The first explosive trailer for Love Island All Stars Season 3 has dropped, and it promises the most chaotic, drama-packed series yet, with returning islanders forced to confront exes, unresolved heartbreaks, and long-buried secrets in the South African villa.

ITV released the two-minute teaser on December 29, instantly sending social media into meltdown. The clip opens with Maya Jama strutting into the sun-soaked villa in a red-hot cut-out dress, declaring: “This time, everyone has history… and no one is safe.” Cue rapid-fire shots of shocked faces, heated arguments, and steamy reconnections as past lovers lock eyes across the fire pit.

Fan favourites confirmed in the trailer include Season 5’s Molly Marsh and Zachariah Noble (whose turbulent relationship ended post-show), Season 8 firecracker Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, and Season 7 winner Millie Court — all facing new and returning temptations. The biggest gasps came from glimpses of unresolved couples: Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish (whose brutal Season 7 split still stings), and rumours of Tommy Fury’s potential bombshell entry to confront ex Molly-Mae Hague, who is also tipped to appear.

Producers have teased “the most brutal recoupling ceremonies ever,” with voiceovers hinting at betrayals: “Secrets you thought were buried… are about to explode.” One standout moment shows a tearful islander screaming, “You told me you loved me — and you brought her here?!” as the camera pans to a shocked ex.

Executive producer Angela Jain promised: “This isn’t just All Stars — it’s unfinished business. We’ve brought back the pairings that broke the internet, the heartbreaks fans still talk about, and a few surprises no one saw coming.”

The trailer’s high production values — dramatic slow-motion, pulsing soundtrack, and Maya’s commanding presence — signal ITV’s intent to reclaim reality TV dominance after a quieter 2025. Early viewer reactions are electric: #LoveIslandAllStars trended worldwide within hours, with fans predicting “absolute carnage” and “the best season ever.”

With filming already underway in the luxury South African villa (returning after last year’s winter edition), Season 3 premieres January 13, 2026, nightly on ITV2 and streaming on ITVX. Expect tears, tantrums, and twists that leave no one unscathed — because in All Stars, the past always catches up.

As Maya warns in the final voiceover: “Love might be a game… but this time, everyone’s playing for keeps.” Britain is already counting down.
