Just a week after the new season of Love Island USA premiered, the show that started it all returns for a landmark 12th season. We've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch Love Island UK, including free streaming options.
Love Island celebrates its 10th anniversary with a bombshell 12th season. Maya Jama returns as host of the hit reality series (and Iain Stirling will once again narrate), which follows a group of singles bunking together in a villa. They must couple up to compete for the ultimate prize and to avoid being voted out of the villa. The new season features a brand-new cast of contestants, including a flight attendant, a semi-pro soccer player, a wealth manager, a motivational speaker, and more. Although an exact finale date and episode count haven't been announced, each season of Love Island UK usually lasts around eight weeks, so we expect the show to wrap up later this summer.
Whether you're a longtime Love Island fan or looking to tune in for the first time, we've got you covered. Different countries drop the premiere episode on different dates, and we've broken down everything you need to know.
