It’s time to dust off your bikinis and grab your oversized white water bottle because the Villa is almost open. Season 7 of Love Island USA will premiere on Tuesday, June 3 at 9 p.m. ET exclusively on Peacock. Following the premiere, new episodes will be released every night excluding Wednesday, so you can divulge in the drama six days a week. Ariana Madix will return to host the upcoming season and comedian Iain Stirling will continue to narrate all the drama in the Villa this summer.
We can hardly contain our excitement about the new season. The US version shattered records last summer, becoming the most-watched reality TV competition show in Peacock’s history. Season 6 was so successful that the cast scored a spinoff show, titled, Love Island: Beyond the Villa. Season 7 has big shoes to fill and we’re hoping the new Islanders are up to the task.
Fan theories about the new season have been floating around since the release date was announced. We decided to join in on the action.
Here are our Love Island USA Season 7 predictions.
Someone from Season 6 Casa Amor will return
Rob Rausch is best remembered for being one of the main Islanders in Season 6, but that was not his first appearance on the show. Fans were first introduced to Rob in Season 5 when he was a bombshell in Casa Amor. He made quite an impact on viewers, but unfortunately, he was not asked to rejoin the Villa. He was brought back the following season for another chance at love. Rob’s second chance made viewers wonder if production will give a Season 6 Casa Amor resident the same treatment.
One name that’s been floating around is Jalen Oliver. In Season 6, Jalen tried his luck with Kaylor Martin but her heart was with Aaron Evans. Fans liked Jalen and wanted Kaylor to choose him after seeing how Aaron behaved in Casa Amor. If there is a returning cast member, Jalen seems like a perfect choice. Another option could be bombshell Daniela Ortiz-Rivera. She gained a fanbase despite being painted as the villain. The girls didn’t blame her for pursuing Aaron and (most) fans agreed. I would like to see her get a second chance on the show.
Serena and Kordell return to host a challenge
Viewers fell in love with Serena Page and Kordell Beckham’s relationship in Season 6. It wasn’t always smooth sailing but fans saw there was a real connection between them. They split the $100,000 grand prize in the finale and left the Villa together. A year later, they are still going strong, regularly posting relationship content on social media. I think it’s likely we’ll see these two return at some point in Season 7. They may host a challenge or give advice to the Islanders. Either way, I’ll be happy to have them back on my TV screen.
The Islanders will be more aware about social media
Let’s be honest, all reality TV contestants think about social media. It’s an extremely powerful tool that has the power to completely change someone’s life for better or worse. All previous Islanders saw a boost in their social media following after appearing on the show, but Season 6 was a whole new ballgame. Fan favorite Leah Kateb left the Villa to discover she had garnered millions of followers. The popularity of the Season 6 cast cannot compare to any other season. I have to believe the Season 7 Islanders are well aware there are more eyes on the show than ever before. I worry this could negatively impact the series. The contestants may be too aware of the cameras, which could affect the authenticity of the show.
During a May 2025 appearance on the Barstool Sports podcast Chicks In the Office, host Ariana Madix encouraged the new Islanders to leave their expectations at the door.
“Last season was lightning in a bottle,” she said. “This season…no one should try to recreate or live up to [Season 6]. I think what makes Love Island so great is that each season is so unique.”
Love Island USA is available to stream on Peacock.
