Season chronology

The eleventh series of Love Island, known and promoted as Love Island: All-Stars, is set to begin broadcasting on 15 January 2024 with the launch episode airing across both ITV and ITV2 for the first time in the show's history.[1][2] It is set to feature former contestants from previous series.[3][4] Maya Jama will return to present the series, with Iain Stirling again returning as narrator.[5][6]

Production

In August 2023, after ITV had aired two series of Love Island in the same year for the first time, it was reported that the winter series had been axed for 2024 and that an "All-Stars" version was set to serve as its replacement.[7] Several rumours of an "All-Stars" series being in development had been reported in various news outlets.[8] In September 2023, the commissioning of Love Island: All-Stars was officially announced by ITV.[9][10] The show will be filmed in the same villa as the ninth series in Franschhoek, South Africa and is set to feature a line-up consisting of former contestants from the previous ten series.[11][12] The programme has included returning contestants before, with Adam Collard, who was a contestant on the fourth series and Kady McDermott who was a contestant on the second series returning as "bombshells" in the eighth and tenth series of the show respectively.[13][14] This series will be the first to feature a line-up consisting of only returning contestants.[15][16]

The first teaser for the series aired in December 2023, during the final of the twenty-third series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and featured a shadow of host Jama walking out onto a set dimly lit by spotlights, followed by a red curtain covering the screen accompanied by the show's theme tune, which revealed the new Love Island: All Stars.[17][18] Further trailers were released throughout the month, the first of which featured Jama being fitted into a dress and having hair spray applied accompanied by the song "The Second Time Around" by Frank Sinatra before speaking the words "it's happening" whilst a full-length trailer included Jama teasing the return of former islanders with the tagline "Who will be back for amor[e]?".[19][20] Following the announcement of the returning contestants, a further trailer featuring the cast posing on a red carpet began broadcasting across ITV channels.[21] The series is set to begin on 15 January 2024, with a launch episode that will air simultaneously on ITV1 and ITV2 for the first time in the show's history.[22]
