The singletons for the upcoming series have been flown out to Spain and are currently isolating before they can safely make their way into the villa and couple up.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Bosses are finalising who goes into the villa on the launch show right now. The cast are already in Spain, quarantining ahead of the first episode.
"Everyone's really excited - it's going to be the best series yet as they have some really interesting islanders lined up for the villa."
It was recently claimed that 'Love Island' - which will once again be hosted by Laura Whitmore - is set to cast its first disabled star.
The dating programme is attempting to be "as diverse as possible" for the upcoming series.
An insider claimed: "Casting are actively approaching for someone who visibly has a disability. "It’s all part of the show trying to be as diverse as possible. "The final line-up hasn’t been sorted yet but it would be ideal if they had at least one disabled islander."
Last week, TikTok star Milly Pickles, who is an amputee, revealed she turned down the chance to appear on this year's 'Love Island'.
She said: "Just thinking – I was asked to go on 'Love Island' this year and I said no but, would I have been the first disabled Love Islander?
"And does this mean that they’re being more inclusive? Because if so, fabulous. I cannot wait to watch.
"They contacted me and I had calls with various people but I pulled out because I realised, 'Why am I doing this? It doesn’t align with who I am.'
"That’s not the point I’m making though. I’m saying that, because they got in contact with me and I’m disabled, does that mean that they’re going to bring other disabled people in? Because hopefully."
