Temptation Island (Canale 5)

The Italian edition of the hit format Temptation Island returns to Canale 5 on July 3, once again hosted by Filippo Bisciglia. This season is set on the beaches of the Calabrian coast, where six couples will put their love to the test in a dream resort. For 21 days, they will live separately, each being tempted by a group of single men and women. Every week, the partners are summoned to the “bonfire,” a key moment of the show, where they watch video clips of their significant other and begin to reflect on the decisions they’ll have to make during the final “confrontation bonfire.” There, at the end of the 21 days, they will decide whether to stay together or end their relationship. Produced by Fascino GPT, distributed by Banijay Rights.
