‘Love Island: Beyond the Villa’ Returns for Season 2 With Fresh Drama and Familiar Faces
Peacock is bringing back its hit Love Island spinoff for another sizzling season. “Love Island: Beyond the Villa” has officially been renewed for Season 2, putting the spotlight on the Season 7 cast of Love Island USA — though a few familiar names are noticeably absent.
The second season will once again give fans an inside look at life after the villa, where relationships are tested, rekindled, or left behind entirely.
Season 2 Cast: Who’s Returning to ‘Beyond the Villa’?
The lineup for Beyond the Villa Season 2 includes some of the most memorable Islanders from Love Island USA Season 7. Among them are:
- Bryan Arenales and Amaya Espinal — the Season 7 winners, now exes, reuniting on-screen.
- Iris Kendall and TJ Palma
- Gracyn Blackmore
- Jeremiah Brown
- Clarke Carraway
- Hannah Fields
- Pepe Garcia
- Andreina Santos
- Chris Seeley
- Belle-A Walker
- Coco Watson
Production for the new season begins next week, with the spinoff slated to premiere in early 2026 exclusively on Peacock.
Who’s Missing From the Season 2 Cast?
While many fan favorites are returning, a few notable absences have already caught viewers’ attention.
Couples Nic and Olandria and Chelley and Ace — two of the few pairings that survived beyond the show — will not be joining the spinoff cast.
Additionally, Huda, who recently made headlines for laughing off a racial slur directed at Olandria, will also not appear in the new season.
A Record-Breaking Debut for the Franchise
The first season of Love Island: Beyond the Villa became Peacock’s No. 1 highest-reaching unscripted original debut season ever. It featured the entire Love Island USA Season 6 cast (minus Rob) and was a massive streaming success.
Meanwhile, Love Island USA Season 7 shattered records of its own — generating 18.4 billion minutes viewed over its six-week run, making it Peacock’s most-watched original season to date.
Fan Engagement Continues: BravoCon Appearance Set
Before filming kicks off, Love Island alums Jeremiah Brown, Amaya Espinal, and Iris Kendall will appear at BravoCon on November 16, taking the main stage to discuss their time on and off the show.
The panel is expected to tease what fans can expect from the upcoming season of Beyond the Villa and reflect on their post-Island experiences.
Production and Executive Team
Love Island: Beyond the Villa is produced by ITV America in association with GroupM Motion Entertainment.
David George, Adam Sher, Jordana Hochman, Sarah Howell, Brian Appel, Tom Ciaccio, Blake Garrett, and Chet Fenster serve as executive producers.
