The fan enthusiasm, as well as the creative execution for the show, made it a no brainer for CBS to renew Love Island USA for a second season. It is slated to hit the airwaves in the summer of 2020.
CBS did not mention if it will stick with the five-night a week for four-week schedule it did with the premiere season or if a new schedule will be created.
However, one reason fan engagement is so high is that the show airs so much. The frequency has kept viewers interested peaked.
There are only a handful of episodes left in the premiere season of Love Island USA. Next Wednesday, August 7th, one lucky couple will be crowned the winner of $100,000.
Yes, the islanders are not only on the reality TV show looking for love. There is also a nice cash prize at the end.
