ITV/STV bosses confirmed just before the 11th series of Love Island earlier last year that Love Island: All Stars had been renewed for a second instalment, with more former Islanders set to head over to South Africa.

As series two begins this month, bosses have now unveiled the first 12 Islanders! Here's everything you need to know about Love Island: All Stars series two.

When does it start?

ITV/STV have now confirmed the second series of All Stars will begin on Monday 13th January at 9pm.

The news was announced on social media, as bosses posted a invite alongside the words: 'Signed. Sealed. Delivered... but to whom? 🤫❤️. Love Island All Stars starts Monday, 13th January at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX'. (sic)

Fans were quick to comment on the post, with many expressing their excitement for the new series.

One wrote: 'Can’t wait to watch ❤️', with another writing: 'YES YES YES'. A third added: 'I CANT WAIT!!!!! WE NEED SEASON 5 CAST MEMBERS!!!'.

Following the first ever series in January-February this year, which saw Mollie Smith and Tom Clare win the show, bosses went on to confirm All Stars will return in early 2025!

Announcing the news on social media, the post simply read: 'All Stars 🤝 Series 2 #LoveIsland'. (sic)

Is there a trailer?

Yes! The official full length trailer was released on Saturday 21st December, showing an artist prepare the final artwork, with a sneak peek of regal host Maya Jama standing for her own portrait.

The artist is heard saying: “Madame, it’s finished."

To which Maya replies: “Finished? We’re just getting started.”
