Love Island USA gets renewed for a third season: ‘We’re Saying Aloha to Hawaii’

Fans of the US version of Love Island can breathe a sigh of relief after the series was renewed for a third season by CBS.

The Love Island USA Instagram account shared the news Wednesday with a faux text message announcing the renewal.

‘I GOT A TEXT…Love Island is BACK for Season 3 and this time we’re saying aloha to Hawaii,’ the caption read.

The image featured a Google Maps image zoomed in on Hawaii, though it wasn’t clear where exactly in the island state the show would take place, as the island labeled ‘Love Island’ doesn’t exist.

‘Season 3 is coming soon,’ read the fake text seemingly sent from CBS, which added the hashtags, ‘#Aloha,’ ‘#BackOnIslandTime’ and ‘#ItsTheNewSeasonForMe.’

The renewal was also announced by CBS’ Senior Executive Vice President for Programming, Thom Sherman, during the network’s press tour event.

So far, no cast members for the upcoming season have been revealed, and a premiere date hasn’t been announced.

The first season of the American version of the popular UK reality competition was set in Fiji, but season two had to take up residence at The Cromwell hotel in Las Vegas as the competitors all quarantined amid the coronavirus pandemic.

CBS seems to be betting that they can safely put on the show in a more fitting location this time around, even though current estimates are that the US may not be able to achiever herd immunity through vaccinations until well into the fall.
