Los Angeles, CA – The popular reality dating show Love Island USA has officially premiered its seventh season on June 3, 2022, with new episodes scheduled to air nightly for the next six weeks. This season features an exciting cast and a series of surprising twists that aim to engage audiences and keep the romance brewing among the contestants.
In May, Peacock revealed the first ten islanders who would be entering the villa this season. Among them is Yulissa Escobar, who shared her eagerness to embrace the experience after coming out of a long relationship. Huda Mustafa also joined the show, expressing her hope for finding a lifelong partner and her past frustrations with dating. Contestant Austin Shepard demonstrated his enthusiasm for the summer, looking forward to the adventure that awaits in the villa.
The season kicked off with a unique coupling format announced by host Ariana Madix, which involved the women kissing their two preferred men. Following this challenge, five couples were formed, setting the stage for the dynamics of the season. However, a twist was introduced when Madix returned donning blindfolds, allowing islanders another chance to kiss different contestants, further complicating the early relationships.
Viewers can expect more excitement as two additional bombshells are scheduled to join the villa on June 6, adding to the anticipation of unexpected relationship developments among the islanders. Love Island USA airs on Peacock every Thursday to Tuesday, maintaining its structure and pacing from previous seasons.
This season marks a strategic partnership with Spotify, which will feature QR codes linking to the show’s music throughout the episodes. In addition, other brand integrations from major companies such as Coffee-mate, Maybelline New York, CeraVe, and Cuervo will enhance viewer engagement during the aftershow segment. These partnerships are expected to bring more interactive elements to the program as the audience will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite couples through the Love Island USA app.
The resident islanders hail from cities across the United States, including Los Angeles, Northville, Honolulu, Orlando, Raleigh, and Miami, providing a diverse mix of backgrounds and experiences. Host Ariana Madix returns for another season, with Iain Stirling providing narration to keep the moments light and entertaining.
On July 7, an official aftershow titled Love Island: Aftersun is set to begin streaming, allowing fans to dive deeper into the lives and interactions of the contestants. Additionally, a casting tour featuring photo ops and beauty tips is planned to visit popular locations such as the Jersey Shore and Atlanta, providing an opportunity for aspiring islanders to showcase their potential.
As is customary, Love Island USA is hosted in a luxurious villa located in Fiji, maintaining the show’s standard of providing a picturesque backdrop for budding romance. With new islanders, thrilling twists, and a variety of brand partnerships, Season 7 promises to be a summer filled with love, drama, and surprises.
