The Sizzling Summer Series LOVE ISLAND Returns to CTV, Beginning August 24

TORONTO, ON (August 5, 2020) – What happens in Vegas is for viewers to enjoy as CTV announces the return of international reality sensation LOVE ISLAND for its second season, kicking off with a two-hour premiere on Monday, Aug. 24 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and everywhere CTV content can be found. Following the premiere, episodes air nightly for five weeks on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays (check local listings for broadcast details) at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and everywhere CTV content can be found. LOVE ISLAND episodes become available on Saturdays on Crave and E! at 1 p.m. ET beginning Aug. 29. Host Arielle Vandenberg and narrator Matthew Hoffman return with an all-new cast of quarantined sexy singles shooting in a sequestered “bubble” at the Cromwell, a Caesars Entertainment boutique hotel in Las Vegas. The new cast will be announced closer to the premiere. 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.
