**Peacock Revives Love Island: Beyond the Villa for Another Season**
Peacock is bringing back *Love Island: Beyond the Villa* for another spin. The streaming service announced on Friday that the Islanders from Season 7 of *Love Island USA* will be featured in this new season of *Beyond the Villa*, with the season’s winners Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales taking center stage.
Filming is set to begin next week, with a premiere date scheduled for early 2026. Notably, Espinal and Arenales have already ended their relationship, hinting at plenty of juicy drama ahead as the series explores the post-breakup fallout between the two.
Other cast members joining this season include fellow Season 7 contestants Clarke Carraway, Hannah Fields, Pepe Garcia, Iris Kendall, Gracyn Blackmore, Jeremiah Brown, TJ Palma, Andreina Santos, Taylor Williams, Chris Seeley, Belle-A Walker, and Coco Watson.
However, several fan favorites from the seventh season were notably absent from the *Beyond the Villa* cast. Stars like Huda Mustafa, Nic Vansteenberghe, Ace Greene, and Olandria Carthen did not make the cut.
In the series, cameras follow former *Love Island* contestants as they return home from Fiji and navigate their newfound fame. Along the way, viewers get to see the cast members hang out—or even more—with their former co-stars.
The announcement sparked mixed reactions among fans on Instagram. Many commentators expressed disappointment over the omission of several beloved contestants. One user wrote, “no ace no chelley no nic, no olandria no huda???” Another added, “no ace chelley olandria or nic too?? yawn save it.”
Other comments voiced similar frustrations:
– “Respectfully Belle-A, Coco, Gracyn, Iris & TJ basically gave us nothing all season. What makes you think we wanna see what they did outside the villa?”
– “No one wanted this. Literally no one. It was hands down the worst season of LI USA.”
– “Not a single soul asked for this actually.”
Despite the criticism, Season 1 of *Love Island: Beyond the Villa* is currently streaming on Peacock for those who want to catch up before the new season drops.
Stay tuned for more updates as the next chapter of *Beyond the Villa* unfolds!
