The popular and attention-attracting TV series, Virgin Islands, produced by Channel 4, will return for another season due to its impressive ratings success, particularly among viewers aged 16 to 34, setting new milestones in the process.
2025 sure was a great year for television! As a movie buff, I can proudly say that the debut episode of season 1 has broken records as Channel 4’s most-watched show among our demographic thus far. It even managed to outshine established favorites like Taskmaster, Married at First Sight Australia, and Gogglebox. What a remarkable achievement!
The series as a whole is Channel 4’s biggest streaming hit of the year.
In the first season, we follow 12 unmarried adults who are exploring intimacy together for the first time, set against the backdrop of a lavish Mediterranean resort.
A team of sex professionals is leading them through an exclusive, practical workshop aimed at helping them conquer their apprehensions, as they embark on their journey exploring sexuality and intimacy for the first time.
According to Ian Katz, who serves as the head of content at Channel 4, “Virgin Islands” is a series that fits perfectly with our channel’s unique style, tackling a crucial yet seldom-addressed societal concern in a compassionate, thoughtful, and humorous manner.
We’re thrilled that it struck a chord with our younger audience, and those who participated found it immensely beneficial.
In the meantime, Jonah Weston, the commissioning editor of Virgin Islands, declared that season 2 will be more extravagant and daring than ever before. Previously participating contestant Dave shared his enthusiasm for his time on the island, expressing gratitude for the experience, and eagerness to witness the next batch of participants embark on a similar journey.
Dave stated, “I wholeheartedly recommend applying for it if you have the necessary bravery and determination. It’s significantly transformed my existence.
Those interested in signing up for season 2 can find more information on the Channel 4 website.
Ever since its debut, Virgin Island has set a new record for the largest unscripted series premiere in terms of audience share among viewers aged 16 to 34, outperforming shows such as The Jury: Murder Trial and Late Night Lycett.
