Love Island US looks set to arrive on Irish television and oh my Christ

After the UK and Australian versions, there’s even more for Love Island fans.

There’s going to be even more shifting and/or riding for us all because CBS have announced plans to create a U.S. version of Love Island.

Incredible.

The Hollywood Reporter state that the network has secured the rights for an American version of the dating show and ITV Entertainment will also be producing it for CBS.

“As a format, Love Island breaks the mould with high levels of viewer interactivity and participation that influence the content of the show in a way that’s extremely addictive. It’s a cultural phenomenon that builds anticipation with every episode and creates appointment viewing — a pretty hard thing to do in today’s TV landscape. We’re ecstatic the show has found a home at CBS and look forward to working collaboratively to engage its millions of viewers,” said David George, CEO of ITV America.

While no official broadcast plans have been announced with regards to the show airing in Ireland, we’re supremely confident that it’s going to be shown here.

Given the fact that the Australian version of the show was aired on these shores, it appears that the Love Island take over is showing no signs of slowing down.

Yep, loads of shifting and/or riding.
