Everyone’s talking about…the American version of Love Island
CBS have secured the US rights to the hit UK reality TV show – Love Island.
Commenting on the news, Sharon Vuong, Senior Vice President of Alternative Programming for the Network, insisted the show is more than just a ‘pop sensation’.
This series has generated compelling ‘sociological think pieces’ in major publications here and abroad.
