Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix is stepping in as the host for Season 6 to help guide the audience through what is sure to be plenty of drama, and of course, some dramatically good looks.

How to watch Love Island (UK) in the US:
Love Island streams live free on ITVX in the UK. ExpressVPN offers “internet without borders,” meaning you can tune into anything on ITVX for free, just like a UK resident, as opposed to waiting for the new season of Love Island UK to drop on Hulu. All you'll need to do is sign up for ExpressVPN, change your server location to the UK, and then find the show streaming live on ITVX.
ExpressVPN’s added protection, speed and range of location options makes it an excellent choice for first-time VPN users looking to stretch their streaming abilities, plus, it's Endgadget's top pick for the best streaming VPN. New users can save 49% when they sign up for ExpressVPN’s 12-month subscription. Plus, the service offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, in case you're nervous about trying a VPN.
In the US, you will eventually be able to stream Love Island UK episodes. But the new season of Love Island isn't set to drop on Hulu until a full week after its UK premiere, so you'll have to find a way to avoid spoilers. Hulu's most basic, ad-supported tier will get you access to plenty of other great reality shows, including The Kardashians, The Golden Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise and more.
