While fans are certainly excited for another round of Love Island-style drama while waiting for the next season of the official show, some are hoping Love Island USA Season 7 fans don’t interfere too much. That's because viewers will get to vote on the contestants’ fates, as Ariana Madix explained in a promo clip on Peacock’s Instagram.
One fan wrote in the comments of the post, “Please, Love Island szn fans, don’t touch this,” while another added, “Get ready for these new fans to dig into everyone’s past and ruin this season too!”
Will there be bombshells in 'Love Island Games' Season 2?
Considering that Season 1 of Love Island Games had plenty of bombshells, Season 2 is expected to follow the same structure, but with one key difference. This time, viewers will be watching the islanders in real time, just like they do with Love Island USA. And as mentioned, fans can vote for their favorite couples in the Love Island USA app, so your opinion matters more than ever this season!
In Season 1, there were 14 bombshells, bringing the cast total to 26 (it started with 12 original cast members). For Season 2, the show is kicking off with 14 cast members, but to keep the momentum and drama high, bombshells will continue to be dropped regularly throughout the season, according to USA Today.
Season 2 of Love Island Games will kick things off with a two-episode premiere on Sept. 16, with episodes dropping daily during that week. Afterward, new episodes will air daily from Thursday through Tuesday.
