If you cancelled your Peacock subscription after Love Island USA wrapped last summer, I’m sorry to say that reinstating it just became non-negotiable. Its record-breaking season last year made the show a major pop culture moment, leaving fans wondering what show, or more specifically, what cast, could ever top it. After season 6 ended, Leah Kateb told People that we’d see more of the PPG (a.k.a. PowerPuff Gang), but we’ve been left with nothing but teasers—until now. This just in: We just got official confirmation that our favorite girl trio is, in fact, returning to our screens—alongside their boyfriends and more fan-favorite cast members—in a whole new way.
On Thursday, April 17, Peacock announced a Love Island USA spin-off series, titled Love Island: Beyond the Villa. The show will “follow everyone’s favorite season 6 Islanders around Los Angeles as they navigate new careers, evolving friendships, newfound fame, and complex relationships outside of the Love Island villa,” according to a press release. Peacock, you officially have our attention, yet again.
To say we audibly gasped at the announcement? Well, that would be an understatement. Here’s everything we know about the spin-off, Love Island: Beyond the Villa, so far.
When will Love Island: Beyond the Villa air?
Love Island: Beyond the Villa has yet to be assigned an official premiere date (c’mon!), but it is expected to air in summer 2025. Until then, we’ll be on the edge of our seats for the trailer, and of course, patiently awaiting season 7 of Love Island, which usually premieres in June or July.
Who will be in the cast of Love Island: Beyond the Villa?
Peacock announced that the cast will include PPG (JaNa Craig, Leah Kateb, and Serena Page), Miguel Harichi, Kenny Rodriguez, Olivia Walker, Kaylor Martin, Aaron Evans (Kaylor’s ex!), Kendall Washington, and Connor Newsum.
If you’re wondering where Serena’s other half is, to whom she won season 6 with, there’s no cause for alarm. Kordell Beckham has other commitments, but confirmed that he will appear throughout the show to support Serena. More guest appearances will come in the form of former islanders, namely: Rob Rausch and Nicole Jacky. Sprinkling in a few familiar faces for even more drama? Summer can’t come soon enough.
