Now a cultural phenomenon, the show begins with a group of sexy singles who couple up (sharing beds!), while their every move is monitored, Big Brother-style. Every few days, a re-coupling ceremony takes place and those who fail to find a partner risk being dumped from the island. Challenges abound with new Islander arrivals, all while viewers vote on who stays and who goes.
The first U.S. season of the show, set in Fiji and hosted by comedian Arielle Vandenberg, debuted July 9, with new one-hour episodes continuing every weeknight.
CBS announced last week that the network had renewed Love Island for a season 2.
Speaking to reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour, entertainment president Kelly Kahl said the audience is “comprised of people who don’t watch CBS” and is “our most-streamed show of the season, outpacing Big Brother, Survivor and even The Big Bang Theory,” Entertainment Weekly reported.
“The passion of Love Island‘s audience is incredible,” he added in a statement. “The intensity of their social media engagement has created tremendous enthusiasm for the series here at the network. We love the show’s creative execution and can’t wait for next season.”
