Today’s the day! It’s time for the highly anticipated season 2 of “Love Island Games” to fill your TV every night, with contestants competing for love and money from Thursday through Tuesday.
New episodes usually don’t air on Wednesdays, but because it’s “premiere week,” an episode will air tomorrow, Wednesday, September 17.
The reality TV competition show returns to Peacock tonight (Tuesday, September 16), streaming its two-hour season premiere starting at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
The show is exclusive to Peacock, so a subscription to the streaming service is necessary to be able to tune in. While Peacock doesn’t offer a free trial via its website, if you subscribe to the streamer through Prime Video, you can take advantage of a seven-day free trial before payments are set to begin.
The season’s cast was revealed in an official press release on September 9, and audiences have been buzzing ever since.
Ariana Madix is set to host the games, and she has been teasing the new season across her social media leading up to tonight’s season premiere. Announcer and comedian Iain Stirling is also set to return.
First Look Inside the Premiere
Peacock teased a first look at tonight’s premiere on their Instagram, showing a preview of a balloon challenge, contestants’ self-introductions, and bombshells walking in to shake up the villa.
“Wait, is this the same house from the last two seasons, bc if so, there’s a few folks who could’ve just left their bags in Fiji lol,” one Instagram commenter joked in reference to the iconic “Love Island USA” Fiji villa that has been used in seasons 1, 5, 6, and 7, and the return of a few contestants from the latter two seasons.
“Can all of you PLEASE act normal this season,” one Instagram commenter wrote in reference to the recent viral discussion following record-breaking audience voting and engagement on season 7 of “Love Island USA.”
The Return of Fan-Favorite Past Contestants
The “Love Island USA” season 7 reunion closed out the summer, streaming its 80-minute runtime on August 25. Drama ensued, and unseen footage was shared. This was the last time show fans saw cast-eliminated season 7 contestant Charlie Georgiou on their TV screens until now.
Charlie is set to join the cast of “Love Island Games” season 2 as a bombshell alongside Solène Favreau.
“Daddy’s home,” Charlie says in the premiere’s first look.
Several other cast members from seasons 6 and 7 of “Love Island USA” are set to return, including Andreina Santos (Season 7), Andrea Carmona (Season 6), Charlie Georgio (Season 7), Christopher Seeley (Season 7), and Kendall Washington (Season 6).
