Wildfires Strike ‘Love Island: All Stars’—Is This Fiery Drama Just the Beginning or a Season Finale in Disguise?

Added on January 10, 2026 inTV News Cards

So, here we are, another cosmic curveball! Love Island: All Stars Season 3—originally set to heat up our screens in January—is hitting pause, thanks to some pretty fierce wildfires blazing through South Africa, the show’s backdrop for all the villa drama. I mean, talk about the universe throwing shade right when those islanders were gearing up for love and lashings of chaos. With Mars squaring off against unpredictable Uranus this week, maybe it’s a sign that nothing, not even reality TV, is immune to a little cosmic mayhem. Production’s been evacuated, and now we’re left wondering: will the sparks between these returning contestants burn as bright once filming resumes? Cast includes fan faves like Whitney Adebayo, Millie Court, and Shaq Muhammad, so the villa’s definitely not short on ego and energy. Health and safety’s numero uno here—that’s the responsible adult voice that even the stars gotta respect. So, while we wait for a new premiere date to drop, maybe it’s time to ponder—can love really blossom when the universe itself seems to conspire against it? Intrigued? Dive deeper into the twists and turns behind the scenes right here: LEARN MORE

Love Island: All Stars season three will be delayed.

On Saturday, Love Island’s Instagram account announced that production had been evacuated due to wildfires in South Africa, where the show is filmed. The announcement also revealed that the premiere date would be moved — just one day after it was confirmed that the season was set to debut on Wednesday, Jan. 14. The show is known to film close to its air date in order to capture real-time drama in the villa.

“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,” the post reads. “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.”

All Stars is a U.K. spinoff from the original reality TV dating series Love Island that follows islanders looking for a chance at love. Maya Jama is returning as this season’s host, with the season taking place over six weeks. It was extended for another week this season, instead of the usual five.

Cast members returning to the villa for All Stars include 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 last season of Love Island USA was the most successful series in the franchise yet — it was the most-watched streaming original series in the U.S. at certain points during last summer.
