ITV Studios’ Love Island continues to find new homes, with RTL Croatia on board for its own version of the hit dating format, along with an adaptation of Game of Chefs.
Croatia is the 28th territory to commission Love Island. Game of Chefs gets its seventh version with the Croatian launch, slated for the spring. The deals were brokered by Martijn Plaizier, format licensing manager for global partnerships at ITV Studios.
“This deal with RTL Croatia underlines the continued momentum behind Love Island as one of the world’s most powerful reality brands, alongside the distinctive appeal of Game of Chefs,” said Tom Clark, EVP global sales and commercial strategy. “Both formats deliver premium entertainment with real audience impact, and Croatia is an exciting new market for them. We’re looking forward to working closely with RTL Croatia to bring two bold, high-energy shows to viewers in 2026.”
Tonko Weissmann, EVP of RTL Croatia, said: “RTL Croatia continues its commitment to bringing premium international content to local audiences. The acquisition of these formats marks a significant milestone in our strategy to strengthen our linear channels and Voyo streaming platform.”
