Can I pull you for a chat?
Another season of “Love Island USA” is coming soon.
“Love Island USA,” which airs on Peacock, follows Islanders who couple up to participate in games and challenges throughout their stay at the villa.
Temptations and drama break up couples as bombshells arrive and connections are threatened. Contestants may recouple with someone new, and they can be eliminated by viewer votes. In the end, one winning couple walks away with the cash prize of $100,000 jointly or $50,000 each.
Seasons six and seven have brought in a whole new wave of fans and set viewership records. “Love Island USA” was the No. 1 most-streamed show the week of July 7-13, according to Nielsen’s rankings. This coincided with when the season seven finale was airing.
Get ready for a brand-new cast, a lot more drama and many steamy makeouts.
Here’s when the new season of “Love Island USA” comes out, the Season 8 cast and where to watch “Love Island USA.”
When is ‘Love Island’ cast revealed?
Similar to seasons six and seven, the cast of “Love Island USA” will be announced days before the premiere, according to Peacock. Pay attention to the “Love Island” social media channels for the Season 8 cast.
‘Love Island USA’ Season 8 cast
In a teaser for the upcoming season posted on the “Love Island USA” Instagram on May 6, one cast member may have already been announced.
During the video, host Ariana Madix promised the “hottest summer yet” before the camera cut to a muscular man in orange swim trunks, with a mustache, wearing headphones and holding a clipboard. “See?” Madix said.
The man in question, Seth Wilmoth, was mentioned by users and commented on the post himself. According to his Instagram, Wilmoth recently ran 13 marathons in 13 days across 13 ecoregions in California while also fundraising to support California’s state parks and public lands.
“Love Island USA” does not typically debut a cast member in a teaser, using hired actors instead. There’s no confirmation yet from Peacock whether Wilmoth will be in the Season 8 cast.
