Summer’s officially winding down — but don't get too bummed out, because things on screen are just beginning to heat up. That’s right, Love Island is back.
Everyone's fave cheeky match-making show is returning for its eighth season with a brand-new villa, fit islanders and more drama on the stunning island of Majorca.
The show kicks off on September 5, and the only way Canadians can stream Love Island is with a Hayu subscription. For just $5.99 per month — literally, the cost of an oat-milk latte — you’ll be set for your next reality TV binge. Bonus: there’ll be new episodes to stream from Monday to Saturday.
To celebrate the iconic dating show’s return, Narcity asked its readers why they love to watch Love Island — with predictably hilarious results.
Yup, a whopping 35% admitted they love LI because they’re single AF (relatable). And, since Canadians don’t have the witty rapport down quite like the Brits do, 17% of poll respondents reported that their fave part of the show is the banter.
Another 11% tune in for the fit islanders — valid. That 11% will be happy to hear that this year’s cast is super easy on the eyes (wink), and you can get a sneak peek below.
That leaves 37% of Narcity readers who revealed they live for Casa Amor drama (real ones know it’s pretty much the main reason to watch).
Whether you’re the kind of viewer who holds their breath ‘til a bombshell walks through the doors to wreak havoc or you’re the one screaming at the TV for the winner to steal the £50k — this season’s got a lot in store for you.
Hayu subscribers can tune into Love Island for gorgeous Brits, blossoming friendships and lots of messiness. (Surprise, surprise: Narcity readers reported that all the messiness is a big part of why they watch reality TV in general.)
Whether you're a diehard fan with an LI group chat or you’re just starting the franchise, Canadians can stream seasons one through seven on Hayu and watch the series the Brits can’t stop raving about.
Bonus: newbies can learn where some of the key catchphrases, like "it is what it is," "crack on, hun," and "I'm loyal" come from.
