Love Island 2023 Summer Series release date announced. Details here

The time has come once again to step foot into the Love Island villa, despite it only being a few months since the previous season. This year brings an exciting twist, as the show will feature both a winter and summer edition, each hosted by Maya Jama in different locations. The winter season unfolded in a villa situated in South Africa, while the summer season will adhere to tradition by taking place in Majorca. With a fresh batch of singletons eager to find love and reach the ultimate goal of making it to the final, the stage is set for another captivating season.

After a prolonged period of anticipation with no Love Island updates, the show's return date has finally been announced. The upcoming season is scheduled to commence on Monday, June 5 2023, at 9pm on ITV2.

While details about the contestants entering the villa for this new season are still under wraps, they will undoubtedly aspire to follow in the footsteps of the winter season's victors, Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan. This dynamic duo successfully clinched the £50,000 prize, although they eventually decided to go their separate ways.


During a conversation with RadioTimes.com, Sam Thompson, an Aftersun panellist and Love Island podcast host, shared his thoughts on the upcoming season and expressed his desire for a particular ex-islander to make a return, similar to Adam Collard's comeback in 2022.

Sam remarked, "I thought Adam Collard was a fantastic choice for a return. It added that extra bit of excitement. Although he didn't live up to my expectations entirely, I was hoping for a bit more of his trademark Adam Collard charm!"

"If I had the opportunity to bring someone back, I would choose someone who had a captivating presence. It would be incredibly entertaining to see someone like Chris Hughes return to the Love Island villa. I believe that would bring an incredible dynamic to the show!"
