The Sizzling Summer Series LOVE ISLAND Returns to CTV, Beginning August 24

What happens in Vegas is for viewers to enjoy as CTV announces the return of international reality sensation LOVE ISLAND for its second season, kicking off with a two-hour premiere on Monday, Aug. 24 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and everywhere CTV content can be found.

Following the premiere, episodes air nightly for five weeks on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays (check local listings for broadcast details) at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and everywhere CTV content can be found. LOVE ISLAND episodes become available on Saturdays on Crave and E! at 1 p.m. ET beginning Aug. 29.

Host Arielle Vandenberg and narrator Matthew Hoffman return with an all-new cast of quarantined sexy singles shooting in a sequestered “bubble” at the Cromwell, a Caesars Entertainment boutique hotel in Las Vegas. The new cast will be announced closer to the premiere.

LOVE ISLAND features a group of single “Islanders” who come together in a stunning setting, 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.

Canadians can visit CTV.ca to stay tuned for more details on how they can vote, test their knowledge, and catch up on must-see moments from the second season.

LOVE ISLAND is produced by ITV Entertainment, an ITV America company. As the health and safety of everyone involved in LOVE ISLAND is the highest priority, ITV will follow specific health and safety protocols for COVID-19. All Las Vegas staff and crew working on the production and all cast participating will be within quarantined “bubbles” where they will undergo isolation before production begins and be tested prior to beginning work, and the cast will be tested prior to their participation. They will also all be regularly tested throughout the season, as well as screened daily for symptoms. Crew and staff will be required to wear PPE and work in pods to enhance social distancing. Stringent and ongoing cleaning and disinfecting protocols in filming and production areas will be in place. In addition, COVID-19 compliance officers will be on staff to monitor and enforce all health and safety COVID-19 protocols.
