off its U.K. run on September 7.

Season two of the U.S. version of the international reality hit follows as a new cast of Islanders get ready to arrive on the ‘Island’ of love, set this year in Las Vegas. This season, the singletons will be sequestered in a “bubble” at a villa on top of Caesars Entertainment’s boutique hotel, The Cromwell.

Paul Mortimer, ITV’s head of digital channels and acquisitions, said: “We’re thrilled that ITV2 can bring the latest U.S. version of Love Island to viewers this year. Las Vegas may seem like an odd destination for the show but the canny producers have beaten COVID with a show that adheres to all production protocols and that could well be sensational. Certainly, the ‘villa’ is impressive and the cast diverse and amazing. We believe Love Island fans will embrace this Sin City twist, my bet is the series will be another big hit.”
