Peacock’s hit “Love Island” spin-off “Beyond the Villa” has been officially renewed for another season, this time featuring the cast of “Love Island USA” season seven, according to NBC. “Love Island: Beyond the Villa” season two will not continue following the same cast from season one, who fans met on “Love Island USA” season six. Instead, the new season will follow fan-favorites like Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales.
“Love Island: Beyond the Villa” season two will air sometime in 2026, although no official date has been set.
‘Love Island: Beyond the Villa’ Season Two Cast
GettyAmaya and Bryan, aka the winners of “Love Island USA” season seven, are set to appear in the new “Beyond the Villa” season. Unfortunately, the two broke up only a month after the finale aired. Fans can expect a lot of drama between the exes during the spin-off show.
A “Love Island USA” love triangle will also be featured on the spin-off. Iris Kendall, who left “Love Island USA” with Pepe Garcia, is now dating the man she was originally interested in on the show: TJ Palmer. All three will be on “Love Island: Beyond the Villa.”
Most of the rest of the “Love Island USA” season seven cast members will appear on the spin-off. Fans can expect to see Belle-A Walker, Andreina Santos, Chris Seeley, Clarke Carraway, Hannah Fields, Jeremiah Brown, Taylor Williams, Coco Watson, and Gracyn Blackmore. Clarke and Taylor have remained a couple since filming ended.
The NBC press release says more cast members will be seen on the show, but the official list excludes some very notable “Love Island USA” season seven contestants. Ace Greene, Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Nic Vansteenberghe, and Olandria Carthen were all omitted from the cast list.
Cierra Ortega and Yulissa Escobar, both of whom were removed from filming due to resurfaced racist remarks, were also left off the NBC cast announcement. Because of the reasons these women were removed, it is unlikely they’ll be seen on the spin-off. That being said, there is no official word either way.
When Does ‘Beyond the Villa’ Start Filming?
According to NBC, “Love Island: Beyond the Villa” season two starts filming next week. This means that any cast member drama since the finale was not caught on camera. Still, fans will get to see the aftermath of certain breakups and may even get better insight into why these couples parted ways.
“Love Island: Beyond the Villa” will air exclusively on Peacock.
