Wildfires Force ITV to Delay Love Island: All Stars Launch

ITV says health and safety comes first, with a new launch date to be confirmed.

Overview

  • ITV pulled Monday’s planned premiere and postponed filming after evacuating the South African villa as a precaution.
  • Cast and crew were moved to hotels and are safe, according to the broadcaster.
  • Multiple fires in the Western Cape near Franschhoek have caused road closures, with local services and the South African Air Force tackling active fronts.
  • ITV2 and ITVX filled the slot with Love Island: A Decade of Love, and the near-simultaneous U.S. release on Peacock is also delayed.
  • The Independent reports bosses aim to restart filming this week, but no restart or air date has been officially announced.
