Virgin Island is heading back to our screens later this month and, if the first look is anything to go by, series 2 is set to spark even more conversation.
With a fresh group of 12 virgins, returning experts and plenty of candid moments, Channel 4 looks ready to build on one of its most talked-about hits.
The breakout show made serious waves when it launched last year, quickly becoming Channel 4’s most-streamed programme for 16 to 34-year-olds in 2025.

What do we know about Virgin Island series 2?
Following the success of its debut run, series 2 promises to be bigger in scale and ambition. While the first outing featured six one-hour episodes, the upcoming series has been expanded to eight.
Once again, 12 participants will take part as they attempt to navigate their intimacy struggles with guidance from a team of specialists. Leading the way are returning therapists Dr Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman.
Viewers will also recognise a number of familiar faces among the experts. Surrogate partner therapist Kat Slade returns after her memorable involvement with cast member Dave in series 1. Aisha Paris-Smith and Andrew Lazarus are also back as part of the team.
Channel 4 has yet to confirm an exact launch date, but the new series is expected to land before the end of April. Details of the new cast are also being kept under wraps for now, with names due to be revealed closer to transmission.
Virgin Island series 2 trailer hints at emotional confessions
The newly released trailer offers a glimpse at the 12 participants and the journey ahead. Set against the backdrop of a Mediterranean resort, the series once again blends group bonding with guided therapy sessions.
In one moment, a female participant recalls being labelled “the ugliest girl in school”, while elsewhere several of the male contributors appear taken aback during an intimacy workshop.
Other clips see one participant describing himself as a “Grade A virgin”, while another admits he feels like “a horny teenager”. The group are also shown debating whether keeping your eyes open while kissing is acceptable.
Dave had ‘amazing time’ on the show
Series one participant Dave popped his cherry on the show and reflected positively on his experience.
“I had an amazing time on the Island. And I’m truly thankful for the time I spent there,” he said.
