News Image
ITV has confirmed that during 2020 there will be two series of Love Island on ITV2.

Love Island is the most watched programme of the year for adults aged 16-34, across any channel.

The show has hit new heights in its fifth series this summer, breaking the 6 million viewers mark for the first time, in terms of four-screen consolidated viewing.

There have been over two billion impressions on Twitter so far this series, and the Love Island account has over 3 million instagram followers.

In early 2020 Love Island will be back in an all new location, with the first series of the year bringing the sunshine to viewers at home from a brand new villa in South Africa.

The summer series will then return to Europe for a summer of love closer to home.

Paul Mortimer, Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions at ITV said: "Off the back of a record-breaking year, we're delighted to be bringing an extra series of our biggest and sunniest show to the 2020 schedule. Love Island has proven yet again to be the perfect format that engages younger audiences. In response to this viewer appetite, a new batch of young singletons will deliver some highly anticipated post-Christmas romance and drama from our new and luxurious location."

Love Island UK is produced by ITV Studios Entertainment and Motion Content Group.
