Love Island: Aftersun returns to Elstree Studios

BBC Studioworks is providing studio and post production services for Love Island: Aftersun from its Elstree operations.

The nine-episode series sees Caroline Flack return for presenting duties alongside a panel of celebrity guests and a live studio audience to steer viewers through the events taking place at the Love Island villa.

The production will be broadcast live every Sunday night from Studioworks’ 11,800 sq. ft. studio, Elstree D, until early August and will involve live links to Mallorca via Skype. Produced by ITV Studios Entertainment and Motion Content Group for ITV2, this is the second consecutive year that Studioworks has facilitated the show.

The facilitation also includes the use of Studioworks’ onsite post production village for the UK-end of the VT and reversion editing for all of the Aftersun shows, whether live from Elstree or Mallorca.

Love Island follows hopeful singletons move in to a villa together for weeks on end in a bid to find love. Last year’s series, won by Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham, broke ITV2 records for the most-watched programme in the digital channel’s history. The series averaged 2.7 million viewers in overnight ratings, an increase of one million from 2017.
