Additional Islanders will be introduced and announced as the season progresses. Host Arielle Vandenberg and narrator Matthew Hoffman return with the all-new cast of quarantined singles shooting in a sequestered “bubble” at the Cromwell, a Caesars Entertainment boutique hotel in Las Vegas. LOVE ISLAND features a group of single “Islanders” who come together in a stunning setting, ready to embark on a summer of love, friendships and, ultimately, relationships. Every few days, the Islanders must couple up – those who fail to find a partner to couple up with risk being dumped from the island. Islanders are on the lookout for romance, but the road to love doesn’t always run smoothly. Challenges abound with new Islander arrivals and dramatic twists as friendships and relationships form. In addition to choosing their partners wisely, Islanders must also win the hearts of viewers who have the opportunity to shape events on screen and ultimately crown one lucky couple the winner, who will then have the chance to walk away with both love and the cash prize.
