Love Island Season 10 is in its home stretch and fans are dying to see who will walk away with the win (and a new boyfriend/girlfriend). The show inspires quite a bit of devotion, what with it airing practically every single night in the UK on ITV. Fans over here in the US have enjoyed unprecedented expediency when it comes to watching new episodes on Hulu. Instead of the previous two-week delay between when episodes aired in the UK and the US, the gap for Season 10 has been shortened to just five days.

Until now — ! Viewers tuning in to Hulu to see the latest batch of Love Island UK episodes have been stunned to see… well, not the latest batch of episodes. They are, in fact, nowhere to be seen. So, where are Episodes 50 and 51 of Season 10? And when can we expect them to appear?

Why aren’t Love Island Season 10 Episodes 50 and 51 on Hulu?

Yeah, where are they?! Are they too hot for Hulu? What’s the conspiracy that’s keeping new episodes of Love Island UK from us?! It’s… actually nothing so extreme. It is true that Episode 50 was briefly added to Hulu before being taken down, and that Episode 51 never appeared.

Fans have speculated that Episode 50 was taken down so it could have closed captions added, which is kind of a big deal for accessibility reasons and also because pretty much everyone watches everything with captions because it’s generally impossible to understand what anyone is saying on any show from any country. Decider can confirm that is, indeed the problem with the episodes, which hopefully should be fixed soon.

That may explain why it’s possible Episodes 50 and 51 aren’t on Hulu, that doesn’t explain when they will be added. So…

When will Love Island Episode 50 and 51 be added to Hulu?

Good question! The answer could be any time now. At the very least, know that Hulu’s support team is aware of the issue and is working on fixing it.

So there you have it. You’re not hallucinating; Episodes 50 and 51 are not on Hulu (and Episode 50 apparently was for a hot second). Hulu is aware of the issue and are working to rectify it so we can all continue watching our fave summer docu-soap.
