The U.K.'s 'Love Island' Is Coming to America
If you haven't been watching Love Island, you're missing out on a whole lot of quality trashy television. For those who don't know, Love Island is a show in the United Kingdom that's like Bachelor in Paradise on steroids. With seasons that clock in at 50 hour-long episodes, it's a big commitment, but it's one with a huge payoff because you'll finally be able to understand the viral memes and GIFS from the show. But for those who were begging for an American version, rest easy because it's finally happening!
ITV2's Love Island is officially coming to America, thanks to CBS, which means a select group of Americans will have to couple up on the show or face elimination and get kicked off whatever island CBS decides to send them to. The show also lets viewers choose who gets to stay to find love and who wins the nearly $65,000 prize, which makes it feel like the American Idol version of Bachelor in Paradise.
Since the women on the U.K. show are walking Missguided and PrettyLittleThing models, it's only fitting that the American version should include a ton of trendy Fashion Nova fits, right!?
Sharon Vuong, the senior vice president of alternative programming at CBS, said, "We're thrilled that ITV has partnered with us to bring their most successful show to American television. Having seen the reaction of audiences across the pond and around the world to this most recent season, we expect American viewers will be captivated by this engaging format."
There's no word on when the American series will premiere, but past U.K. seasons are available to stream on Hulu.
