Temptation Island to air in the UK

Temptation Island is heading to UK audiences.

“Temptation Island is addictive and unmissable, and we can’t wait to launch it on Sky this summer. If you’re a fan of reality TV and entertainment, then this is your next must-watch show.”  – Zai Bennett, Managing Director of Content at Sky

Sky and pop culture brand E! Entertainment Television has acquired the first two series’ of Temptation Island from Banijay Rights, for the UK and Ireland.

Hosted by Mark L. Walberg and produced by Banijay Studios North America, the hit stateside production will follow four dating couples who test the strength of their relationships as they move to an exotic island alongside a group of sexy singletons in search of love.

What could possibly go wrong? All episodes of Season One will be available from Sunday 4th August.

Temptation Island is, Sky say, ‘the ultimate test of faithfulness, following four couples at a pivotal time in their relationships, where they must decide if they’re ready to commit to each other for the rest of their lives – or go their separate ways.’ Together, the couples travel to the tropical paradise of Hawaii, where they join 24 eligible men and women and live the ‘single life,’ in the ultimate test of commitment.

The series heads to UK screens following the success of a revamped Love Island for ITV2, the show has been branded more ‘Sh*g Island’ than a place of love, which has proved a hit with twenty-somethings.

“Revived, revamped, relaunched and now recommissioned, Temptation Island is the definitive ratings-busting reality series, which pushed USA Network’s slot average up by 68%. Putting couples to the ultimate test, the show provides equal parts drama and entertainment, and is sure to strike a chord with the reality-loving E! audience.” – Chris Stewart, Commercial Director, Scripted at Banijay Rights
