Love Island USA boasts sexy singles and luxurious tropical locales — but where does the latest season take place?
Fans of the hit reality dating series headed back to the villas on Tuesday night (June 3) with host Ariana Madix, who took over Sarah Hyland‘s previous post last season. Season 6, which was filmed in Fiji. Some of the past season’s islanders are reuniting for a spinoff series, Love Island: Beyond the Villa.
When asked what advice she would give the cast of the new series, the Vanderpump Rules alum told DECIDER that they should remain themselves, noting that “they were so good at just being so true to themselves last season on Love Island.”
“It’s just a different environment,” she added. “But I think as long as they stick to that and be really themselves, I feel like that’s why we all fell in love with all of them in the first place. And you can’t go wrong if you’re just being yourself.”
Wondering where Season 7 of Love Island USA is filmed? Here is what we know.
The latest installment was filmed in Fiji. In fact, Season 7 takes place in the same villa where Season 6 was shot, per People. When Madix caught up with DECIDER in May, she said she was “so excited” to head back this summer for a new season.
“Every season of Love Island, in any country, it always brings something new and different and you never really know what you’re going to get until the ball is already rolling, the train has already left the station,” she shared. I find myself in the past watching seasons, maybe the first couple episodes, I’m like, “I don’t know.” And then by episode three, four, five, I’m hooked. I’m in love with them. I want them to be my best friends. I’m like, “Please, I can’t get enough.” So I’m just really excited to see what this year’s gonna be like because it’s really anyone’s guess.
The Love Island USA Season 7 cast kicked off last night with these ten islanders: Ace Greene, Austin Shepard, Belle-a Walker, Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Jeremiah Brown, Nicholas Vansteenberghe, Olandria Carthen, Taylor Williams, and Yulissa Escobar.
Up until next Tuesday (June 10), a new episode of Love Island drops on Peacock every night at 9 p.m. ET. After that, new episodes will stream Thursday-Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET.
