Season 9 of Love Island UK is now streaming on Hulu in the United States, although American viewers wish they were not behind on the episodes. British viewers were introduced to 10 new contestants in a South African villa in the season premiere on January 16th. This is the first winter season premiere for the show since 2020.
Maya Jama has replaced Laura Whitmore as host. Thankfully, Iain Stirling has narrated the show consistently since Season 1 and is back to using his sharp wit. American viewers had to wait until January 30 before watching the season on Hulu. The premiere of the ninth season of Love Island UK was released on January 16, 2023.
The newest season of Love Island UK has exciting tasks, attractive participants, thrilling recouplings, sizzling romances, and a boatload of heartbreak and unexpected breakups. There’s no better way to turn up the heat on a cold winter night than to watch the new season of Love Island UK, which is available to watch on ITV2. If you’re among the fans who want to access the show’s latest episodes, here’s how you can watch Love Island UK Season 10 in USA.
One of the fans, @NerishaPenrose, tweeted her anger, saying “Hulu needs to work out a better contract with Love Island bc there’s no reason we (US) have to start watching the season two weeks in.”

I’m bored of waiting two weeks to watch after the UK airs it,” said @nsaraix, another unhappy fan on Twitter. Nerisha tweeted, and Hulu replied that the present delay in the timetable is due to streaming rights but that they will pass along her concerns to the crew.

Fans of Love Island UK in the United States have had the opportunity to meet five of the day 1 female contestant (Tanyel Revan, Tanya Manhenga, Olivia Hawkins, Lana Jenkins, and Anna-May Robey) as well as five of the day 1 male contestant (Will Young, Shaq Muhammad, Ron Hall, Kai Fagan, and Haris Namani). Maya delivered the first major plot twist of the season to the island’s residents when she presented Tom Clare to them after the episode.
The Love Island UK Instagram page is where viewers first became familiar with Tom, and it was there that they voted for him to be the first bombshell to join the resort. Ellie Spence was the other contestant up for selection, and while she did finally join the villa on day 10, American viewers had to wait a bit to see her.
People need to be aware of what goes on behind the scenes or why Hulu can only provide viewers in the United States access to Love Island two weeks after the show debuted in the United Kingdom. Despite this, fans have every right to be frustrated with the situation. When other people online have been discussing the show for weeks, and the Love Island UK Instagram page has been posting along with the episodes, it is impossible to escape spoilers.
Fans in the United States have a lot of ground to make up, especially considering that the show airs daily. Fans would be happier if the current episodes were available on Hulu two weeks after the launch. This would have allowed them to catch up.

Due to how Hulu now distributes episodes, it is unfortunately difficult for American viewers to catch up with the series. Even if it may be too late for Hulu to do anything, let’s keep our fingers crossed that they’ll have a better deal by the time Love Island UK season 10 rolls around. When the Love Island UK season is made accessible on Hulu two weeks later, every episode that has previously been shown in the UK should be made available to American viewers all at once.
If this is not possible, American fans should be allowed to watch alongside their counterparts in the UK. It is common for fans to obtain what they want from TV shows if a sufficient number of them voice their opinions, so Hulu and Love Island UK can reach an agreement that will make fans in the United States pleased.
