LOVE Island is set to get an incredible international spin-off, starring US, UK and Australian Islanders.
The hit reality dating show will see a brand new series named Love Island Games bringing together Islanders from around the world to try and bag a second shot at love.
The fresh spin off of the hit show will see the stars take part in various challenges – both team and couples’.
They’ll also have to go through all the hurdles viewers are used to seeing, from dramatic recouplings to new arrivals and eliminations.
A telly insider told The Sun: “As Love Island UK is shown in the US – just like the American and Australian version are shown here on ITVX – almost all the Islanders are known to all audiences.
“There’s hundreds to choose from.”
The show will see a range of past Islanders sign up, with stars including Kaz Crossley and Theo Campbell already known to US audiences.
Love Island Games will launch on US TV network Peacock, with no current plans for the series to hop the pond to the UK just yet.
It’s set to be produced by ITV Entertainment and is based on a format owned by Lifted Entertainment and GroupM Motion Entertainment.
Dating show Love Island has roared to success after originally airing in the UK on ITV.
Currently, the show sees viewers enjoy both a summer and winter series, with not long to wait until a new season hits screens.
Insiders have told The Sun this year’s summer series of Love Island will begin on Monday June 5.
Maya Jama, 28, will be returning as host following her huge success on the winter version of the show.
This year’s intake of lovelorn singles will be flown out to Majorca next month and the winners will be staying in the luxurious villa for two whole months.
A source said: “Love Island will start on June 5, just as people are getting ready to enjoy their summers.
“ITV have already lined up the islanders who will be heading to the show’s villa in Majorca.
“The cast will fly out late next month ready for the show to begin in just eight weeks.
“It is hugely exciting and those working on the show cannot wait to get started.
“This series will be eight weeks long, meaning the couple who win the show will be in the villa for two months.
“Maya is chomping at the bit to get to work on this series too. Having her on board has given Love Island a real boost and it’s expected that ratings will soar.”
