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.
