USA Network has announced that it will reboot one of the buzziest reality shows in television history: Temptation Island. Mark L. Walberg, who hosted the original series that launched back in 2001, will return as the show’s host.
Temptation Island follows four couples at a pivotal time in their relationships, making them mutually decide if they are ready to commit to one another for the rest of their lives or go their separate ways. Together, the couples travel to the tropical paradise of Maui, Hawaii, where they join 24 eligible men and women. There, they live the “single life,” in a test that is meant to help answer their most difficult questions about their relationship.
“As cable’s #1 entertainment network for 12 years and running, USA is home to some of the most-talked-about shows on TV. Our reboot of TEMPTATION ISLAND is sure to spark intrigue, debate, and conversation for a whole new generation of viewers,” said Chris McCumber, President of Entertainment Networks for NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment.
The reality series is another in the growing slate of unscripted series for the network, which includes Chrisley Knows Best and Miz and Mrs., in addition to scripted series like Mr. Robot and The Sinner. Temptation Island is executive produced by Banijay Studios North America’s David Goldberg and Caroline Baumgard; Scott Jeffress also serves as executive producer. This marks
The 10-episode series is set to premiere on Tuesday, January 15.
