EXCLUSIVE: Love Island is a rare entertainment format to break through years after launch

Love Island is a rare entertainment format to break through years after its launch in the U.S. The show has been buoyed by a new host in Ariana Madix , one of the stars of Vanderpump Rules .

Peacock already launched a spinoff, Love Island Games and David George , who runs ITV America , is keen to create an even bigger Love Island universe.

ITV America is looking to replicate this volume model with other titles including a take on British reality series I’m A Celebrity .

Hell’s Kitchen was renewed for a two-season order in March , taking it through to its 24th season .

The company is also behind Worst Roommate Ever , the Netflix docuseries that was recently renewed for second season.

George said ITV America has sold its first original show to its parent broadcaster ITV and its first original in Australia as well. “We should be pitching anywhere that you could potentially sell an idea and retain rights, you’ve never heard U.S. people talk about that before. It doesn’t mean buyers aren’t going to listen to the foreign stuff but we have to be at the table to create those types of ideas,” he added. Best of Deadline .
