Season 6 of Love Island USA was a huge success for Peacock, bringing in record-breaking ratings and earning the title of most-watched reality competition show in the platform’s history. The season’s success can be attributed to the dynamic cast, who viewers fell in love with over the course of the summer. The streaming platform is utilizing the cast’s talent by releasing a spinoff, titled Love Island: Beyond the Villa, which will focus on a select group of cast members living in Los Angeles.
We don’t know much about the upcoming spinoff, but some details have been released. Here is what we know about Love Island: Beyond the Villa.
Love Island: Beyond the Villa cast
According to Deadline, ten Season 6 Islanders will return for the upcoming spinoff. The cast is as follows…
Kordell Beckham, who split the $100,000 prize with his girlfriend Serena in the Season 6 finale, was not listed as a main cast member. However, People magazine confirmed that Kordell will appear in the upcoming project despite not being listed. The outlet reported that Kordell was cast in a scripted series that will conflict with the schedule for Beyond the Villa. But viewers can expect to see him in some scenes with Serena this summer.
Rob Rausch is another name missing from the cast announcement. There is no word on why he did not join the cast, but his nomadic lifestyle may be to blame. Most of the cast is located in LA or relocated to the area after the show, but Rob’s been moving around a bit.
Love Island spinoff Beyond the Villa premiere
Love Island: Beyond the Villa is set to premiere in the summer of 2025. The spinoff’s release date will depend on when Season 7 of Love Island USA airs. The OG series will return this summer, but there is no word on a premiere date yet.
Beyond the Villa will follow the Islanders as they navigate friendship, careers, and relationships in LA. There are two couples within the main cast. Leah and Miguel and JaNa, and Kenny are still going strong. Additionally, Serena is still with Kordell. The rest of the cast appears to be single.
Love Island: Beyond the Villa spinoff predictions and what we want to see
We know a bit about the Islanders’ lives offscreen thanks to social media, but we’re hoping to dig deeper on Beyond the Villa.
One topic that still interests fans is Kaylor and Aaron’s breakup. The former couple fell fast and hard on Season 6, coupling up on day one and spending the majority of their time together. At one point, they were the strongest couple in the Villa and the biggest threat to win the $100,000. However, their romance took a turn for the worse when Aaron’s head was turned by bombshell Daniela Ortiz-Rivera in Casa Amor.
Aaron returned to the Villa a single man who still wanted to pursue Kaylor, but his actions in Casa Amor came back to haunt him. Kaylor forgave him on the show, but she ended the relationship after she watched the season. I want to learn more about the end of their relationship on the spinoff. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Kaylor give Aaron another shot after filming together, but I’m hoping she doesn’t. It’s a good thing her BFF Liv will be there to keep her grounded.
Love Island: Beyond the Villa wishlist
Speaking of Liv, I’m curious to see more about her dating life on the show. The fan favorite struggled to find a connection in the Villa, and many fans felt production did her dirty by not bringing in a good match for her. I would love to learn more about Liv’s type and dating preferences on Beyond the Villa. The Queen deserves to find her King!
Finally, I would like to see more of Leah and Miguel and JaNa, and Kenny’s relationships on the spinoff. Fans are interested in how these beloved couples have been navigating life outside the Villa and dealing with online speculation about their relationships.
Love Island USA is available to stream on Peacock.
