Love Island USA 2023 premiere date confirmed as first-look arrives
Love Island USA's season 5 premiere date has been unveiled – and it's not too far off.
The American version of the reality show began back in 2019, originally airing on CBS before moving to Peacock, and has also had a change of host throughout its run.
Viewers have now been given a first taste of the new series in a teaser narrated by Iain Stirling, which also reveals that the show will return on July 18. The new season will see audiences meet a new group of singles in Fiji who are searching for love.

The last season introduced Modern Family star Sarah Hyland as the new host, taking over the job from Arielle Vandenberg.
She came in as the show also moved to Peacock with its fourth season, Jenny Groom, EVP of Entertainment Unscripted Content, saying at the time: "Love Island is a highly addictive dating format that is primed for a streaming service like Peacock where we can push boundaries and bring viewers steamy and dramatic twists.

"The series took pop culture by storm after the UK format found fans across the world, and we are thrilled to be able to bring an all-new version to Peacock this summer anchoring our unscripted slate."
Back in April, it was also announced that the franchise will be getting a global spin-off called Love Island Games, which will feature memorable contestants from the UK, US and Australian versions as they come together to try and find love and win challenges.
The format has been described as a mix of Love Island and MTV's The Challenge, the latter of which pairs celebrities for a number of tough physical and mental tasks.
Love Island USA returns for season 5 on July 18 on Peacock. The UK series airs on ITV2 and streams on ITVX.
