“Love Island: All Stars,” a spinoff of ITV’s “Love Island” format, has been confirmed by the U.K. broadcaster’s chiefs.
“Love Island” is a British dating game show format that has been on U.K. broadcaster ITV since 2015. The spinoff will see participants from previous seasons venture back into the South African villa where it is set for a second chance at finding love. “Love Island: All Stars” will bow in the new year. It is produced by Lifted Entertainment, part of ITV Studios, and GroupM Motion Entertainment.
The show’s peak years were from 2017 to 2019, when each episode would pull some 3.5 million viewers. However, the most recent iteration saw linear ratings plummet. It made a recovery with the finale, which was the most watched program for 16-34s on any channel and the series garnered 1.4 billion video views across all platforms. It amassed some 300 million streams on Itvx.

ITV has confirmed Love Island: All Stars, bringing together UK contestants from down the years for the first time.
The spin-off show will kick off in South Africa next year, with more information on the former ‘Islanders’ coming in due course.
Hosted by Maya Jama, Love Island has been airing for almost 10 years on IT2, bringing in gangbuster ratings and currently airing twice per year. Ratings have dipped slightly of late but bosses will be hoping the All Stars edition gives the show a boost.
“After 10 ratings busting seasons of Love Island on ITV2, we’re delighted to be able to celebrate a decade of the number one dating show on television with the first ever series of Love Island: All Stars,” said Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality Commissioning & Acquisitions and Controller, ITV2, ItvBe.

Exclusive: Itvx has recommissioned its first reality show since launching late last year: hybrid format Loaded in Paradise.
The 10-parter from The Reluctant Traveller indie Twofour follows a group of couples who race around Greece with €50,000 following the show’s mantra: ‘Live your best life, just don’t get caught’. Season two will remain in Greece but with a new route and new set of luxurious locations.
ITV said the show achieved a healthy share of young viewers – more than one-third were aged between 16 and 34 – when it aired last year on ITV2. In the overnight ratings, it performed in line with fellow ITV2 formats such as Ready to Mingle, but is a far cry from matching the channel’s best performer, Love Island.
Nonetheless, Loaded in Paradise has become new streamer Itvx’s first reality recommission since launch, as ITV seeks to buttress the platform with high-volume content. Premiere date has not yet been set.

The second season of “Love Island USA” is hitting the U.K. this fall.
The CBS series, which has this year relocated from Fiji to Las Vegas due to Covid-19, will debut on ITV2 from Sept. 7. Singles will occupy a “bubble” in a villa atop Caesars Entertainment’s boutique hotel The Cromwell.
Season 1 of the U.S. edition aired last year in late-night slots on ITV’s secondary family channel ITVBe. As such, the 9pm slot handed to the show’s second season on ITV2 marks a significant step up, although the impact of Covid-19 on the broadcaster’s schedule is likely to have played a part.
International versions of ITV Studios’ hit format have been a saving grace for the U.K. broadcaster, which was forced to pull the plug on the popular U.K. summer and winter editions of “Love Island” due to Covid-19 concerns around international production.

Keshet has scored a fifteen-part reality dating series for youth-skewing British broadcaster ITV2.
The Israeli company, hot on the heels of hosting its Intv conference in Jerusalem, is making Singletown through its UK production division.
The series, which will air later this year, will see five couples press pause on their relationships and spend one summer experiencing single life in London.
It is the latest Keshet project for ITV2, having previously produced Celebrity Showmance in 2017.
Each couple will have a different reason for putting their relationships on ice – from school sweethearts who’ve never dated other people, newer relationships that have hit the rocks, or two people who just want a summer of self-discovery before they settle down. The cameras will be there to capture the story of the ‘singletons’ living in luxury apartments in London and going to the hottest venues in town. They will then have to decide...

Former ABC exec and Jimmy Kimmel Live! executive producer Duncan Gray has won a social media-led challenge format for ITV2 fronted by two of the breakout stars of Love Island.
Gray’s Cineflix-backed production company Twenty Six 03 Entertainment is making You Vs. Chris and Kem, which will see the two Love Island hunks travel around the country in a series of ludicrous challenges. The pair will travel in a pimped out “bro-mobile” and will face challenges from viewers sending them via social media. They will need to decide whether to accept them without knowing the full extent of the challenge or their competitors until they arrive at their destination.
The format, which will air after an episode of this year’s Love Island, which starts Monday on ITV2, has already garnered interest internationally, with Gray telling Deadline that he is already in talks with broadcasters and producers in Germany and Australia over local versions.
