Meet The Cast Of 'Love Island,' Premiering Tonight At 8 On CBS

Love is on the air! Love Island makes its U.S. television debut tonight with a special 90-minute episode at 8:00 PM ET/PT, only on CBS. Hosted by Arielle Vandenberg, the popular British reality-dating show invades American living rooms this summer as singles live in a stunning Fijian villa with the goal of finding love and winning cold, hard cash.

"Islanders," as they're called, will need to pair up or risk ejection from the island. No partner? Big problem.

Following tonight's special premiere you can catch new hour-long episodes of Love Island every weeknight at 8:00 PM ET/PT through Wednesday, August 7th. See below for profiles on the first 11 Islanders who will kick-off season one and be sure to tune in tonight for all the fun, romance and excitement that Love Island has in store. Check your local listings for more information.
