Case Study: How “Love Island” Became “Love Inland”

Necessity is often the mother of invention, and when it became necessary to rethink how to shoot one of unscripted’s biggest series in the midst of a pandemic, reinvention saved the day. Here, you’ll learn how the production team behind the format’s U.S. version pivoted to bring viewers an unprecedented season of the global phenomenon (which topped Season 1 in viewership and week-to-week growth) – partnering with Caesars Entertainment and taking over an entire hotel in Las Vegas to create a giant “production bubble” and recreate the Love Island “villa” on the roof of The Cromwell.
