Love Island Is Temporarily Canceled, Providing Opportunity to Catch Up On All 300 Hours of Love Island

Love Island, the sexy English reality television show where strangers are forced to couple up based on nothing, has been temporarily canceled. According to the Guardian, ITV’s director of television Kevin Lygo has decided that the show could not continue during this period of social distancing. “We have tried every which way to make Love Island this summer but logistically it’s just not possible to produce it in a way that safeguards the wellbeing of everyone involved,” he said in a statement. “We are very sorry for fans of the show but making it safely is our prime concern and Love Island will be back stronger than ever in 2021.”

As a one-time Love Island devote, I take this to be good news—now new fans of the series and curious parties alike can use the hiatus to catch up on nearly 300 hours of the show. That’s six seasons, not including international spinoffs: a season in the U.S., three seasons in Germany, two seasons in Australia, a season in Sweden and France… the list goes on. Even with Love Island off the air until 2021, there’s still so much Love Island to watch.
