Which countries have their own Love Island?
Love Island UK
The mothership. The blueprint. The reason half the internet spends the summer glued to Twitter/X. Love Island UK first strutted onto our screens in 2015 and has since evolved into a full-blown pop culture empire, sticking with ITV2 throughout. Narrator Iain Stirling has been there from day one, his sarcasm now as essential to the villa as firepit chats and questionable “can I pull you for a chat?” lines. Over the years, the villa has been helmed by three hosts: Caroline Flack, Laura Whitmore, and the current queen, Maya Jama. It’s delivered us some of reality TV’s most famous faces — Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Zara McDermott (yes, Louis Tomlinson’s new girlfriend) — plus a lot of scandals: Ofcom complaints, tabloid chaos, and heartbreaking losses. Messy? Yes. Iconic? Always.

Love Island USA
The U.S. sibling had a slightly awkward start back in 2019 — think: gorgeous contestants, meh ratings. However, in Season 4, things started to improve for Love Island USA. That’s when the show moved from CBS to Peacock, traded host Arielle Vandenberg for Modern Family’s Sarah Hyland, and swapped narrator Matthew Hoffman for — you guessed it — Iain Stirling. By Season 6, Vanderpump Rules’ Ariana Madix was hosting, and the drama reached all-time highs, with NSFW antics spilling into Season 7. The U.S. version has a looser, meme-ready vibe, leaning into viral moments that have TikTok in a chokehold. It’s the Love Island you watch for the chaos as much as the chemistry.
How many seasons of Love Island USA are there? Seven.
Love Island Australia
The wild card of the franchise, and we mean wild. It might not dominate ratings like the U.K. or U.S. versions, but Love Island Australia has the internet in a headlock with its memeable moments. We’ve had exes entering the villa uninvited, twin bombshells, and full-on rows sparked by a little under-the-table footsie. Filming locations have been as far-flung as Mallorca, Fiji, and Byron Bay. Sophie Monk has hosted every season (national treasure), while Eoghan McDermott narrated most — except Season 3 when Stephen Mullan stepped in. If you want mess with an Aussie accent, this is your binge.

Love Island Albania
Albania is fast becoming a go-to tropical holiday hotspot, so it’s no surprise the Love Island franchise dipped its toes into those crystal-clear waters. Sadly, the villa antics didn’t make waves for long — the show lasted just one season before cancellation. Broadcast on TV Klan, it was narrated by Genti Deçka and hosted by Luana Vjollca. Short-lived, yes, but two lucky winners did leave loved-up… for a while.
How many seasons of Love Island Albania are there? One.
Love Island Canada
Canada’s big, but this one’s specific to Quebec. Broadcast on TVA and rebranded as L’île de l’amour, the French-language edition launched in 2021 with Naadei Lyonnais hosting and Mehdi Bousaidan narrating for the first two seasons. By Season 3, Olivier Dion and Geneviève Schmidt had taken over. Same villa drama, just avec un petit accent.
How many seasons of Love Island Canada are there? Three.
Love Island Czech Republic & Slovakia
One of only two Love Island editions to unite two countries for a shared villa experience. Broadcast on TV Nova (CZ) and TV Markíza (SK), the combined fanbase has kept it thriving since its 2021 debut. Václav Matějovský has narrated every season, while Zorka Hejdová took over hosting from Nikol Moravcová after Season 1. The fifth season is currently airing — and yes, people are hooked.
How many seasons of Love Island Czech Republic & Slovakia are there? Five.
Love Island Denmark
The Danish villa first opened its doors in 2018 on TV3, with Lisbeth Østergaard hosting and Dan Anderson narrating. But the show didn’t land with viewers, and it quietly disappeared after one season. Now, years later, it’s getting a second chance. Viaplay has revived it with actress Carla Mickelborg as host and a fresh narrator. The new season has only just launched — let’s see if the second time’s the charm.

Love Island Finland
Another franchise going strong! Love Island Suomi isn’t slowing down anytime soon — it’s already locked in for its sixth season in 2026. Over five seasons on Sub AVA, there’s been plenty of change-ups: three different hosts (Veronica Verho, Shirly Karvinen, and Niko Saarinen) and two narrators (Tomi Haustola and Riku Sottinen). Filming has taken place in gorgeous Spanish hotspots like Marbella and Estepona. Fun fact: The Finnish edition encourages fans to nominate friends via social media, and it’s broadcast at the very tail end of summer — the perfect way to cling to those last warm nights.
How many seasons of Love Island Finland are there? Five.
Love Island France
French may be the language of love, but this villa romance didn’t quite sweep the nation. Season 1 aired in 2020 on RTL-TVI with Nabilla Benattia hosting and Quentin Thebault narrating. For Season 2 in 2023, it moved to W9 with a new host (Delphine Wespiser) and narrator (Dycosh). Even with the glow-up, viewership never really caught fire — and Season 3 never materialized.
How many seasons of Love Island France are there? Two.
Love Island Germany
Germany has a knack for taking imported reality shows and making them their own (Germany’s Next Topmodel, anyone?). Love Island – Heiße Flirts & wahre Liebe has aired on RTL Zwei from the start, but it’s kept things fresh with host shake-ups and narrator swaps. Jana Ina helmed the first five seasons before Sylvie Meis took over, joined by Oliver Petszokat for the latest run. Christoph Kröger narrated Seasons 1 and 2 before Simon Beeck stepped in. After eight seasons, it’s taken a breather, but that’s partly to make room for the shiny new Love Island VIP.
How many seasons of Love Island Germany are there? Eight.
Love Island Greece
In 2022, Skai TV brought Love Island to Greece — with, we imagine, the blessing of Aphrodite herself. Hosted by Iliana Papageorgiou and narrated by Vangelis Giannopoulos, the season was filmed in Tenerife but hit a major snag when production was delayed due to extreme weather. Nothing like a storm to break up the slow burn. Season 1 eventually came, ended, and never returned again. So much for the Goddess of Love!

Love Island Hungary
A one-and-done villa romance. Love Island Hungary launched in 2019 on RTL Klub, hosted by Norbert Kamarás with narration from Ádám Gacsal. One season, one set of winners, and then… silence.

Love Island Italy
Love Island Italia only served us one season — but oh, what a delicious one. Airing on Discovery+ in 2021, it was hosted by Giulia De Lellis and, unusually, had no narrator at all. Maybe that’s why it didn’t stick around? We’re choosing to believe it’s just on a long siesta, plotting a Reputation-style comeback.

Love Island Malta
Fashionably late to the villa party, Love Island Malta did not disappoint. Season 1 launched in 2023, and in just two years, we’ve had two more drama-stuffed installments. Broadcast on TVM, Chucky Bartolo has narrated every season, while hosting duties passed from Yazmin Helledie to Giselle Spiteri for the most recent run.
How many seasons of Love Island Malta are there? Three.
Love Island Netherlands & Belgium
Two Dutch-speaking countries, one very busy villa. Love Island Nederland & België debuted on RTL 5 and ended two seasons later after a sexual assault scandal hit another RTL reality series, De Villa. From Season 3 onwards, it found a new home on Videoland. Holly Mae Brood and Viktor Verhulst have cohosted from the start, with narrators including Kaj van der Ree, Jeroen Verdick, and Sander Lantinga keeping things lively.
How many seasons of Love Island Netherlands & Belgium are there? Four.
Love Island Norway
Norway’s edition doesn’t stick to an annual schedule — but when it returns, it delivers. Season 1 premiered in 2018, Season 2 in 2020, Season 3 in 2024, and Season 4 in 2025. The show jumped from TV3 to TV2 after its debut, swapping host Tone Damli for Morten Hegseth — a rare male host in Love Island history. Alexandra Joner took over the role in Season 3 and has been holding it ever since. Narration also shifted after Season 1 from Rasmus Wold to Egil Skurdal. The settings vary too: Season 2 was filmed in Buenos Aires, but the rest have kept it closer to home in Gran Canaria. Bonus: Several couples are still together, and one winning pair are engaged.

Love Island Poland
One of the franchise’s biggest success stories, Love Island. Wyspa miłości has been heating up screens for nine seasons — the most recent wrapped just this summer. It’s switched networks (Polsat to TV4 from Season 7) and narrators (Krzysztof Unrug to Maciej Kasprzyk after Season 1), but Karolina Gilon has stayed queen of the villa the whole way through. She’s officially the longest-running host in Love Island history.
How many seasons of Love Island Poland are there? Nine.
Love Island Romania
Love Island România came, coupled up, and sadly ghosted us after just one season in 2023. Dragoș Răduță brought the banter as narrator, while Alina Ceușan hosted the proceedings. Two winners left with love and cash, but despite Romania’s solid fanbase for the U.K. original, the local edition never got a second date.

Love Island Spain
Locally known as Love Island España, this sun-soaked spinoff used Gran Canaria as its backdrop for romance. Popular presenter Cristina Pedroche hosted both seasons, airing on Neox from 2021 to 2022. Sadly, that’s all we got — but if any edition deserves a comeback, it’s this one.
How many seasons of Love Island Spain are there? Two.
Love Island South Africa
Instead of jetting off to Spain or Fiji, Love Island South Africa kept things local with a villa in Cape Town. Hosted by Leandie du Randt, its 2021 season was met with criticism for lackluster production and an almost entirely white cast. M-Net promised to fix both… but no future seasons materialized.
How many seasons of Love Island South Africa are there? One.
Love Island Sweden
Picture Love Island UK, but swap in a cast of mostly tall, glowing blondes. Love Island Sverige launched in 2018, took a long hiatus between 2019 and 2023, and is now gearing up for Season 5 in 2026. Narrated by Torbjörn Averås Skorup, it’s been hosted over the years by Malin Stenbäck, Julia Franzén, and Johanna Nordström.

What are the other Love Island spinoffs?
NA / Peacock
Love Island: All Stars
Think of it as Love Island’s answer to the Olympics — but instead of medals, the prize is love (and maybe a PrettyLittleThing deal). Love Island: All Stars brings back fan favorites from past U.K. seasons, such as Kaz Crossley and India Reynolds, for a second chance at coupling up. The catch? They already know each other from the influencer circuit, so egos and history make for maximum drama. Two seasons are out, and Season 3 is set to heat up in January 2026.
How many seasons of Love Island: All Stars are there? Two.
Love Island Games
If the regular series is about finding love, this is about winning and maybe finding love along the way. Love Island Games unites former Islanders from every edition worldwide for a non-stop challenge fest, with recouplings, eliminations, and wild competitions. Season 1 was hosted by Maya Jama (Love Island UK), Season 2 will see Ariana Madix (Love Island USA) take over, and of course, Iain Stirling narrates both. Season 2 is coming before the end of 2025.
How many seasons of Love Island Games are there? One – but soon to be two.
Love Island: Beyond the Villa
This isn’t your standard bikini-by-the-pool show. It’s the Love Island equivalent of “Where Are They Now?” Following the Season 6 Love Island USA cast as they navigate Los Angeles life, Beyond the Villa blends careers, fame, and relationship drama. Premiering on Peacock in July 2025, it even caught the real-time breakup of Kenny Rodriguez and JaNa Craig on camera. For fans who want the tea after the final firepit, this one’s unmissable.
