[Updated] Love Island UK Season 10 episodes 50 & 51 missing on Hulu, issue acknowledged

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on July 25, 2023) follows:

The Love Island UK series has garnered a massive following over the years, with fans eagerly tuning in to watch the latest twists and turns in the lives of the islanders.

This series has become a global phenomenon, and its popularity has only grown with each passing season.

The show’s dedicated fan base has contributed to its success, and their commitment to watching each episode is evident through social media discussions and online forums.

However, a recent glitch on Hulu has thrown a spanner in the works, leaving viewers unable to access the much-anticipated episodes.

Hulu users say that Love Island UK Season 10 episodes 50 and 51 are missing or unavailable (1,2,3,4,5,6,7).

The problem first came to light when episode 50 was initially uploaded to Hulu, and some excited fans managed to catch a glimpse of the drama that unfolded.

However, the elation and anticipation soon turned to disappointment for many Love Island fans.

It was discovered that episode 50 had been abruptly taken down from Hulu, leaving those who missed the initial upload wondering what had happened to the episode they were eagerly waiting for.

Episode 51 wasn’t even uploaded in the first place. This added further frustration to Love Island fans who were now left with a cliffhanger and no means of watching the subsequent episode.

Why did prior episodes disappear though? We had episode 50 of Love Island UK and now it’s gone (leading to a friend thinking she was caught up and me almost spoiling the elimination) and there’s no new episodes

A user alleges that the removal of the episode 50 was due to the absence of closed captions, which is a significant accessibility feature for several viewers.

Fortunately, Hulu support is already aware of this issue and are working on rectifying it as soon as possible. But no ETA has been shared yet.

That said, we will keep tracking this for further developments and provide more details once new information becomes available.

11:25 am (IST): Some users reported that other episodes or even seasons of the show are missing or not available for them.

However, a user, who contacted support, were told that these episodes were removed due to copyright issue. Moreover, they will be available in a couple of days.

I called customer service and they seem to have no clue as to what’s going on but that “the new episodes should be there in a couple days”. She mentioned something about a copyright issue but I can’t see how that would be the case when ITV has aired them already. (Source)

12:11 pm (IST): Hulu support has confirmed that the missing episodes are now available. Also, users are now beginning to see (1, 2) the new episodes of Love Island UK on Hulu.
