Temptation Island 2026 announces new couples Francesca & Danilo and Gabriele & Sara
Italian reality show Temptation Island will return to Canale 5 on 2 July 2026, hosted by Filippo Biscaglia. The programme has officially revealed its first two couples for the new edition.
The first pair, Gabriele (25) and Sara, have been together for six and a half years and co‑habiting for two years. In a introductory video Gabriele claims he found chat messages suggesting Sara may have been unfaithful, while Sara denies the allegation.
The second pair, Francesca (25) and Danilo, have been in a relationship for four years. Francesca says she feels “trapped” by Danilo’s jealousy and joined the show to test their bond, accusing him of lying about his online interactions. Both couples will be placed in the Calalandrusa Beach & Nature Resort in Calabria for the duration of the season, where they will face temptations from single participants.
The show follows a format that requires couples to be unmarried, child‑free and committed to testing their relationship over a 21‑day stay.
