USA Network Renews ‘Temptation Island’
USA Network has ordered a second season of reality series Temptation Island. Season two will film later this year. There will be 12 episodes and Mark L. Walberg will again host.
Produced by Banijay Studios North America, Temptation Island airs on USA Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET. It premiered Jan. 15.
The show follows four unmarried couples at a crossroads in their relationship. Each must decide whether to commit to each other or give in to the temptation.
