Series 10

The eleventh series of Love Island began broadcasting on 3 June 2024, with the launch episode airing across both ITV1 and ITV2.[1][2] Maya Jama returned to present the series, as well as the companion show Love Island: Aftersun. Iain Stirling again returned as the show's narrator.[3][4]

Production

In August 2023, during the broadcasting of the tenth series, it was confirmed that Love Island would return for two series in 2024, the first of which was Love Island: All Stars, a spin-off series that aired earlier in the year between January and February, and featured former contestants from previous series.[5][6]

Applications for the eleventh series opened hours prior to the final episode of the tenth series.[7][8] The first teaser for the series aired in April 2024, depicting a person in a silver boiler suit using a flamethrower, accompanied by the words "This summer's going to be fire".[9][10] A further trailer released in May 2024, reveals the person to be presenter Maya Jama, who uses the flamethrower to set fire to a hanging heart before announcing the tagline "Where there's love, there's fire" and taking a sip from a Love Island water bottle which bares her name.[11][12] The companion show Love Island: Aftersun returned for this series, after being shelved for the All Stars series where the interviews were conducted during the show's broadcast.[13] The social media ban introduced as part of the new duty of care protocols in the ninth series returned, in which the contestants friends and family will not be able to post on their behalf while they're in the villa.[14][15][16] The eleventh series began on 3 June 2024 and was filmed in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, Mallorca.[17][18][19] Similar to the All Stars series, the launch episode aired simultaneously on both ITV1 and ITV2, with the remainder of the series broadcasting solely on the latter channel.[20][21]

The original Islanders for the eleventh series were announced on 27 May 2024, one week before the series launch.[22][23] Joey Essex entered the villa as a "bombshell" on the evening of Day 1, making him the first celebrity to appear on the revived version of the show.[24]
