Love Island Games Season 2 Release Date
Love Island Games is back—and if you’re as impatient for sun, scandals, and those over-the-top challenges as I am, the wait is nearly done. Season 2 drops its first episode on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, exclusively on Peacock. A two-year hiatus (yes, two—they really made us miss the chaos!) has only increased the anticipation for what promises to be a wild ride in the infamous Fijian villa. There were whispers about the show’s return all through this (very long) off-season, with social feeds flooding every time even a rumor dropped. When the official premiere date finally landed, honestly, I did a little happy dance—because does September really count as post-summer if you still have Islanders in swimwear on TV?
More than just a rerun of last year’s sunburn and slow-motion makeouts, Season 2 injects real-time drama by letting viewers decide (sometimes cruelly, if I’m honest) who stays, who couples, and who’s getting the heartbreak soundtrack treatment. That means, as you’re doomscrolling through your Monday, you could literally boot someone from paradise. Power trip, anyone?
Love Island Games Season 2 Cast
The cast this season is—let’s be real—a gift to the reality gods: a melting pot of fan-favorites and firecrackers imported from the US, UK, Australia, France, Belgium, even Malta and South Africa. Some of these personalities have been marinating in Love Island drama for a few years, so expect smoother pick-up lines (maybe) but no shortage of messy recouplings.

Here’s just a taste of the eclectic bunch jumping in this year:
- Andrea Carmona (Miami, USA Season 6)
- Andreina Santos-Marte (Jersey City, USA Season 7)
- Charlie Georgios (Birmingham, UK/USA Season 7)
- Garbi Denteh (Antwerp, Belgium/Netherlands Season 4)
- Vickala “Kay Kay” Gray (Palestine, Texas, USA Season 5)
- Lucinda Strafford (Brighton, UK Series 7 & Australia Season 5—she’s doing an international tour apparently)
- Solene Favreau (Cannes, France Season 2)
- Nicola Gauci Borda-Warr (St. Paul’s Bay, Malta Season 1)
Oh, and Ariana Madix is hosting, stepping in with her signature sense of humor and a talent for keeping even the most lovesick Islanders in line. Iain Stirling (whose voiceovers are basically a Love Island drinking game waiting to happen) is back for narration, and Maura Higgins is running the ‘Aftersun’ recap show—she has strong opinions and isn’t afraid to let them out. Basically, even if nobody finds true love, at least the audience won’t be bored.
I remember once seeing Kay Kay Gray absolutely roast a fellow Islander for stepping on her toes (literally) on a challenge day. Here’s hoping that cheeky energy survives the Fijian sun again.
How to Watch Love Island Games Season 2?
Ready to binge the romance, madness, and occasional mud-wrestling? You can only watch Love Island Games Season 2 on Peacock. The premiere is September 16, 2025, and the first episode is two hours long—because the producers know we have zero patience for slow starts. New episodes roll out daily at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT during premiere week.
Not in the US? That’s where things get a little annoying: official information on international streaming (like in India or the UK) hasn’t dropped yet. If you’re in those regions, keep an eye out—last year episodes eventually landed on local services, sometimes after a little delay (and more than a few social media spoilers). So, if you’re serious about avoiding spoilers, social media detox is probably your friend for a week or so.
