Buckle up,Love Islandfans: The drama is about to reach new heights as the series prepares to bring back the iconic Casa Amor twist for season 3.
Sunday’s episode of the CBS hit will introduce viewers to a new group of singles ready to shake things up. A staple of the original British franchise, Casa Amor involves 10 new Islanders joining the season part-way through to tempt existing contestants — and potentially threaten established relationships.
The current couples will split up as the original girls move into a brand new villa to meet and mingle with five new guys, while the original boys welcome the new girls into their villa.
“What’s so great format-wise and what’s so great strategically with Casa Amor is that element of temptation,” said Hoffman, 48. “It is the ultimate outside world coming in and infiltrating this island that we’ve created, you know? So it really is a roller coaster, and I think it’s the perfect test for relationships.”
