Ariana Madix is heading to Fiji.
The Vanderpump Rules star, whose fame skyrocketed after her boyfriend Tom Sandoval cheated on her with one of her friends from the Bravo show, is to host Season 6 of Love Island for Peacock.
She replaces Modern Family star Sarah Hyland, who hosted two seasons of the dating show.
Hyland joined the dating competition for Season 4 when the show moved to Peacock from CBS. Arielle Vandenberg hosted the show since the format was adapted to the U.S. back in 2019 and remained at the helm for the first three seasons.
Love Island will return this summer. It is one of a number of iterations of the format, which began on British broadcaster ITV2. Peacock also recently aired Love Island: All Stars and has spinoff Love Island Games as well as seasons of Love Island South Africa and Love Island Spain.

Update: President Joe Biden, speaking to attendees at tonight’s Los Angeles fundraiser, said that Donald Trump “is dragging us back to the past and not leading us to the future.”
“We stand with the truth and we are going to defeat him and his lies,” Biden said at the event, according to a pool report. The event was at the home of Haim Saban, but he was not there after testing positive for Covid, nor was the other main co-host, Casey Wasserman, who also tested positive.
In his remarks, which lasted about 15 minutes, Biden presented a contrast between himself and Trump, as donors have been calling for the campaign to sharpen its attacks on the president’s likely rival.
Biden also talked of the death of Alexei Navalny, blaming it on Vladimir Putin. He called it “outrageous” that Trump has not condemned the Russian leader.

The show — which the streamer says is its No. 1 original reality series — follows a group of singles searching for love in a villa, but throughout their stay in a tropical oasis, Islanders face challenges, surprises, “bombshells” and more twists and turns.

Interior designer Melanie Rose specializes in something very intimate and unique in the home renovation space: She designs sex rooms. Remember Tommy Lee’s dream of a boudoir playground in “Pam & Tommy,” and how the racy redesign led to his sex tape being stolen? That’s what Rose does for a living — well, except she doesn’t steal her clients’ personal belongings.
When she’s not planning other folks’ bedrooms, Rose is in her own home writing a series of erotic novels based on that career. It was under the guise of pitching those books as a scripted series that her manager approached Adam Sher, president of ITV America. But Sher had another idea: Why not turn her life and work into a TV-ma-rated reality show?
And so Netflix’s “How to Build a Sex Room” was born. In the show, Rose visits people who have lost some of the...

The Chief Creative Officer of ITV America is joining Roku as its Head of Originals.
ilenberg will join in April and report to Rob Holmes, VP Programming at Roku.
It comes as the streaming service has been ramping up the amount of exclusive and original content that it develops and commissions.
Last year, Roku acquired Quibi’s library of original content and launched dozens of short-form shows on The Roku Channel, including a number that never launched on the Jeffrey Katzenberg-led service. In addition, it renewed a number of shows for second seasons.
But outside of the Quibi deal, the service, which essentially began as a streaming aggregator, has plans to bolster its pipeline of original series and films even further with plans to order around 50 series and films over the next two years.

ITV’s “The Chase” was hit with the threat of a writers’ strike last week for using non-union writers on its first season, but producers of the game show are currently in active negotiations with WGA East to resolve the dispute as the show heads towards production on a second season.
“The Chase” is currently in pre-production on Season 2, two people with knowledge of its status told TheWrap. There has not yet been a formal renewal announcement by ABC, which did not respond to TheWrap’s requests for comment on this story. Of course, there would not be all that much to picket if the show was not picked up.
“The first time we were formally contacted by Wgae on this matter was last Friday, March 12th,” ITV told TheWrap. “We responded to Wgae on Monday, March 15th to discuss an arrangement that benefits the writers whom we value and support.

Sherman made the announcement during the Eye network’s virtual Television Critics Association press tour.

The second season of “Love Island USA” is hitting the U.K. this fall.
The CBS series, which has this year relocated from Fiji to Las Vegas due to Covid-19, will debut on ITV2 from Sept. 7. Singles will occupy a “bubble” in a villa atop Caesars Entertainment’s boutique hotel The Cromwell.
Season 1 of the U.S. edition aired last year in late-night slots on ITV’s secondary family channel ITVBe. As such, the 9pm slot handed to the show’s second season on ITV2 marks a significant step up, although the impact of Covid-19 on the broadcaster’s schedule is likely to have played a part.
International versions of ITV Studios’ hit format have been a saving grace for the U.K. broadcaster, which was forced to pull the plug on the popular U.K. summer and winter editions of “Love Island” due to Covid-19 concerns around international production.

This will truly be the year of the “Semi-Emmys.”
That term was thrown around by Television Academy executives back in 2001, when the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, followed by the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, forced the Primetime Emmys to be postponed twice. The ceremony back then came with a little less pomp and circumstance but was ultimately still a normal-looking awards show that took place in a theater, with dressed-up attendees and the usual kudocast formula. But this year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all bets are off — the only thing for certain is that the TV Academy and ABC (this year’s Emmy broadcaster) still plan to hold some sort of Emmy ceremony as scheduled on Sept. 20.
As regulations evolve over public gatherings — and the tolerance level of people to leave their homes fluctuates — it’s still a bit difficult to gauge what might be acceptable for the Emmys to attempt three months from now.

Big Brother and Love Island were two of the big-ticket reality shows that have been put into a holding pattern as a result of the Covid-19 production shutdown.
However, CBS is confident that both non-scripted formats will air this summer, albeit slight later than originally planned.
“With Love Island and Big Brother, we still hope to have on the air this summer, it could be a little later than usual but we’re still optimistic about getting those on,” CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl told Deadline. “Those shows turn around pretty quickly, Big Brother has live shows every week and Love Island literally airs the night after it shoots, those shows do not have long post processes.”
Big Brother generally starts airing at the end of June. The show, which is hosted by Julie Chen, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, having launched on July 5, 2000, making it the second...
