Season chronology

Format

Love Island is a reality television program in which a group of contestants, who are referred to as "Islanders", are living in a villa in Las Vegas. The Islanders are cut off from the outside world and are under constant video surveillance. To survive in the villa, the Islanders must be in a relationship with another Islander. The Islanders couple up for the first time on first impressions but they are later forced to "re-couple" at special ceremonies in which they can choose to remain with their current partners or to switch partners. At the villa, the couples must share a bed for sleeping and are permitted to talk with other Islanders at any time, allowing them to get to know everyone. While in the villa, each Islander has his or her own telephone, with which they can contact other Islanders via text and can receive text messages informing them of the latest challenges, dumpings, and re-couplings. The Islanders are presented with many games and challenges that are designed to test their physical and mental abilities, after which the winners are sometimes presented with special prizes, such as a night at the Hideaway or a special date.

Islanders can be eliminated, or "dumped", for several reasons; these include remaining single after a re-coupling and by public vote through the Love Island mobile app. During the show's final week, members of the public vote to decide which couple should win the series; the couple who receive the most votes win.

At the envelope ceremony on finale night, the couple who received the highest number of votes from the public receive two envelopes, one for each partner. One envelope contains $100,000 and the other contains nothing. The partner with the $100,000 envelope may choose whether to share the money with his or her partner as a test of trust and commitment.

After they enter the villa, the five men picks which woman they want to be paired with. To help the men chose, the women step forward if they feel an attraction. Immediately after, Johnny enters the villa; he is told that in 24 hours, he can steal one of the women. After the couples are created, the Islanders are able to mingle until they eventually go to bed. On Day 2, Johnny tries to make connections with the women. That night, Johnny receives a text announcing it is time for him to pick his partner. At the re-coupling, Johnny picks Cely, leaving Tre single.

Production

CBS initially announced on February 14, 2020 the second season would premiere on May 21, 2020.[38] The second season was subsequently placed on hold with a new season premiere date to be determined after the network announced on April 7 they would launch CBS Sunday Movie for a five-week run starting on May 3 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[39] An article from The Hollywood Reporter on April 7, 2020 noted that CBS would be without new seasons of Big Brother and Love Island during the summer. Unnamed sources to the publication said the network would rely on repeats of their scripted shows that "have historically repeated well."[40] Kelly Kahl, President of CBS Entertainment, said the network was "optimistic" about airing both shows during the summer "a little later than usual" in an interview with Deadline Hollywood on May 19, 2020.[41]

CBS revealed on July 23, 2020 that the next season of Big Brother would premiere on August 5 with new protocols to protect the cast and crew from COVID-19.[42] The day prior, Vulture reported that pre-production has started on the second season of Love Island.[43] Filming for the second season took place at The Cromwell in Las Vegas instead of an international destination like with season one due to international travel restrictions related to COVID-19. The network and ITV required everyone involved with the show to undergo quarantine prior to the beginning of production.[43]

Notes

• ^Note 1 :   Johnny entered after the initial coupling and was told that after twenty-four hours he'd be allowed to steal a girl from another guy.
• ^Note 2 :       America voted for the most compatible couples, with the three couples with the most votes being safe. The 3 saved couples then had to collectively save one more couple. The saved couples saved Connor & Mackenzie, leaving Kierstan & Carrington, and Lauren & Tre vulnerable. The four saved boys then had to decide which vulnerable woman to dump from the villa, choosing Lauren, and the 4 saved girls had to decide which vulnerable man to dump from the villa, choosing Tre.
• ^Note 3 :   As the final part for the Casa Amor twist in week 3, Casa Amor and the villa held two separate re-coupling ceremonies for the original islanders to chose whether to return to their previous partner or pick any new partner. Any of the 10 new islanders that remained single by the end of either ceremony was dumped from the villa. However, if one of the 10 original islanders remained single at the end of both ceremonies, they would still remain in the villa, but as a single islander. GiNiele, Faith, Mercades, Mike, Pat and De'Andre remained single at the end the night, and were all dumped from the villa.
• ^Note 4 :     America voted for the most compatible couples, with the four couples with the most votes being safe. The boys from the 4 saved couples then had to collectively save one more girl and the saved girls had to save one more boy. The boys saved Laurel and the girls saved Carrington.
