The last season of the ITV dating programme – which was the second All Stars version – wrapped up in March.
Fans will be happy to know that it’s not long before they will get their Love Island fix.
On Monday (26 May 2025), a trailer was dropped ahead of the series.
Maya – who starting hosting the show in 2023 – is seen in a boardroom called Love Island HQ and says: ‘Right, this year Love Island needs something bigger, something bolder.
‘I want ideas.’

Love Island drops first series 12 trailer – as smouldering Maya Jama promises ‘a summer full of twists and turns’ to mark ten-year anniversary
One person asks: ‘Move it to the Isle of Wight?’
Another asks: ‘What if we turn it into musical?’
‘Why?’ Maya sassily asks.
Another says in Japanese: ‘Love Island, on ice?’ to which Maya replies: ‘Never!’
Unhappy with all the suggestions, Maya pushes the paper off her desk and shouts: ‘No!’
She adds: ‘This year I want more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more make-ups.
‘I want more twists. I want more twists than ever.’
Voice over Iain Stirling ends the clip with: ‘Love Island. Coming soon to ITV2 and ITVX.’
Fans can watch the 30-second version of the promo at 9:30pm on Monday, while crime drama Code of Silence is airing on ITV.
It comes after the first Love Island star was revealed as a hunky 6’5 personal trainer.
Londoner Aaron Buckett is rumoured to have been snapped up by ITV bosses to turn heads in the villa either as part of the ‘opening line-up or as a tempting bombshell’.
The gym enthusiast already boasts thousands of followers on both his TikTok and Instagram pages, where he regularly shares clips of his gruelling workouts.
A villa source told The Sun: ‘It’s a fact of life that girls go crazy for a tall lad and Aaron is a man mountain.
‘He’s got great chat too.
‘Aaron is in the mix for this year’s cast but execs are still finalising whether he’ll be in the opening line-up or as a tempting bombshell.’
It comes after Maya gave an update which confirmed the dating show’s return and sent fans wild.
A short clip, which was shared to Instagram, revealed that Love Island would be back sooner than we thought.
The video showed a letter being printed, which read: ‘Attention: Love Island is coming soon. Attendance mandatory.
‘Signed, CEO of love, Maya x’
The official Love Island account captioned the update: ‘100% our type on paper.’
Love Island airs on ITV.
