'Love Island' Is Back For Season 5 -- Meet The New Cast!

The hit show, Love Island, is back for Season 5 and for this time the cast is headed to Fiji. The dating reality series, which first premiered in 2019, sees a group of singletons compete for a chance to find an everlasting connection and also win $100,000. For the duration of the season, the participants live in an isolated villa and must pair with another player to compete in a series of challenges.

The rules on Love Island make for a complex dating dynamic. Islanders must remain in a pair, in order to stay on the show. The season begins with five women picking their first pairing from a group of men. Once the couples are formed, the games begin. During their eight-week stay, additional players are added to the fold.

Throughout the season, contestants are allowed to “recouple,” picking an entirely new pairing. The islander left alone, is eliminated from the competition. Season 5 features a new batch of singles, who are hoping for their chance to walk away $100,000 richer. Here’s everything we know about the new cast of Love Island.
