Production
During the final of the previous series on 24 July 2017, it was confirmed that Love Island would return for a fourth series due to air the following year.[6] It became the fourth series from the current revived format, but sixth series overall.[7] Caroline Flack and Iain Stirling were confirmed to continue their roles as presenter and narrator, respectively.[8] The first 10-second teaser for the new series began airing on 21 April 2018 with a second teaser released on 29 April.[9] A full-length trailer was released on 17 May, which Stephanie Chase of Digital Spy pointed out included "all our favourite lingo from the show".[10] On 23 May, it was confirmed that the series would begin on 4 June on ITV2.[11] On 27 May, it was announced that a new spin-off, "Love Island: The Morning After", had been commissioned for the series. It was hosted by Kem Cetinay and Arielle Free and was a daily podcast that delivered the freshest gossip to the fans.[12] First look pictures of the villa were released on 31 May.[13] The sixteenth episode of the series, first broadcast on 21 June 2018, featured a tribute to series 2 contestant Sophie Gradon, who died on 20 June.[14]
Some of the episodes in this series were aired outside of the usual 9pm timeslot due to the FIFA World Cup.[15]
Islanders
Angela Jain, the managing director at ITV Studios Entertainment, wanted the series to feature "some surprising cast members", who the audience would not expect to see.[16] She explained that she wanted "enough cast that feels like they are absolutely heart and soul Love Island – and then a certain percentage of people who feel genuinely new to telly and genuinely surprising."[16] When asked whether a former contestant could appear in this series, executive producer Andy Cadman did not rule out anything, but said he struggled to imagine it.[17] The first Islanders for the fourth series were released on 28 May 2018, just one week before the launch.[18] However, throughout the series, more Islanders entered the villa to find love.[19] Niall Aslam's decision to leave the series voluntarily for "personal reasons" marks the first time since the second series where an Islander voluntarily left the show.[20] Niall later said he left because of "stress-induced psychosis."[21] The series was won by Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham having received 79.66% of the final vote.[2]
