Love Island (stylized as love island and also known as Love Island USA outside of the U.S.[6] and domestically starting with season 4) is an American dating reality show based on the British series Love Island. The series was announced and commissioned on August 8, 2018, by CBS. It premiered on July 9, 2019, on CBS.[7] The series was hosted by Arielle Vandenberg for its first three seasons; Sarah Hyland replaced Vandenberg as host starting with the fourth season.[8] On March 27, 2024, it was announced that Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix would be replacing Hyland as host for the sixth season of the show. The social media popularity and success that the sixth season of Love Island has brought to the series, is like never seen before, and all the viewers are excited to see if the future seasons can bring the same energy. [9] The seventh season for the show is expected to premiere in the summer of 2025, but it has not been officially greenlit by Peacock.[10]

On August 1, 2019, the show was renewed for a second season and was originally scheduled to premiere on May 21, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the production was postponed. The second season production moved to The Cromwell Las Vegas with strict quarantine measures in place. It premiered on August 24, 2020.[11][12] On January 27, 2021, the series was renewed for a third season, which was filmed in Hawaii.[13] The third season premiered on July 7, 2021.[14]

In February 2022, the series was picked up for its fourth and fifth seasons by Peacock. The fourth season took place in California,[15][16] and premiered on July 19, 2022.[17] The fifth season premiered July 18, 2023 with season 5 returning to Fiji for the first time since season one.[4]
