Love Island 2024: Everything you need to know about the new series, villa and cast

The eleventh season of Love Island is set to hit screens tonight (Monday, June 3), promising a fresh batch of singletons ready to find love and stir up some drama for viewers. Maya Jama will be back as the host for the upcoming series, accompanied by a brand new cast and villa.

ITV confirmed last week that the new season will premiere on Monday, June 3, at 9pm. Love Island: Aftersun will also make a comeback, broadcasting live from London every Sunday on ITV2 and ITVX.

Maya Jama will host the show alongside a star-studded panel of regulars, following a brief break during the first Love Island: All Stars series. Sam Thompson and Indiyah Polack will return to their roles, joined by new panellists - former Love Island stars Amy Hart and Chris Taylor, and musician Jordan Stephens. They will team up with celebrity guests to discuss all the happenings from the Villa this summer.

Indiyah Polack will continue to host the Love Island: The Morning After podcast, joined by Amy Hart and Chris Taylor from Tuesday to Saturday - now available to watch visually for the first time ever. Together they will welcome a rotation of celebrity Love Island fans as well as the dumped Islanders fresh from the Villa to catch up on all the latest action, reports Wales Online.

What's new in the villa?

The Mallorca villa has been revamped with vibrant colours for this summer, covering every nook and cranny of the Islanders' new abode. This year's villa boasts three outdoor seating areas, a monochrome fire pit area, and a daybed area inspired by Barbie pink and aqua hues overlooking the pool.

A hanging sofa adjacent to a separate hot tub will also be featured. Outside, viewers will spot a bright blue kitchenette where the Islanders will undoubtedly whip up hearty breakfasts and coffee orders to kick-start their day.

Inside, there's a burnt orange dressing room, fully kitted out with a makeup counter and an array of products for the Islanders to glam up throughout the series. This year's bathroom has been designed with a green theme in mind, packed full of skincare and haircare essentials.

In the bedroom, vibrant hues illuminate each bed, reminiscent of a box of crayons. The recently revamped Hideaway flaunts a seductive red and gold theme, complete with a sign that cheekily declares 'Naughty Vibes'.
