Love Island super fans can score a shot at watching the Season 8 reunion taping live in Universal City.

Producers are casting a live audience for the upcoming  special, which will stream on Peacock Monday, August 31 at 6:00 pm.   Host Ariana Madix will team up with Andy Cohen to grill the season’s winners, fan-favorite couples and headline-making bombshells fresh off the Fiji villa.

Fans can apply for three different experiences: catching the cast arrivals outside the studio on Sunday, August 9 or snagging a seat in either the morning or afternoon reunion taping on Monday, August 10.

The tickets are complimentary, but not everyone who applies will make the cut. The event is a “casted audience,” meaning hopeful attendees must apply in advance and wait to see if they score an e-ticket a few days before showtime.

Heads up:  “casted audience” is also somewhat of an industry code, meaning the screeners from OS | LA Productions will likely be looking for a certain demographic that fits the vibe of the show.

There are a few ground rules, of course: you must be at least 18 years old, and you’ll need to register as a member before applying.

Space is limited — so Islanders-in-training might want to move fast.
