Tensions may flare, but ultimately, we'll watch as three different families, with nothing in common but their zip code and how overwhelmed they feel by the sheer number of Love Island episodes there are to watch, start to find common ground and slowly-but-surely, friendship." 3 Arts Entertainment's Oly Obst will also executive produce for 20th Television.
