Love Island: All Stars Season 3 Is Back in Production After South Africa Wildfires, Premiere Date on Peacock Announced
Love Island: All Stars has resumed production after being temporarily halted.
The British reality series was forced to evacuate its villa due to wildfires in South Africa, which put filming on hold.
Now back on track, Love Island: All Stars is set to premiere in the UK on ITV on Thursday, January 15, followed by its debut on Peacock on Saturday, January 17. The show was originally scheduled to air on January 12 in the UK and January 14 on the NBCU streaming platform.
Host Maya Jama confirmed the return to production via a social media post, stating, “We’re back up and running.”

ITV issued a statement regarding the evacuation, underscoring the safety of both cast and crew. “Further to a production evacuation owing to ongoing wildfires in the area, our assessment of the location site has concluded that filming will need to be postponed,” they reported last week. “Health and safety is our greatest priority and will always come first, and therefore the transmission of Love Island: All Stars will be delayed until a date to be confirmed.”
The series consistently films close to its air date to allow for an interactive experience where UK viewers influence events inside the villa.
This season features former Islanders returning for another chance at love, including Whitney Adebayo (Season 10), Millie Court (Season 7), Belle Hassan (Season 5), Helena Ford (Season 12), Jess Harding (Season 10), Leanne Amaning (Season 6), Ciaran Davies (Season 11), Jack Keating (Season 8), Sean Stone (Season 11), Tommy Bradley (Season 12), Charlie Frederick (Season 4), and Shaq Muhammad (Season 9).
The series is produced by ITV Studios’ Lifted Entertainment and WPP’s Motion Entertainment, with executive production by Sophie Bush, Lewis Evans, Oliver Head, Louise Walls, and Martin Oxley.
