A new Love Island spinoff series, Beyond the Villa, will follow fan-favorites from Season 6 as they navigate life in Los Angleles
A new Love Island spinoff series is coming this summer after the success of Season 6, which was the most-watched season of the reality dating competition show.
Love Island: Beyond the Villa will follow the cast of Season 6 as they navigate life in Los Angeles, including jobs, friendships, and love. The show will air on the NBC streaming service Peacock this summer, though an official release date has not been set. This will be the franchise’s second spinoff following Love Island Games, which will be returning for a second season.
Season 7 of Love Island will begin on June 3rd, and a whole new cast of singles will compete for the $100,000 grand prize.

Love Island is based on the UK series of the same name in which contestants live together in a villa surrounded by a tropical paradise while coupling up and competing in various games and challenges. Drama ensues when the islanders must decide if they want to remain with their current counterparts or “recouple” with someone else. Viewers at home get to vote to determine who must leave the villa and who can stay and get another chance at love — and money — as one couple takes home the cash prize in the end.
The new spinoff series will feature fan-favorite contestants from last season, including Kenny Rodriguez, Olivia Walker, JaNa Craig, Aaron Evans, and Kendall Washington. Fellow islanders Miguel Harichi, Leah Kateb, Connor Newsum, Serena Page, and Kaylor Martin will also appear in the LA reality show.
Serena Page and Kordell Beckham won last season and made their romance official outside of the villa, still together nearly a year after their season aired. While Kordell will not be part of the main cast, according to People, he will still appear on the show alongside his girlfriend. He will not be on the show full time due to a reported scheduling conflict with a scripted series he is filming.
Snake enthusiast Rob Rausch, who originally appeared in Season 5 and returned for the sixth installment, will also be absent from the show due to his nomadic lifestyle. The controversial contestant, who showed very little interest in finding love during his time on the show, does not live in Los Angeles like the rest of the cast and was most recently traveling in Costa Rica.
The series will air sometime this year, according to Peacock.
