Temptation Island doubles in September with two specials on Canale 5.

Temptation Island returns in September with a double episode. The Canale 5 reality show, hosted by Filippo Bisciglia and produced by Maria De Filippi 's Fascino , will air with two special prime time episodes : the first on Monday, September 7th , and the second, currently, on the following Monday, September 14th . The relaunch follows the record-breaking figures of the last edition, which closed with the highest numbers ever.

Temptation Island doubles in September

According to Fanpage.it, the summer program will return to the airwaves in September with two special episodes. The first is scheduled for Monday, September 7th , while the second is scheduled for Monday, September 14th , a date still awaiting final confirmation.

The decision to once again open the doors of Canale 5's prime time slot to the format came after the results of the last edition, which closed the season with the highest numbers ever for the program.

The audience boom and the social phenomenon

The recently concluded season saw record ratings, with extraordinary share peaks, especially among young viewers, and thousands of social media shares. The final episode surpassed 35% share , closing with the highest numbers ever for the show.

Making the phenomenon even more unique is the emergence of collective listening groups in public places : throughout Italy, from beach resorts to lounge bars to seaside restaurants, hundreds of owners have set up giant screens with themed evenings to watch the episodes together. Until now, this experience on TV had been almost exclusively associated with national team matches and the Sanremo Music Festival.

What will happen in the special episodes

The two new episodes, whose title should be Temptation Island… and then… and then… , will tell what happened to the couples a few months after leaving the villages, as in the special And then… and then… which we have already talked about.

The stars have maintained utmost confidentiality on social media due to contractual constraints, but rumors suggest that the dynamics have changed over the summer and that there will be hidden twists and turns ahead of the show's broadcast.

The connection with Men and Women

The two events will also help clarify another big question: the arrival of some of the show's stars on the throne of Uomini e Donne . The editorial staff has already confirmed the first female tronista, twenty-five-year-old Roman Giorgia Angeloni , and the arrival of Alessandra Mussolini as a commentator alongside Gianni Sperti, Tina Cipollari, and Tinì Cansino.

The other two red seats have been temporarily left empty: the feeling is that Maria De Filippi is waiting for the specials to air before revealing which former Temptation Island stars will try to find love in front of the afternoon cameras on Canale 5.

When do the special episodes of Temptation Island air?

The first episode is scheduled for Monday, September 7th in prime time on Canale 5. The second is scheduled for Monday, September 14th, a date pending final confirmation.

How many special episodes will there be?

There will be two, both in prime time, with the provisional title Temptation Island… and then… and then…

What will the episodes tell?

The couples from the last edition will return in front of the cameras to tell what happened months after leaving the villages, including twists and turns and new balances.

What does Men and Women have to do with each other?

The specials could herald the arrival of some former protagonists on the dating show's throne: the first confirmed tronista is Giorgia Angeloni, with Alessandra Mussolini as the new commentator.
