ITV confirms Love Island: All Stars release month
The highly anticipated All Stars season is just around the corner...
It's been a long time now that fans have called for an All Stars season of Love Island, and finally they are getting their wish, with a new outing of the show featuring favourite returning Islanders having been announced earlier this year.
Now, we also know which month the new show will be arriving with ITV having released a trailer announcing a January 2024 air date.
The teaser, which will be broadcast during this Sunday's broadcast of An Audience with Kylie and the I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! final, also confirms the return of Maya Jama as host.
You can watch the short teaser here.
We don't yet know any of the former Islanders who will be returning for the 2024 season, but Creative Director at production company Lifted Entertainment, Mike Spencer, previously told RadioTimes.com and other press that Maura Higgins is "so funny" and "amazing", and that he would "love to see her on it".

When the All Stars season was officially announced, he said: "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!”

This will be the third season of the show hosted by Jama, while she also hosted Love Island Games earlier this year, which aired on Peacock in the US.
That show saw fan favourite Islanders from across the globe, including the UK, USA and Australia, couple up and attempt to remain in the competition, while also taking on physical challenges to avoid being dumped from the show.
Love Island: All Stars is coming to ITV2 and ITVX in January 2024. You can watch all previous seasons of Love Island on BritBox – you can sign up for a 7-day free trial.
