It's hard to believe, but Love Island Australia 2022 is already winding down.

The fourth season of the reality dating show premiered on Monday, October 31, and like Love Island UK and Love Island USA, a cast of 10 sexy singletons were transported to and isolated in a luxurious location where they coupled up in the hopes of finding true love—or scoring the $50,000 top prize.

But where can you watch Love Island Australia if you don't live in the magical land of Oz? We'll make sure that you're caught up with all the happenings at the villa and can cast your vote for the winning couple. (Don't worry, we're here to help!)

Who is hosting 'Love Island Australia' 2022?

Love Island Australia season 4 will be overseen by returning host Sophie Monk, who first joined the franchise in 2018. The Australian singer, actress and model has also hosted Beauty and the Geek Australia, judged Australia's Got Talent, starred on The Bachelorette Australia season 3 and won the fourth season of The Celebrity Apprentice Australia. (Talk about an impressive résumé.)

"I can't wait for everyone to meet this amazing new cast," Monk told 9Now. "The twists and turns this year are on another level, outrageous but in a good way. It's going to be an amazing series that no one will be able to keep their eyes off."

What to watch after 'Love Island Australia' 2022

Fans of the reality dating show are committed and they certainly don't mind a lengthy marathon. But when your time in the Land of Oz is up, be sure to have a look at our favorite shows like Love Island to keep you busy.

And, good news! "When is the next Love Island UK," you ask? The winter season is on its way very soon. Plus, there is a Life After Love Island documentary that just premiered at the beginning of December, but don't expect it to be all rainbows and sunshine—exiting the villa isn't always easy for islanders.
