Will there be a second season of Virgin Island? Everything we know about the divisive C4 show
After three weeks and six, very interesting episodes, Virgin Island came to an end last night (Tuesday 27th May), with one of the adult virgins losing their virginity.
The show launched on Monday 12th May, with 12 adult virgins embarking on an experience of a lifetime in a bid to overcome their sexual fears and insecurities.
They were encouraged to take part in workshops led by sex experts and were given the opportunity to explore further with sex surrogates if they wished to.
The show received mixed reviews, with some calling it "creepy" or "excruciating", while others argued that we could all benefit from an experience like Virgin Island.
While many called the finale "uncomfortable" to watch, as the moment that Dave lost his virginity was revealed, viewers were still curious for more, with many questioning whether there'd be a second season.
So, is Virgin Island returning for a second season?
Here's what we know so far.
It's not yet known whether there will be a second season of Virgin Island, but given the popularity of the first season, it's looking very promising - plus the experts are up for it.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan UK about a possible second season, Celeste Hirschmam, MA, said: "Nothing you know planned as of yet, but yeah, I mean, we're totally on board for the project - 100 per cent."
Despite saying the show has "flaws", sex expert and Editorial Director at audio erotica platform BLOOM, said she'd be "surprised" if there wasn't a second season.
"Given the amount of attention the show has generated, and the conversations about sex and intimacy it has forced into the public domain, I'd be surprised if they didn't get a second season," Bell explained.
This will all depend on filming. Channel 4 are yet to confirm a second season, however, the first season was filmed a year ago, so if a similar time frame was followed, we probably wouldn't see the show back on air until Summer 2026.
We'll update you right here once we get an official confirmation.
We don't know for sure which experts will be guiding the participants, but below is a list of all the intimacy coaches who took part in season one:
It's likely we could see all the above back on the show.
It's too early to say for sure, but the show's experts only see the show getting bigger and better.
"We don't have specifics, but I know if there is another season that it will evolve and we'll sort of take what we learned from this one and see what kind things we can shift around to make it even more effective," Hirschman said.
It's likely that Channel 4 will use the same location for the second season if they go ahead with it.
Virgin Island was filmed at the Obonjan Island Resort in Croatia.
The four-star resort offers a "Mediterranean glamping style escape" with prices starting around €115 (£97) per night.
The resort opens for visitors between 8th July and 4th September.
Virgin Island is available to stream on Channel4.com

How to nail wedges with trousers: 8 failsafe outfit formulas
Wedges are undeniably the shoe of the summer. Love them or hate them, the boho renaissance is in full swing thanks to Chloé. At the autumn/winter 2024 show last March (the debut from new creative director Chemena Kamali) every front row guest, including Sienna Miller and Georgia Jagger, was wearing a pair of the brand's signature wedge heel sandals. The fashion world hasn't looked back since. And while wedges (particularly open-toe ones) feel natural to pair with floaty summer dresses, they also look great with trousers. There's more to consider when styling separates, but trust us, it will be so worth it. Below, we have compiled the ultimate wedge-with-trousers matrix, matching the best pairs with the best styles, so you can get the most out of your wardrobe. It's like fashion mathematics — and we know you're going to ace the test. With such a 70s aesthetic, it can be easy to think that wedges only go with wide-leg, bell-bottom style jeans. Not so! A straight leg can really show off the shoe in all its glory, and create an elongated silhouette. Important note: do not confuse straight legs with skinny jeans. There is a big difference. You don't want your feet to balloon out at the bottom. Opt for a classic style like Levi's 501s for a cool, never-try-hard look. Beloved by Bella Hadid and plenty of A-listers alike, capri pants are having their moment. We love this wearer's tie-hem pair. A point toe wedge keeps the capris feeling fresh and modern, and helps balance out what can be an awkward trouser length. Neon shades are perfect for summer, and add interest to a black pair of capris. The bermuda short is the smarter, more polished cousin of the jort — perfect for the office in the hot summer months. A pair of low-heel wedge mules adds a feminine touch, and will show off your fresh pedi. We love a contrast! Wedges don't just have to be boho and romantic. Balance heavyweight leather trousers with an open toe stacked wedge. This is a perfect outfit for a summer evening event once the temperature has dipped. Dress up baggy combat trousers with a smarter, more polished wedge heel. We love this wearer's closed-toe pair, with a contrasting white heel that matches her handbag. It's streetwear meets evening wear, and it's a vibe. Balance out busy patterned trousers with a 'naked' look wedge. Clear perspex gives a nude illusion to the foot, meaning the trousers can really do the talking. These are a perfect shoe option for when you feel like nothing quite goes with the outfit. Smarten up your wedges by pairing them with sharp suit trousers. An ultra-chunky heel shape balances out a tailored, straight leg trouser fit, and a slightly cropped hem means you can really give the shoes their moment. A match made in heaven, channel your inner French girl with raffia wedges and wide-leg denim. It's a classic pairing for a reason — so why fix what isn't broken? A turn-up hem adds major chic points.

Kate Winslet Covered Daughter Mia's Eyes During Titanic Sex Scene
's daughter, Mia Threapleton, has made a surprising confession: she has never watched Titanic in its entirety. The 24-year-old actress, who is following in her Oscar-winning mother's footsteps, revealed the secret reason why she couldn't finish the epic romance that catapulted Winslet to stardom. In a recent candid interview with Defined, Kate Winslet's daughter Mia Threapleton revealed that she has never watched Titanic from start to finish. Threapleton shared that her mother covered her 'eyes' during the car's intimate scene between Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. Threapleton recalled, 'I remember the car scene happening and these hands appeared from behind my head and covered up my eyes.' She joked, 'I was like, 'I can still hear everything.'' The actress shared that Winslet 'does not like watching herself.' 'I don't remember why it was on. My mother would never optionally put that film on. She does not like watching herself. And I totally understand why,' Threapleton gushed. While following Winslet's legacy, Mia Threapleton has already acted alongside her mother in multiple projects. She starred alongside her mother in the powerful Channel 4 drama I Am Ruth, part of Dominic Savage's I Am series. The mother-daughter duo portrayed a struggling single parent and her withdrawn teenage daughter. Threapleton revealed the process was 'intense,' and she did not really discuss the work with her celebrity mother. She noted, 'The whole process itself was very intense, but we didn't actually ever speak about what we were doing.' After the success of I Am Ruth, which won the Best Single Drama BAFTA award, Threapleton went on to act in Wes Anderson's film, The Phoenician Scheme. Threapleton's co-stars include Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Scarlett Johansson, and more. Reflecting on the experience, Threapleton said, 'It was mind-blowing.' Acting alongside an acclaimed star cast felt like a 'dream,' she added. 'I feel so unbelievably lucky to have had the opportunity that I have to have done this job with Wes.' The Phoenician Scheme premiered at the 2025 Cannes on May 18, 2025. The film got its theatrical release in the United States on May 30.

Russell Brand pleads not guilty to rape and sexual assault charges
British comedian and actor Russell Brand pled not guilty to multiple charges of rape and sexual assault at a court in London on Friday. In April, 49-year-old Brand was charged with one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, and one count of oral rape, as well as two counts of sexual assault. The charges relate to four separate women. The alleged assaults took place between 1999 and 2005. He has previously denied all the allegations. Brand walked into the courtroom at Southwark Crown Court wearing a dark suit and an unbuttoned, pinstripe shirt. He spoke only to confirm his name and enter five not guilty pleas. A trial date has been scheduled for June 3, 2026. Detectives started investigating the actor in September 2023 after receiving allegations following a joint investigation led by three British media outlets – The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4's 'Dispatches.' According to London's Metropolitan Police, it is alleged that one woman was raped in 1999 in Bournemouth, southern England; one woman was indecently assaulted in London's Westminster area in 2001; a woman was orally raped and sexually assaulted in Westminster in 2004; and a woman was sexually assaulted between 2004 and 2005, also in Westminster. Brand has appeared in numerous Hollywood films and hosted radio and TV shows in the United Kingdom. More recently, he has sought to frame himself as a social commentator and promoted conspiracy theories online, particularly on YouTube, where he has amassed almost 6.8 million subscribers. CNN's Sophie Tanno contributed reporting.
