ST. JOHN’S, ANTIGUA (September 25, 2026) – The Caribbean has a new dating show made by its own people, for its own people.
Love Link TV and the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority (ABTA) have released the official trailer for Love Link Caribbean, the region’s first inter-regional reality dating series. The show debuts on YouTube on Wednesday, September 30, at 8:00 p.m. AST (7:00 p.m. in Jamaica), and new episodes follow every Wednesday.
Across ten episodes, ten singles from Anguilla, The Bahamas, Dominica, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Antigua and Barbuda, put their hearts on the line in Antigua. They arrive from, with different accents, different expectations and different ideas of romance. Antigua and Barbuda becomes part of every storyline: from Ffryes Beach to Laviscount Island, to Dow’s Hill. Along the way, the cast encounters the destination’s beaches, food, people and rhythm.
The show is Caribbean at every level. According to the producers, about 99 per cent of the production crew is from the region. On screen, the dialects, humour, food and cultural references will be instantly familiar to viewers from Nassau to Port of Spain and across the diaspora. The result is a shared weekly conversation for a region that rarely gets to see its own love stories told in this format.
“Love Link started right here in Antigua and Barbuda. Seeing it grow into something that connects people across the whole Caribbean is a dream realised,” said Jamila Watkins, Founder and Executive Producer, Love Link TV. “This show is about more than finding love. It lets Caribbean audiences see our personalities and our cultures on screen in a way that feels unmistakably ours.”
For the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, which serves as an Executive Producer, the series is a new way to put the destination in front of regional audiences.
“Antigua and Barbuda has long been a place where love stories begin, and Love Link Caribbean lets our neighbours across the region watch that happen week by week through voices that sound like theirs,” said Shermain Jeremy, Director of Tourism, Caribbean and Latin America, Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority. “Backing Caribbean-created entertainment is smart destination marketing. Viewers don’t just see Antigua and Barbuda in the background. They experience it as part of the story, and we hope many of them will want to come and write their own.”

The largest of the English-speaking Leeward Islands, Antigua comprises 108-square miles with rich history and spectacular topography that provides a variety of popular sightseeing opportunities. Nelson’s Dockyard, the only remaining example of a Georgian fort a listed UNESCO World Heritage site, is perhaps the most renowned landmark.

Barbuda is known for its untouched 11-mile stretch of pink sand beach and as the home of the largest Frigate Bird Sanctuary in the Western Hemisphere.
