Fans of Love Island are in for a double dose of romantic shenanigans next year as show bosses at ITV and Lifted Entertainment have announced that 2023 will see not one, but two new series hit our screens. Kickstarting the new year with a return to South Africa, a fresh batch of islanders will be entering the villa in search of fame and fortune as they try to find the love of their lives.
Following the same format as this year’s iconic show, the South African edition will feature stunning bombshells, cheeky challenges and a few hideaway hijinks. But if one dose of drama, intrigue and countless couples isn’t enough, the show will also be returning to Mallorca for the summer season, with the nation’s favourite dating show once again returning to the Spanish island for another eight week run.
Officially the biggest programme of the year in the 16-34 age bracket based on viewing figures, a whopping 7.5million people tuned into the debut episode of the latest series earlier this month. Whether it’s entertaining fans who have watched from the very beginning, or captivating new viewers with witty promos, nail biting teasers and a constant supply of eye candy, Love Island has cemented its place in many of our hearts - while also dominating the national conversation.
Speaking about the upcoming plans for next year, Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality Commissioning and Controller, ITV2, said: “Love Island has once again proved itself to be the nation’s favourite talking point across the summer, and we’re always blown away by the show’s ongoing impact and talkability amongst our younger audience. "So, rather than just serving up a Summer of Love, we thought we’d make 2023 the Year of Love with two full series of the show.” Throughout
