Temptation Island 2026 to debut early on June 24 in Italy

Italy's reality‑tv show Temptation Island returns for its 2026 edition, hosted by Filippo Bisciglia. The season, originally slated for early July, will instead launch on Wednesday 24 June and run for six episodes. The first three episodes will air on Wednesdays (24 June, 1 July, 8 July) and the final three on Mondays (13, 20, 27 July) on Canale 5 and streaming on Mediaset Infinity.

The first two couples introduced are Gabriele and Sara, who describe a turbulent six‑and‑a‑half‑year relationship marked by accusations of betrayal, and Francesca and Danilo, who cite mistrust and jealousy, with Francesca alleging Danilo sought contact on a dating app. The previous season’s finale attracted 4.6 million viewers, a record for the program.

The early start reflects a decision by Mediaset to advance the schedule by a week, generating buzz on social media.
