Season 2 (Spain)

**Season 2** is the second season of the Spanish version of Love Island, hosted by Cristina Pedroche and premiering May 22nd,2022 on Neox.

## Production

The second season of the show was first revealed to be in production by the producers on February 28th,2022, alongside the announcement of the casting for the season. This was done through both their social media accounts and through their website.

On April 26th 2022, a raft of new format features for the upcoming season were announced as a part of the promotional campaign. These features included the Red Button, giving islanders the opportunity to get rid of a partner who they no longer find it bearable to be coupled with or to attempt to try and get a love rival booted. Both the presser of the button and their target would be placed in a public vote at this point. It was also announced that blind dates would be a thing for the new season, with islanders being chosen to go on dates for reasons outside of their attractiveness. Cristina Pedroche was also reaffirmed to be returning as hostess for the new season.

The launch date for the new season was officially confirmed on May 5th,2022 as being May 22nd, alongside the reveal of new glamour-shots for hostess; Cristina.
