Love Island’s social media platforms made the announcement on the morning of Tuesday, September 5. The post was captioned: “The rumours are true! #LoveIsland: All Stars is coming soon…”

Legendary Islanders from the former series of Love Island will each attempt to find love once again as they crack on in a bid to couple up and avoid being dumped from the villa. Relationships will be put to the test as bombshells enter and heads turn leaving some lovestruck hopefuls heartbroken in the ultimate quest for love. As the couples explore their connections and attempt to win the hearts of each other and the nation, only one pair will be crowned the winners of Love Island: All Stars 2024.
Mike Spencer, creative director at Lifted Entertainment, said of the new series: “It has been rumoured now for a while but we are thrilled to finally confirm that we are making Love Island: All Stars early next year for ITV2 and ITVX. It’s set to be a must watch series seeing some of your favourite Islanders from across the years heading back to the stunning South African villa to once again ‘graft’ as their search for love continues. I simply can’t wait!”
Meanwhile, Paul Mortimer, director of reality commissioning and acquisitions and controller of ITV2 and ItvBe, added: “After 10 ratings busting seasons of Love Island on ITV2, we’re delighted to be able to celebrate a decade of the number one dating show on television with the first ever series of Love Island: All Stars. Set in our luxurious South African Villa, I know the audience will welcome back some of the most iconic UK Islanders, as they set out in pursuit of love all over again in a brand new version of our worldwide hit.”
The news comes just months after the 2023 series ended – and already many of the couples have split since leaving the villa together. You can find out which of the contestants are still loved up and which have parted ways in our article here.
