Love Island All Stars Plans Extended Third Series 2026 South Africa

Love Island: All Stars has been confirmed to return for a third series in early 2026, set in South Africa and extended to a six-week run instead of five. The spin-off, which features popular Islanders from the past decade seeking love again, has become a standalone hit with over 2 billion streams and a strong following among 16-34-year-olds. Previous winners like Molly Smith and Tom Clare, and couples such as Sophie Piper and Josh Ritchie, have found lasting relationships through the show. The announcement comes ahead of the finale of the 12th series of the main Love Island show, which fans praised for its dramatic twists and turns. Creative Director Mike Spencer-Hayter and ITV’s Commissioning Editor Amanda Stavri expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming series, highlighting the show's continued popularity and the excitement of bringing back fan-favorite Islanders. Despite some complaints about behavior on the show, Love Island: All Stars remains a central fixture in ITV's reality lineup.
