Why Is ‘Love Island USA’ Season 7 Not On Peacock Yet? The Premiere Is ‘Delayed’

Get ready for the texts to start rolling in – a steamy new season of Love Island USA drops on June 3. Ten hopeful singles are entering the villa to find love and take home a $100,000 cash prize. But as fans know, paradise only lasts for so long. This season will bring “bigger twists and turns than ever before,” Peacock teased.

Based on the beloved UK series of the same name, the U.S. edition follows a new group of singles, known as Islanders, searching for love in a luxurious villa in Fiji. Throughout the competition, the Islanders must take on challenges and resist temptation as new “bombshells” arrive, forcing them to choose whether to stay with their current partners or couple up with someone new.
