A home-grown entertainment concept is moving onto a wider Caribbean stage with Love Link Caribbean, a new 10-episode reality dating series created by Antigua-based Love Link TV and filmed in Antigua and Barbuda. The series brings together 10 singles representing Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla, The Bahamas, Dominica, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It expands the Love Link concept, first introduced through pilot episodes—The Mixer, aired in 2023—into a full regional season centered on Caribbean personalities, perspectives, and culture. Antigua and Barbuda serves as both the production home and the setting for the cast’s journey. According to the producers, approximately 99 percent of the production crew is Caribbean, while dialects, patois, humor, cuisine, customs, and cultural references are intentionally retained as part of the storytelling. “To see Love Link grow from an idea created here in Antigua and Barbuda into a production bringing together personalities and audiences from across the Caribbean is a proud moment,” said Jamila Watkins, Founder and Executive Producer, Love Link TV. “We want to create entertainment that feels Caribbean—our voices, our personalities, our culture, and our stories—and demonstrate what can be created right here in the region.” The project’s growing regional reach was underscored on September 2, when 29 journalists, editors, broadcasters, media professionals, and creators representing 11 Caribbean and diaspora markets attended an invitation-only virtual First Look hosted by Love Link TV and the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority (ABTA). The session followed an Antigua and Barbuda preview held on August 28 and gave regional attendees an advance look at select footage, followed by a moderated question-and-answer session with the cast and production team. ABTA serves as an Executive Producer of the series. Through the partnership, Antigua and Barbuda’s locations and experiences become part of the story, creating an entertainment-led platform through which Caribbean audiences can encounter the destination’s romance offering. “This is an Antiguan-created platform with the potential to showcase Antigua and Barbuda to audiences across our region in an entirely different way,” said Shermain Jeremy, Director of Tourism, Caribbean and Latin America, Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority. “It demonstrates what can happen when tourism and Caribbean creativity work together—supporting our own stories while creating new opportunities for audiences to discover the destination.” Love Link Caribbean is scheduled to premiere on Love Link TV’s YouTube channel later in 2026. The official trailer, premiere date, and public viewing details will be announced at a later date.
