A brand new bombshell has entered the villa … but Bravo personality Ciara Miller won’t be competing on the next season of “Love Island USA.”
Instead, the “Summer House” star will be one of the two new co-hosts for Peacock’s companion series for the show, “Aftersun.” Miller will be hosting alongside lifestyle influencer Tefi Pessoa, NBCUniversal confirmed Monday, May 11.
The after-show debuted during “Love Island USA’s” sixth season in 2024 and was hosted by show alum Maura Higgins, who also competed on “The Traitors.” For Season 7, Sophie Monk filled in as host, though Higgins and Eyal Booker also guest-hosted.
More Peacock Updates from 2026 Upfronts
The news came ahead of the NBCUniversal Upfront at Radio City Music Hall, where Peacock teased its 2026-27 slate.
Also confirmed by the streamer on the unscripted side are a third season of “Love Island Games” with Ariana Madix returning as host and a “gripping” true-crime documentary, “The Wolves of Real Estate: The Alexander Brothers.”
Peacock previously confirmed that “Love Island USA” will return for Season 8 on June 8, as well as renewals for “Married at First Sight” (with Season 20 this summer), and “Nelly and Ashanti: We Belong Together” (out Fall 2026). Peacock also has Season 6 of “The Traitors” coming early in 2027.
The streamer also announced two unscripted vertical micodramas, “Campus Confidential: Miami” and “Salon Confessionals with Madison LeCroy,” both featuring Bravo personalities.
“In sun-soaked Miami, an elite group of students navigate friendships, romance, Greek life, and social media scandals, proving that behind every yacht party and perfect post lies a much messier reality,” Peacock says of “Campus Confidential,” which stars Georgia Gay, the daughter of “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s” Heather Gay.
LeCroy’s series, meanwhile, will show her transform “her salon chair into the ultimate confessional, where clients arrive for a makeover but end up revealing the most unbelievable stories of their lives.”
Scripted shows teased at the event include “The Five Star Weekend” with Jennifer Garner, D’Arcy Carden, Gemma Chan, and Chloë Sevigny—out July 9, 2026—and series including “Dig” (Nov. 2026), “Crystal Lake” (Oct. 15), “The Good Daughter” (Nov. 12) and “TED: The Animated Series” (coming soon).
Season 2 of “The Paper,” meanwhile, will premiere September 2026.
Ciara Miller Is Booked and Busy
The Miller news comes amid a “Summer House” scandal, after her ex, West Wilson, started dating her good friend Amanda Batula. Both Miller and Batula’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, were blindsided by the news, leading to what’s sure to be an explosive reunion.
Like Ariana Madix following “Scandoval,” Miller is also set to compete on Season 35 of “Dancing with the Stars” this fall and now joins the “Love Island USA” universe as a host post-Scamanda.
According to Deadline, Miller’s “Love Island” gig makes her future on “Summer House” a bit unclear.
“Love Island USA” Season 8 will debut June 2 and run through mid-July, meaning Miller will need to be available during that time to film the after-show. “Summer House,” however, typically kicks off filming in early July, and lasts through Labor Day.
There may be a bit of overlap, with Deadline pointing out she “could very well still have time to join the Hamptons-set series weeks later.”
“Summer House” Season 10 is still airing, with the finale dropping May 19.
