When is Temptation Island premiering?

Coming to a screen near you on March 12, it won’t be long until Temptation Island will be able to be streamed again. The new season will drop on Netflix.

The series originally aired on Fox from 2001 to 2003. Although many countries picked up the premise, Fox canceled Temptation Island after just three seasons due to poor ratings. After a 16-year hiatus, USA Network picked the series up again. The network held on to the popular dating show for five seasons, before passing the baton to Netflix.

How to watch Temptation Island?

No longer under the USA Network or Fox umbrella, the international mega streamer Netflix will start pushing out Temptation Island content from 2025 onwards.

Their previous endeavors into the reality TV realm have panned out well for them. From Love Is Blind to Too Hot To Handle, Netflix has proven that it knows how to make hits out of reality dating shows.

Who is the host of Temptation Island?

Don’t worry, Mark L. Walberg is coming back to reprise his role as the Temptation Island host. Having been attached to the series since its inception, the TV presenter has never wavered from the series. Throughout the plenty of network jumps, Walberg has remained in his position as host.
