Just what we needed, more Love Island.

Love Island USA will debut its fourth season today, so here’s everything you need to know ahead of its launch.
The US version of the hit dating series is about to land on streaming service Peacock with 10 brand-new islanders set to enter the villa.
Instead of Majorca, the hopefuls will jet off to the sunshine coast of California, in an attempt to find love.
The spin-off of the UK series began back in 2019, and Zac Mirabelli and Elizabeth Weber won the first season.
They secured the cash prize of $100,000 (£71,000) with Justine Ndiba and Caleb Corprew winning the second.
Last year’s season three was won by Korey Gander and Olivia Kaiser, but the pair split up after three months of dating.
But will any of the islanders manage to find love, and walk away with the prize pot?
When does Love Island USA start?
The new series will premiere today, July 19, on Peacock.
It will air for six nights a week – following a similar pattern to the wildly popular UK series, which is currently showing on ITV2.
Who hosts Love Island USA?

This year’s season will be hosted by Sarah Hyland, who was announced for the programme earlier this month.
The Modern Family actress has replaced Arielle Vandenberg for the upcoming season, after the show made the move from CBS to Peacock.
Taking to Instagram, the 31-year-old made her announcement by posing in her bikini, while soaking in the sun on the back of a yacht, with a glass of wine in hand – making us all supremely jealous.
She captioned the upload: ‘I got a text!!!! And it’s a juicy one!
‘I can’t wait to be your new host of @loveislandusa #hostesswiththemostess #loveisabeach @peacocktv.’
Who narrates?

Fans of the UK series will be pleased to know that Iain Stirling is providing his signature Scottish wit for the series across the pond.
Jenny Groom, EVP of Entertainment Unscripted Content at NBCUniversal, confirmed that they had snapped the comedian up earlier this year.
‘The moment the decision was made to bring an all-new version of Love Island to Peacock, we knew we had to get Iain on board,’ she said.
‘Iain embodies everything fans love about the show — humor, irreverence and cheeky fun. Love Island would not be the same without him.’
