Hi, raise your hand if you’re still very much not over Love Island USA season 7. The latest season of Peacock’s U.S. take on the beloved UK dating show introduced us to so many icons (Olandria! Chelley! Amaya Papaya!), and while you likely have been seeing them all over Instagram (and runways and award shows and movie premieres…), I’m sure you miss seeing them on your TV screen just as much as I do. That’s why I’m so pleased to announce that Love Island: Beyond the Villa is returning for yet another installment.
Just like the inaugural season that dropped last summer following Love Island USA season 6 cast members, Love Island: Beyond the Villa season 2 will follow fan-favorite former season 7 Islanders as they return to their homes and try to navigate their newfound fame post-paradise. The post-reality docuseries will also show what happens to the relationships they formed in Fiji, which will either thrive in the real world, or—like JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez’s relationship—implode.
Want to know what else you can expect from Love Island: Beyond the Villa season 2? Let’s get into it. Starting with…

Who is in the Love Island: Beyond the Villa season 2 cast?
So glad you asked! The official cast includes season 8 winners Amaya “Papaya” Espinal and Bryan Arenales (who, as you might recall, didn’t last), as well as current season 7 couples Taylor Williams and Clarke Carraway (who stuck together after getting booted off the show) and Iris Kendall and TJ Palma…as well as Iris’s ex, Pepe Garcia. Other cast members include two of Huda Mustafa’s exes, Jeremiah Brown and Chris Seeley (but notably, not Huda herself).
Joining them are other fan faves from the season, like Hannah Field, Gracyn Blackmore, Andreina Santos, Belle-A Walker, and Coco Watson, while Charlie Georgio and Austin Shepard round out the cast.
