The US version of Love Island is switching to streaming service Peacock this summer, it has been announced.
The show has aired on network television via CBS for the last three years, drawing decent viewing figures, but now NBC has poached the show for Peacock in a two-year deal comprising more than 80 episodes.
The next season will debut this summer and in a statement, NBC promised that it would be "hotter than ever" with "naughtier games and steamier challenges".
Jenny Groom, NBC's evp for unscripted entertainment content, said: "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."
The original version airs on ITV2 in the UK.
