Love Island UK Season 13 began on ITV2 on Monday, June 1, with new episodes now airing six nights a week in Britain and landing on Hulu in the U.S. a few days later. For American viewers, the new run started on Thursday, June 4 at 3 a.m. ET, setting up a split-screen rollout that is already shaping how fans follow the villa.
That schedule is why love island unseen bits is showing up in searches now: the season has just started, and the gap between the U.K. broadcast and the U.S. stream is part of the viewing experience. ITV2 is carrying episodes at 4 p.m. ET and 9 p.m. BST, while Hulu is releasing them from Wednesday through Monday, which means the platform skips Tuesday because of the show's Saturday-night break in Britain.
The launch matters because Love Island UK is filmed almost in real time, so viewers in Britain are usually only one or two days behind the action. Hulu’s arrangement stretches that to about four to five days for American fans, even as the season moves quickly through the usual villa rhythms of challenges, recouplings and bombshell arrivals in Mallorca, Spain. ITV announced the cast last month, and the lineup includes a property broker, nurse, fashion business owner, detective, model and primary school teacher from across the U.K. and beyond.
Day 1 also brought immediate movement in the villa, with George and Yasmin arriving as bombshells. George, 28, is a professional footballer from Winchester, while Yasmin is a 23-year-old recruitment consultant from Broadstairs, Kent. Their arrival gives the opening days an extra layer of pressure, because the first week often decides who settles in and who is forced to scramble before the season fully takes shape.
The rhythm for U.S. viewers is now clear: new episodes come in overnight on Hulu from Wednesday to Monday, and Love Island: Aftersun follows the Sunday-night episode in Britain before arriving on Hulu on Wednesdays. Anyone determined to watch in lockstep with the U.K. can still catch the ITV2 broadcast, though that usually means working around time zones rather than the streaming delay. For now, the real question is not when the season begins, but which couple can survive long enough to be the one holding the £50,000 prize at the end.
