Everything to Know About ‘Love Island USA’ Season 8 on Peacock Ahead of the Premiere

How to watch Love Island USA season 8

Coming off a breakout Season 7 that amassed more than 18 billion minutes viewed and ranked as the No. 1 streaming original series in the U.S., Love Island USA returns June 2 with a new season streaming exclusively on Peacock.

Season 8 will follow the franchise’s signature near-daily release schedule, with new episodes airing six days a week during premiere week before shifting to a regular five-night schedule throughout the season.

After premiere week, new episodes of Love Island USA will stream Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with Wednesdays serving as the show’s only night off. Saturdays will feature Love Island Aftersun, the franchise’s weekly companion series offering villa recaps, elimination reactions, and previews of upcoming twists.

Love Island Aftersun will be hosted by Summer House star Ciara Miller alongside content creator Tefi Pessoa. The weekly recap series will spotlight the biggest moments from the villa and break down the week’s drama for fans following along at home.

Because the series includes real-time audience voting and fast-moving eliminations, viewers are encouraged to keep up with episodes as they air throughout the season. Once again, viewers will be able to vote for their favorite couples via the Love Island USA app to help determine which Islanders recouple, who remains in the villa, and who goes home.

Ariana Madix returns as host for Season 8 after joining the franchise last season. The Bravo personality will once again lead viewers through the latest twists, bombshell arrivals, and recouplings inside the villa.
