Everything We Know About Love Island USA Season 8
Love Island USA: Preview
Fully settled into her role with a few seasons on the OG show and a stint on Love Island Games under her belt, Ariana Madix is back to host this season, with the ever reliable Iain Stirling providing the narration.
For the uninitiated, Love Island sees a group of singles searching for love in a boujee Filian villa. Throughout their romantic vacation, they’ll couple up, although each pairing will have to survive plenty of twists, turns and challenges, including the arrival of a series of ‘bombshell’ Islanders. It’s entertaining, addictive and surprisingly intense stuff. And audiences seem to agree, with last year’s installment being Peacock’s most watched original series ever.
We won't spoil any of the relationship drama here, but the group entering the villa this year included Paralympic athlete Beatriz Hatz, and Zach Georgiou, the brother of Love Island USA season 7 and Love Island Games season 2 contestant, Charlie. One contestant was booted from the show without stepping foot in the villa. More on that below.
It’s set to be another great summer, with plenty of romance, and just a little drama. Here’s how to watch Love Island USA online and stream new season 8 episodes daily.

What's the latest from Love Island USA Season 8?
After the residents of the villa thoroughly debriefed the night before, they discovered more drama was in store as a text arrived inviting the Islanders to play a game of truth.
As the group took turns reading our scandalous facts about their fellow contestants, tensions grew high as one by one, the castmates guessed who among them the secret belonged to and pushed the suspect in the pool before the genuine culprit was revealed. Most shocking of all the revelations was that Sincere had been guilty of texting other girls while with someone else, leading to a stormy conversation between he and Melanie.
What Happened With Vasana Montgomery?
Montgomery, from Beavertown, Oregon, was set to be part of Love Island USA's starting line-up, but just hours before the cast were due to enter the villa, the producers were made aware of recently resurfaced social media posts in which the would-be Islander used racial slurs. It was confirmed on Monday, June 1 that Montgomery would no longer be part of the show.
