Love Island Australia Season 8: How to Watch in US, Premiere Times & Release Schedule

Romance is heating up in the Southern Hemisphere.

“Love Island Australia” returns for Season 8 this week, and episodes will soon be available on Hulu.

The new season started airing in Australia on Oct. 26, so Hulu will stream episodes with a short delay (as it has previously). Expect the release cadence on Hulu to mirror Australia’s near-daily schedule.

Season 8 opens with 10 single contestants moving into a villa in Fiji — the same location previously used for “Love Island USA.” Singer and television host Sophie Monk is back for her eighth season as presenter, while Eoghan McDermott returns as the voiceover narrator.

Release pattern for ‘Love Island Australia’

Hulu hasn’t published a full episode rollout, but as of now the streamer lists four new episodes scheduled to arrive at 3 a.m. ET on Oct. 29, Oct. 30, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.
