LOS ANGELES – The new CBS romance and relationships reality
series LOVE ISLAND will premiere Tuesday, July 9 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). New
episodes will air every weeknight (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) through Wednesday,
August 7. The series is produced by ITV Entertainment, an ITV America company.
“As the buzziest reality show in the U.K., LOVE ISLAND has
won the hearts of viewers across the pond as well as around the world, creating
appointment viewing and fanfare for audiences everywhere. We are thrilled to
bring our version of this cultural phenomenon to CBS,” said Sharon Vuong,
Senior Vice President, Alternative Programming. “This fun, light-hearted series
is like watching your favorite romantic comedy five nights a week!”
LOVE ISLAND begins as a group of single “Islanders” come
together in a stunning villa in Fiji, ready to embark on a summer of love,
friendships and, ultimately, relationships. Every few days the Islanders must
couple-up – those who fail to find a partner to couple up with risk being
dumped from the island. Islanders are on the lookout for romance, but the road
to love doesn’t always run smoothly. Challenges abound with new Islander
arrivals and dramatic twists as friendships and relationships form. In addition
to choosing their partners wisely, Islanders must also win the hearts of
viewers who have the opportunity to shape events on screen and ultimately crown
one lucky couple the winner, who will then have the chance to walk away with
both love and the cash prize.
Additional details including series host and the cast of
Islanders will be announced at a later date.
LOVE ISLAND is produced by ITV Entertainment, an ITV America
company. David George, Adam Sher, David Eilenberg, Simon Thomas, Mandy Morris,
Ben Thursby, Richard Foster and Chet Fenster are executive producers. The
series is based on a format owned by ITV Studios and Motion Content Group, and
distributed by ITV Studios Global Entertainment.
