Love Island USA has announced its initial cast of 10 eager singletons preparing to enter the season seven villa in Fiji this summer.
The American version of the hit British reality series â which sees a group of contestants enter a villa in hopes of coupling up to compete in games and challenges â returns to screens June 3 on Peacock.
Former Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix will return as host. Offering her advice for the incoming group, Madix said in a promotional teaser: âMy advice for Islander guys is be there for the right reasons. Like, Iâm not here for guys trying to get up their Instagram following. Advice for Islander girls? Never settle for less than what you truly know you deserve.â
In a special clip released Thursday on social media, fans were introduced to the first group of hopeful islanders joining the show. As the season progresses, additional individuals, known as bombshells, will be added to the mix in an attempt to stir drama.
