The Season 6 cast of Love Island USA is getting a spinoff! The new series, titled Love Island: Beyond the Villa will premiere on Sunday, July 13 on Peacock. After the premiere, new episodes will be released every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET. The cast list includes many fan favorites from Season 6, including Leah Kateb, Miguel Harichi, Serena Page, JaNa Craig, Kenny Rodriguez, Kaylor Martin, and more. The first teaser trailer, released on June 9, promised a season of drama, romance, and more.
Let’s unpack the drama together. Here are the biggest bombshells from the Love Island: Beyond the Villa trailer.
Kaylor Martin invited Aaron Evans to “see her crib”
Kaylor Martin and Aaron Evans coupled up on Day 1 in the Villa after sharing a steamy kiss in a challenge. Their connection was instant and many fans suspected they would take home the $100,000 prize come finale day. Unfortunately, Aaron was tempted by bombshell Daniela Ortiz-Rivera while away from Kaylor’s watchful eye in Casa Amor. They spent days kissing and flirting but in the end, Aaron chose to return to the Villa single, hopeful he could repair his relationship with Kaylor.
Lucky for Aaron, Kaylor forgave his indiscretions and the two got back together. That was until she exited the Villa and watched the Casa Amor episodes. She broke up with him shortly after.
Kaylor and Aaron were not together during filming for Love Island: Beyond the Villa, but the teaser trailer showed they are still in each other’s lives. In one clip, Kaylor asks Aaron back to her place, saying, “Wanna see my crib?” We don’t know much about what led up to the question, but it definitely piqued our interest.
Exes Kendall Washington and Nicole Jacky reunite in the Love Island: Beyond the Villa trailer
Kendall Washington and Nicole Jacky made it to the finale together and even exchanged I love yous in the Villa. They left the show together and fans had high hopes they would make it in the real world. Unfortunately, a sexting scandal derailed the relationship within a couple of weeks. Shortly after the islanders left the Villa, a nude video of Kendall surfaced online. Nicole said Kendall misled her about when the video was taken, which caused the relationship to crumble. They broke up shortly after the reunion aired.
“Today, on August 20th, [Kendall] called and ended things,” Nicole shared in an Instagram story. “While I understand and respect his decision, It’s hard to process this one. I opened up to him in the villa, and still love and care for him now. I’m struggling mentally and all l ask for is privacy during this time.”
The breakup drama continues in Love Island: Beyond the Villa. The teaser trailer showed Nicole and Kendall discussing their relationship over cocktails. The conversation looked tense with Nicole accusing Kendall of talking sh*t about her. Yikes.
Villa besties Kaylor Martin and Liv Walker are fighting
Kaylor and Liv Walker were besties in Season 6 of Love Island USA, but the Love Island: Beyond the Villa trailer teased a bit of drama between the two. Apparently, Kaylor is upset that Liv didn’t tell her she was getting glam. And Liv is upset Kaylor didn’t mention getting a spray tan. I’ll be honest, their “drama” looks pretty manufactured, but it may be deeper than the trailer revealed. We’ll have to wait and see…
JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez clash over living arrangements in the Love Island: Beyond the Villa trailer
JaNa and Kenny found love in the Villa, but is their relationship ready for the real world? The two have been dating since Season 6 wrapped and their social media makes it seem like they are always together. However, the spinoff trailer revealed some tension in the relationship. Kenny is not ready to move in with JaNa, which is causing some drama.
“I told you I want us to live together,” JaNa says to Kenny at dinner. He replies, “I wanted separation … from you.” Ouch. I’m curious to learn more about their relationship in the new series.
Love Island USA: Beyond the Villa is available to stream on Peacock.
