It’s only been a few days since Love Island 2018 wrapped up, but it looks like there could be a lot more of it – and soon.
Monday night’s finale saw longtime favourites Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer win the £50,000 prize.
And, if you’re not able to get enough of Love Island, the Australian version recently kicked off over here, too.
Now it looks like the ITV2 series’ record-breaking viewing stats from Monday’s finale could be the the thing that would see Love Island head stateside.
Yes, that’s right: according to new reports, the popular summer series is “on the verge” of being remade in the United States.
Deadline report that ITV America – who are also the folks behind Netflix’s Queer Eye reboot – are keen to make the series after Love Island UK recently landed over there (and people have been loving it).
The publication reports that ITV America had previously sold Love Island to MTV, but things fell through after there was a management shakeup.
Mike Beale, who oversees the global roll out out of the company’s formats, said:
“For us, it’s about finding the right place. It’s a very different offering to anything else America has done before, even in this dating environment.
“We talk about the key elements being the event, the stripped nature and multiple platforms so getting that right is important and that’s tricky.
“We’re definitely working on it.”
