Pack your swimsuits and sunscreen, we’ll be back at the villa next week!
Bravo’s hit show Love Island USA is back just in time for the start of summer, this time with a Florida celebrity as the host.
Based on the British show of the same name, the reality dating competition follows Fijian contestants, or “islanders,” as they pair off, complete challenges, and deal with drama inside the villa. Surprises are added throughout the season, including new beauties and “surprise guests.”
Viewers will be able to vote for their favourite couples whilst watching on the Love Island USA app, giving them the chance to decide which Islanders will remain in the villa and whose love journeys will end prematurely.
According to Peacock, viewers can expect “brand-new vibrant villas, including the spicy Casa Amor and an unforgettable hideaway.” Here’s what you need to know and when you can tune in.

Who will be hosting Love Island season 6? Introducing Melbourne’s Ariana Madix
“Vanderpump Rules” personality Ariana Madix will be the new host of the hit reality dating competition, after previously guest starring as a challenge host last season.
Madix, a native of Melbourne, Florida and Flagler College graduate, took the entire reality TV world by storm last year. After being the heartbroken victim of a very public cheating scandal, the 38-year-old has appeared on numerous magazine covers, given a variety of high-profile interviews, and revamped her image since the breakup (remember Scandalbal?).
In addition to her time on the Bravo reality show, she’s written a book, opened a restaurant and competed on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars last year. She’s also tried her hand at Broadway, returning as Roxie Hart in the show “Chicago” at the Ambassador Theatre this summer.
Who did Madix emcee for?
Madix will take over as host of “Love Island USA” from actress Sarah Hyland, who hosted the show for two seasons.
Hyland confirmed the news to fans on social media in March, saying she was working on another project that overlapped with the show’s filming schedule. She continued, “I’m disappointed to see the news break in this way, but it’s true that I will not be returning to the island this summer.”
