(Picture: Rex Shutterstock)  Those Love Island withdrawal symptoms you might have experienced during its extended break from the screen are about to come to an end  as the 2021 series is finally here, with our long hot summer due to kick off on ITV2 on Monday night. The shows been off screens since early 2020, with last summers series being shelved due to the Covid pandemic  but its finally back, with 11 brand new singletons lining up in the Majorcan villa in their bid to find love, and no doubt bring us a whole lot of drama on the way. The new series of Love Island begins on ITV2 on Monday night at 9pm. The opening instalment runs for an hour and 35 minutes, making it slightly longer than your average episode  with subsequent shows running for an hour or just over an hour. You can also look forward to an almost daily fix of action from the villa, as new episodes are on every night except Saturday  when instead the highlights show, Love Island: Unseen Bits will air at 9pm.

However recent series have run around eight weeks, so we can expect similar this time around  in spite of the show arriving on screens a little later than its usual early June start time. A source previously told MailOnline: Crew members are scheduled to fly out to Majorca on June 20  with the series expected to launch a week later. The delayed launch date will not have an impact on the length of the series, with the show still running for a duration of eight weeks.  Love Island begins on ITV2 on Monday night at 9pm.
