We started the summer in Fiji, and we will end the summer in Fiji. Love Island Games is returning for Season 2 and Peacock just announced the star-studded lineup of fan-favorite Islanders from across the globe who will be competing in the Ariana Madix-hosted game show.
In Love Island Games—which, like the flagship show, will air in real-time this season—the Islanders will participate in team and couple competitions for their chance to win a cash prize, “all while navigating dating, eliminations, recouplings, dramatic arrivals, and new competition twists and turns that help control the game like never before,” per a press release provided to Decider.
Madix will return as host alongside narrator Ian Stirling and Maura Higgins, who will host the weekly after show. Season 2’s two-hour premiere drops on Tuesday, Sept. 16 at 9/8c on Peacock and new episodes will air every day during premiere week. After that, new episodes will air every night except for Wednesdays.
So, who is going back to Fiji? We’ve got Andrea Carmona from Love Island USA Season 6, Below Deck’s Soléne Favreau, and more. Keep reading to find out the first 14 Islanders who will be competing on Love Island Games:

Love Island USA fans will remember Andrea Carmona from one of the most dramatic dumpings in Love Island history, when Serena Page, Leah Kateb, and Liv Walker chose to dump her from the villa just as she was building her connection with Rob Rausch in Season 6. Here’s hoping that this time she doesn’t get “robbed” of her experience!

Andreina Santos turned heads when Megan Thee Stallion introduced her in Love Island USA Season 7. While she only lasted a short while after Casa Amor, she has stayed in the conversation on social media. She was most recently seen defending Jaden Duggar as she confronted her former connection Austin Shepard at the Season 7 reunion. We love a girl’s girl!

I could not be more excited to see Charlie Georgiou back on our screens! Charlie was wrongfully dumped from the villa in Season 7 mere moments after he and Hannah Fields solidified their connection. She then swiftly moved on to Pepe Garcia, which came to an end when she was voted off the island. Since Hannah shut down any possibility for romance with Charlie at the Season 7 reunion, this could be his time to shine.

Chris Seeley is a pro basketball player, so we’re confident that he’ll be bringing some competitiveness to Love Island Games. He also was part of one of the summer’s most viral scenes when, shortly after he and Huda Mustafa decided to end their relationship in the Love Island USA Season 7 finale, a singer walked out to serenade them on their date. We’re expecting some more meme-worthy content, Chris!

Garbi Denteh, a runner-up on Love Island Belgium Season 4, is ready to compete. She might not be a “very sporty person,” but she’s hopeful that fans will take a page out of her book and root for the “underdog.”

Isaiah Campbell came in second place with Sydney Paight in Love Island USA Season 4. Isaiah’s actions in the villa often left Sydney in tears, so it’s not surprising that they didn’t stand the test of time. While they stayed together through 2022 and 2023, their relationship ultimately came to an end when Isaiah got black-out drunk at the Jersey Shore and shared videos of him kissing another woman, per ScreenRant. Hopefully, his bad-boy ways are a thing of the past and he’s able to find love again in Fiji.

Out of the entire Love Island Games Season 2 cast, Lucinda Strafford has the biggest following, which is not surprising since she appeared on not one, but two different installments of Love Island. Perhaps her third time at finding love on TV is the charm!

Solene Favreau made her reality TV debut in Love Island France Season 2. But she’s also known for appearing in the most recent season of Below Deck as a stewardess. Solene was the center of a lot of drama in Below Deck, finding herself in a love triangle with stew Barbara Kulaif and deckhand Jess Theron after hooking up with deckhand Kyle Stillie. She’s fun, flirty, and not afraid to get messy—so we’re looking forward to seeing what she will bring to Love Island Games!

Josh Goldstein’s time on Love Island USA Season 3 came to a heartbreaking end when he found out that his older sister had passed away while he was in Fiji.

They date on-and-off for two years before they called it quits for good in 2023.
