The winter version of the show, which is set in sunny South Africa, will air Monday January 16, according to reports.
This is the second series of the winter version as ITV2 had to cancel the show due to air in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Another change fans will notice this year is that Maya Jama will be presenting the show after Laura Whitmore announced she was stepping down as host after two years.
Love Island bosses have been contacted for comment.
A source told The Sun that ITV producers wanted the show to begin on 'Blue Monday', dubbed that name as it is supposedly the gloomiest day of the year.
"This year’s contestants will be flown out to South Africa earlier in January and will start filming for the first episode the day before," the insider said. The grand finale will take place eight weeks later on March 13."
They further promised that the villa looks "absolutely amazing" and that Maya is "raring to go".
They added: "It is a really exciting time for everyone who works on the show and they cannot wait to get started."
The new Islanders will be staying in a swanky secluded mansion located in a 'protected' area in the Franschhoek wine valley.
According to reports, work is underway at the stunning eco-retreat ahead of the new season. With gorgeous mountain viewers and peace and quiet in the secluded area, the new contestants will be safer than ever.
The gigantic villa generates its own electricity, water and has numerous food sources, making it the perfect eco-friendly TV destination.
