‘Love Island UK’ Release Schedule—When Do New Episodes Come Out On Hulu?

Another dramatic season of Love Island UK has arrived in the U.S. following its premiere on Thursday, June 12. Wondering when new episodes will drop on the streaming platform? The release schedule can be a bit confusing due to the slight U.S. delay, but don’t worry – we’ve laid it out clearly for you below.

Host Maya Jama is back to host the O.G. reality dating show in the popular Love Island franchise, and she’ll be joined by narrator Iain Stirling (who is also narrating Love Island USA this summer). In honor of 10 years of Love Island UK, a new group of singles is heading to a luxurious villa in Mallorca, Spain, to live together and, ultimately, find a partner.

Over eight weeks, the couples pair up and must re-couple throughout the series to avoid elimination. At any given moment, new “bombshells” can enter the villa to shake up existing relationships. Oh, and the public also has a say on who stays and goes – and which couple will split the hefty £50,000 cash prize.
