Love Island fans, get ready to clear your summer schedules. Peacock is reuniting some of the most popular Islanders from Season 6 for a brand-new spinoff series, Love Island: Beyond the Villa. The show, set to premiere in Summer 2025, promises to follow the drama, friendships, and new adventures as the former Islanders tackle life outside the villa.
According to Peacock, the series will follow the cast around Los Angeles as they navigate new careers, evolving friendships, and the highs and lows of newfound fame. The streaming platform struck gold with Season 6, which became the most-watched original competition series in Peacock's history. Unsurprisingly, they want to keep the momentum going with Love Island: Beyond the Villa.
Several familiar faces will return for the new show, but some names are notably missing. Here's everything we know about Love Island: Beyond the Villa so far.
Who's confirmed for Love Island: Beyond the Villa?
The confirmed cast for Love Island: Beyond the Villa includes many fan favorites. Season 6 winner Serena Page will return, alongside Leah Kateb and JaNa Craig. The trio became close friends during their time in the villa and gained a big following after the show.
Joining them are Miguel Harichi and Kenny Rodriguez, who were partnered with Kateb and Craig, respectively. Despite the usual villa drama—including messy Casa Amor twists—the couples managed to reach the final four.
Aaron Evans, Kaylor Martin, Connor Newsum, Olivia Walker, and Kendall Washington are also set to appear. Evans and Martin's turbulent relationship featured plenty of emotional moments, while Washington faced drama outside the villa, leading to a breakup with fellow Islander Nicole Jacky. Peacock also announces that "other former Islanders will make appearances throughout the season," so expect some surprises along the way.
Who's missing from Love Island: Beyond the Villa?
While Love Island: Beyond the Villa is packed with familiar faces, a few notable names are absent. Kordell Beckham, who won Season 6 alongside Serena Page, is missing from the main cast list. His absence is especially surprising given that he and Page are still together.
Snake enthusiast Robert Rausch, another fan favorite, is also missing from the announcement. Rausch’s quirky personality and love for his overalls made him a standout during the season. As of now, there's no official word on whether Beckham or Rausch will make guest appearances, but with Peacock promising surprise cameos, fans are hopeful.
Why the spin-off makes sense for Peacock
Season 6 of Love Island USA was a major success story. It became the number one reality series in the United States when it aired in 2024, and was the most-watched original competition series on Peacock.
Bringing the cast back for Love Island: Beyond the Villa is a smart move. Fans grew attached to these Islanders through every messy breakup, shocking twist, and heartfelt moment. A spinoff gives audiences a chance to stay connected with the cast they fell in love with.
"We’re so excited to continue sharing our journey,"
Serena Page shared. With strong fan support and familiar drama, Peacock seems to have found the perfect formula to keep viewers hooked.
When and where to watch
Love Island: Beyond the Villa will premiere in Summer 2025 on Peacock. While no official premiere date has been announced yet, fans can expect it to drop sometime in the summer.
The episodes are expected to be reality TV gold, with a mix of light-hearted fun, serious career moves, and relationship updates. Given the cast’s strong personalities and existing dynamics, there’s sure to be plenty of drama, both good and bad.
Peacock hasn’t revealed exactly how many episodes are planned, but given the success of Season 6, there’s a good chance Love Island: Beyond the Villa could become a summer staple if it does well.
The working title might change before the premiere, but the excitement is already building. With returning favorites like Serena Page, Leah Kateb, and JaNa Craig, and the promise of surprise appearances, Love Island: Beyond the Villa is shaping up to be a must-watch.
