Love Island: All Stars 2026 is set to bring back some of the most memorable islanders from the past decade for another chance at love. The new series, hosted by Maya Jama, will run for six weeks in the South African villa, longer than the usual five, with producers promising plenty of twists and turns.
The opening lineup includes former winners, runners-up, and bombshells. Among them is Jessy Potts, who turned heads in series 11 and coupled up with Joey Essex before their split in September 2024. Harrison Solomon, who entered series 12 as a bombshell and left with Lauren Wood, returns after their breakup last November.
American stars also feature prominently. Imani Wheeler, who appeared in Love Island USA and Love Island Games, is back, as is Zac Woodworth, whose previous stint lasted only three days. Kyra Lizama, a runner-up in her debut season, and Yamen Sanders, an original from series one, complete the US contingent.
Other returnees include Sher, who lasted just ten days in her first appearance, and Carrington Rodriguez, a fourth-place finisher from Love Island USA. Lucinda Strafford, who has appeared on multiple versions of the show and won Love Island Games, is also confirmed. Curtis Pritchard, known for his dramatic dumping of Amy Hart and his recent romance with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, returns, alongside AJ Bunker, who entered late in her previous series.
The cast will live together in the villa, hoping to find lasting connections. With a mix of familiar faces and new dynamics, Love Island All Stars 2026 promises to be a dramatic and entertaining season.
