As a result, Love Island fans have speculated that there's been a big shake-up, and that the start date has actually been pushed back.
They think the show might be starting on Monday, June 9th.
The summer series normally starts a week after the Bank Holiday, which would make it Monday, June 2nd.
But with the lack of Love Island promos, viewers are now convinced that it has been pushed back.
Some fans have been left concerned that hilarious Love Island voiceover Iain Stirling was stepping down from his role.
It came as a fake TikTok account posing as Iain claimed the Scots-born star has "quit" the show.
With a broken heart emoji, it said Iain was walking away from the UK version of Love Island to focus on the US series instead.
In a sombre black post with white writing, it read: "It's been a hectic few months for me and the Love Island team having to go back and forth on my decisions.
"Unfortunately I have quit being a voiceover for Love Island UK, however I will still be carrying on for the USA version.

"Making this decision wasn't easy and Love Island UK will always have a special spot in my heart, words cannot describe how much love I have for every one of you and I wish best for the next voiceover [sic]."
Fans were sent into a spin over the fake message, despite 'Iain's' poor grammar and use of the word "voiceover", instead of "narrator".
One Love Island viewer commented: "Noooo won't be the same!"
Another added: "Pay the man what he wants, UK Love Island!"
Fortunately, The Sun can exclusively reveal Iain, 37, married to fellow TV host Laura Whitmore, WILL be returning to Love Island UK with his witty commentary this summer.
Insiders have told us that he is "fully expected" to be back.
A TV source says: "There have been rife rumours that Iain is quitting Love Island, but they're just not true.
"He's a huge part of the Love Island family and loved by fans.
"Iain is fully expected to make a return to the summer series."
Maya Jama is getting set to return as the host of the upcoming series of Love Island, which follows hot on the heels of January's All Stars series.
