‘Love Island Games’ Season 2: Everything We Know About the All-Star Spinoff
If you thought you’d have to go without Love Island until next summer, we have good news: Love Island Games is making a comeback!
Shortly after Love Island USA Season 6 aired last year, the franchise announced that its all-star spinoff was getting a second season. Love Island Games brings together former contestants from the USA, UK, and Australia versions (among others) who didn’t find love the first time around. In the Fiji-based villa, they compete in team and couples’ challenges with the usual dating, eliminations, recouplings, and twists that we’ve come to expect from Love Island. Also, as usual, one couple gets the cash prize of $100,000.
During the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion, host Ariana Madix revealed when Love Island Games will return. Read on for everything we know about the cast, host, and more.
When will Love Island Games Season 2 premiere?
“It’s only three weeks until we’re back on Peacock with Love Island Games,” Ariana said at the end of the reunion. You can jump back into the world of Love Island on September 16!
Who is in the Love Island Games Season 2 cast?
There’s no official cast list for Season 2, but Ariana teased that we can expect some Season 7 cast members to appear. “All of your favorite Islanders from around the world, including some of these guys, will be back in the villa to fight for a second chance at love,” she said, which prompted Chris Seeley to playfully shush the camera.
Could that have been confirmation that his Love Island journey isn’t over? Chris walked away from the show having ended things with Huda Mustafa, so it makes sense that he wants another shot. When Swooon talked to the Season 7 star post-finale, he said he was game to return to the franchise.
“Yeah, of course, I’m more than interested in doing that,” Seeley said. “Beyond the Villa, Love Island Games, whatever it is. Even Season 8. Whatever it is, I’m here for it.”
Will Ariana Madix host Love Island Games Season 2?
You bet! After taking over as Love Island USA‘s host for Seasons 6 and 7, Ariana will run the spinoff, too. She was tapped for Games after Love Island UK star Maya Jama hosted Season 1. Comedian Iain Stirling, who narrates Love Island USA and UK, will offer his voiceover services once again. Another familiar face on the Love Island Games team is Maura Higgins, known for Love Island USA: Aftersun. She’s returning to serve as the franchise’s social media host.

Who won Love Island Games Season 1?
Justine Ndiba of Love Island USA Season 2 and Love Island UK Season 4 star Jack Fowler were crowned the winners of Season 1. Four months after winning the season, the couple split up. In March 2024, Jack confirmed the breakup on his Instagram Story. “Feels like ages ago now lol but just wanted to say we are keeping it as friends,” he wrote about his relationship status at the time. “It’s all love and vibes between us.”
