With host Ariana Madix set to return, season 7 of Love Island USA promises a fresh cast of characters, all (hopefully) single, ready to mingle, and eager to stir the explosive pot that constitutes reality TV drama. These hopeful romantics will make their way to the Love Island Villa in Fiji, ready to turn the heat up with Brads, Chads, and Bombshells alike.
Will this new batch of islanders find true love that transcends lifetimes, or engage in feisty trysts that fizzle out as soon as the cameras go off? The drama is bubbling and ready to go, so grab your popcorn, chardonnay, and fuzzy blankets. Slated to premiere June 3, 2025 on Peacock, the new season of Love Island will see new episodes dropping daily except for Wednesdays.
What happened in season 6 of Love Island USA?
Given the popularity of season 6 and its many riveting twists, it stands to reason that season 7 has big shoes to fill. To recap, season 6 of Love Island USA ended with 24-year-old Serena Page and 22-year-old Kordell Beckham being crowned the winners. The two are still together today, making them one of the most successful couples to have emerged from reality dating shows in an era of dating on-screen to breaking up off-screen.

Season 6 also saw Leah Kateb (24) and Miguel Harachi (27) crowned runners-up, while 27-year-old JaNa Craig and 24-year-old Kenny Rodriguez came in third place. Nicole Jacky (26) and Kendall Washington (27) placed fourth, though they sadly announced their split just days after the season 6 reunion aired.
Like winners Serena and Kordell, the other couples appear to have survived the trials and tribulations of day-to-day life; notably, both Leah and Miguel, as well as JaNa and Kenny are still together. However, life outside the villa bubble understandably comes with its own set of challenges, fuelling more drama. The stars may have danced their way off the Love Island stage, but the hits haven’t stopped playing. And for fans of the show who are still hungry for more season 6 drama? The tea is piping hot and ready to pour.

Set in sunny Los Angeles, the new spinoff Love Island USA: Beyond the Villa will follow the lives of season 6’s top personalities — notably Serena, JaNa, and Leah, as well as Kenny and Miguel as they “navigate new careers, evolving friendships, newfound fame, and complex relationships outside the Love Island villa.”

Kordell is notably absent from the main lineup. However, his absence appears to be due to scheduling conflicts, as shared by leading lady Serena who took to Snapchat to quash rumours of trouble in paradise. Responding to a fan, Serena said, “He’s gunna be in it with me!!!”, indicating that he could not be part of the main cast as he had prior commitments to another role.
Besides the main five, other former islanders will also be making an appearance. Confirmed cast members include Kendall, along with Kaylor Martin and Aaron Evans, as well as Connor Newsum and Olivia Walker.

Will we be privy to more drama between Kaylor and Aaron? Will cracks begin to show in the seemingly picture-perfect romance of Serena and Kordell? Is someone getting proposed to? Is Robert going to make a surprise appearance to wrangle a snake, or will Kendall stage a no-holds-barred attempt at getting back with Nicole? Only time will tell.
While no official release date has been set for Love Island USA: Beyond the Villa, Peacock has announced it will premiere in the summer of 2025.
