Fans of Love Island UK hoping to return to the villa this week will have to wait a little longer. The highly anticipated Season 3 of Love Island: All Stars has been postponed indefinitely after South African wildfires forced production to evacuate the villa. Safety concerns for the cast and crew have taken priority, leaving the show’s premiere date open-ended for now.
Here’s why Love Island UK: All Stars Season 3 has been delayed indefinitely
The third season of Love Island UK: All Stars has been pushed back as wildfires tear through South Africa’s Western Cape, where the villa is set up. Evacuations were ordered across the region, and thick smoke plus strong winds made it tough for firefighters, blocking travel and access to key filming spots.
“Further to a production evacuation owing to ongoing wildfires in the area, our assessment of the location site has concluded that filming will need to be postponed,” an England ITV spokesperson told Entertainment Weekly. ITV also confirmed that after assessing the site, it wasn’t safe to keep filming. “Health and safety is our greatest priority and will always come first,” the rep added.
The season was supposed to kick off on ITV on Monday, with U.S. streaming on Peacock starting Wednesday. In the meantime, ITV2 and ITVX are airing Love Island: A Decade of Love, a special celebrating 10 years of the show. Fans can revisit that while waiting for the new season to finally hit.
When Love Island: All Stars hits screens in the future, it’ll bring back fan-favorite contestants still hunting for love. Early arrivals include Charlie Frederick, Leanne Amaning, Millie Court, Jack Keating, Shaq Muhammad, Ciaran Davies, and Sean Stone. Tommy Bradley and Helena Ford from Season 12 have also made it to the lineup.
Fans can expect fiery drama, surprise bombshell entrances, and emotional romance journeys, all building toward crowning the season’s ultimate winning couple.
