The popular reality dating show returns to Peacock on Tuesday, June 11th.
NORTH CAROLINA, USA — The upcoming sixth season of “Love Island USA” will see two North Carolina natives find love in Fiji.
Love Island, the wacky, drama-filled reality TV show where islanders gather together to “talk it out” and stir up drama in search of love, is returning to Casa Amor this season.
This year’s event will be hosted by “Vanderpump Rules” reality TV star Ariana Madix, who is a huge fan of the show and is no stranger to romantic drama herself.
On Tuesday, Peacock announced the cast for the new season, which includes two North Carolina natives and one from the Charlotte area.
Coy Simmons, 28, of Winston-Salem, and Hannah Smith, 26, of Concord who now lives in Charlotte, will be in the first group of 10 people to date on the island.
