How to Watch Season 8 of ‘Love Island’ in the United States

Season 8 of the original Love Island has begun in the United Kingdom. Fortunately for American audiences, the reality dating series will soon be available in the United States. Hulu has renewed the season for US viewing, making it the go-to streaming destination for the ITV show. This is not to be confused with the new Love Island USA, which will premiere on Peacock in July.

Season 8 of Love Island premiered on ITV2 on June 6th. The show revolves around a group of singles who gather in a tropical villa in quest of love. Being single might get you kicked out of the villa in Mallorca, Spain, thus getting into a relationship is crucial in the series. No one wants to be kicked off when there’s a £50,000 cash reward on the line. The series has its own twists and turns, including “bombshells” designed to catch players off guard. In the end, only one couple will win.

Love Island Season 7 was won by Millie Court and Liam Reardon. So far in Season 8, Jay and Remi have piqued people’s interest. On Tuesday, June 21, fans in the United States will be able to catch up on the series when it premieres on Hulu. After June 21, new episodes will air everyday from Tuesday to Saturday, with Saturday recaps of “Unseen Bits” and “Aftersun.” Between when the episodes air in the United Kingdom and when they launch on Hulu, there’s about a two-week lag.

Iain Stirling has been the host of Love Island since Season 1, while Laura Whitmore (Sterling’s wife) has been the narrator since Season 1. Stirling will narrate Peacock’s Love Island USA, which premieres on Tuesday, July 19. It will be “even steamier” than its predecessor, according to the streamer.

“The moment the decision was made to bring an all-new version of Love Island to Peacock, we knew we had to get Iain on board,” Jenny Groom, EVP Entertainment Unscripted Content, NBCUniversal, said in a release. “Iain embodies everything fans love about the show – humor, irreverence, and cheeky fun. Love Island would not be the same without him .”

Love Island is a series of films set on the California coast in the United States. Beginning July 19, new episodes will be released six days a week. CBS broadcast the first two seasons of the American version. Hulu and Paramount+ both have those two seasons accessible for viewing.
