Love Island: Beyond the Villa – Host, cast and everything you need to know
By Aman Shukla Published on July 14, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated July 14, 2025, 12:16 IST Love Island: Beyond the Villa is the exciting new spinoff from the wildly popular Love Island USA Season 6, which became a pop culture sensation in the summer of 2024. Premiering on Peacock on July 13, 2025, this reality series takes fans outside the tropical villa to follow their favorite Islanders as they navigate life in Los Angeles. From new careers to evolving friendships and complex relationships, this show promises drama, heart, and plenty of surprises. Here's everything you need to know about the host, cast, and what makes this spinoff a must-watch. Who Hosts Love Island: Beyond the Villa? Love Island: Beyond the Villa doesn't have a confirmed main host, which is a bit of a curveball compared to Love Island USA 's Ariana Madix, who's been serving looks and witty one-liners. But don't worry—Ariana, Vanderpump Rules queen, still pops up in the spinoff with a special cameo. In the trailer, she's chilling with the PPG trio (Serena Page, Leah Kateb, and JaNa Craig) at her L.A. sandwich shop, Something About Her. She's all smiles, but don't expect her to guide the whole show. Instead, the series leans into a no-host vibe, letting the Islanders' real lives take center stage. It's less about a host narrating the chaos and more about raw, unfiltered moments—think documentary-style reality TV with a side of Love Island spice. What Is Love Island: Beyond the Villa About? Love Island: Beyond the Villa follows the Season 6 Islanders as they transition from the controlled environment of the Fiji villa to the fast-paced world of Los Angeles. The show dives into their lives post-villa, exploring themes like: New Careers : The Islanders are chasing professional opportunities, from brand partnerships to acting gigs. For example, Season 6 winner Kordell Beckham is filming a scripted project, Southern Fried Rice , with Keke Palmer, which explains his absence from the main cast. Evolving Friendships : The trailer hints at tension, particularly between besties Kaylor Martin and Olivia 'Liv' Walker, who argue over glam and spray tans, leading to emotional moments. Complex Relationships : Romantic connections from Season 6 are tested in the real world. Serena Page and Kordell Beckham navigate the strain of busy careers, while JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez debate moving in together. Exes Kaylor Martin and Aaron Evans also face awkward reunions. Newfound Fame: The Islanders grapple with the spotlight, social media buzz, and the pressures of being reality TV stars after Season 6's record-breaking success, which saw 919.1 million viewing minutes in its second week. This spinoff is a fresh take on the Love Island franchise, moving away from the dating competition format to a more documentary-style look at life after the villa. Expect drama, heartfelt moments, and plenty of the chaotic energy that made Season 6 a hit. Meet the Cast of Love Island: Beyond the Villa The main cast features fan-favorite Islanders from Love Island USA Season 6, with a few notable absences and surprise cameos: JaNa Craig : Part of the iconic PPG trio, JaNa navigates her relationship with Kenny Rodriguez and questions about cohabitation. Leah Kateb : Another PPG member, Leah introduces her partner Miguel Harichi to her horse, hinting at a playful take on 'parenthood.' Serena Page : The Season 6 winner, Serena balances her relationship with Kordell Beckham while dealing with his demanding career. Aaron Evans : Aaron faces tension with ex Kaylor Martin, stirring up unresolved feelings from their villa breakup. Miguel Harichi : Paired with Leah, Miguel brings humor to the show, especially when reacting to a crying baby doll sent to them. Kaylor Martin : Known for her emotional moments, Kaylor deals with friendship drama with Liv and a tense reunion with Aaron. Connor Newsum : A Season 6 favorite, Connor explores life in L.A. as he adjusts to fame. Kenny Rodriguez : JaNa's partner, Kenny faces decisions about their future together. Olivia 'Liv' Walker : Liv's friendship with Kaylor hits a rough patch, leading to emotional confrontations. Kendall Washington: Kendall navigates lingering feelings with ex Nicole Jacky, who makes a cameo. Notable Cameos Kordell Beckham : While not part of the main cast due to his acting commitments, Kordell appears in the trailer, discussing career opportunities that keep him away from Serena. Nicole Jacky : She makes a surprise appearance, hinting at unresolved issues with Kendall. Other Islanders: Peacock has teased additional former Islanders appearing throughout the season, though names like Robert Rausch, a Season 5 and 6 veteran, are notably absent from the main cast. When and Where to Watch Love Island: Beyond the Villa Love Island: Beyond the Villa premiered on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on Peacock, coinciding with the Love Island USA Season 7 finale.

I Watched 'Love Island: Beyond the Villa' & This Detail About The Islanders May Shock You
The Love Island USA season six cast is back and, honestly, I didn't realize how much I missed them until I hit play on Love Island: Beyond the Villa. The new Peacock spinoff reunites some of our favorite Islanders from last summer—JaNa Craig, Leah Kateb, Serena Page, Kenny Rodriguez, Miguel Harichi, Kaylor Martin, Aaron Evans, Olivia Walker, Kendall Washington and Connor Newsum—and drops them back into each other's lives one year after the villa. Let's just say, things are not as sunny as they once seemed. Right off the bat, it feels like a real reunion. The energy between JaNa, Serena and Leah—aka PPG—is still unmatched. And seeing where all the couples and friendships landed post-show adds a layer of realness you never quite get during the villa bubble. The show catches us up on what everyone's been doing but it's not just vibes and vibes only—some serious tension is bubbling to the surface. The first signs of trouble? The unraveling friendship between Liv and Kaylor. By the end of the episode, the two are already clashing, with Liv telling a few lies (about parties and glam, apparently) and Kaylor feeling iced out. Then there's the reunion between Kaylor and Aaron. I'm talking tense eye contact, awkward exchanges and clearly a whole lot left unsaid. Meanwhile, the JaNa and Connor drama from the villa is still simmering and Kenny's right in the middle of it but, of course, he's standing by JaNa like the loyal boyfriend he is. The first episodes take a moment to warm up, offering more heartwarming moments than drama—mostly the cast catching up by the pool or over a meal, Miguel meeting Leah's animals and Kendall casually flirting with a new girl. Still, I'm not worried. With this cast, the emotional stakes feel high and the feelings genuinely real. The most surprising part? The Islanders are exactly who they appeared to be on the show. It seems they were truly authentic both inside and outside the villa, which is honestly refreshing. My final verdict: I'll keep watching. Ultimately, I came for the nostalgia but I'm staying for the inevitable drama to come. Want all the latest entertainment news sent right to your inbox? Click here.

Why Kordell Beckham Is a ‘Love Island: Beyond the Villa' Guest Star
Serena Page and Kordell Beckham are not only the reigning champions of Love Island USA season 6, but serious couple goals for the folks who keep screaming at hot strangers on their TV screens every week. (It's me, hi.) The lovebirds are returning to Peacock thanks to Love Island: Beyond the Villa, a new spin-off series featuring a few of season 6's standout islanders. However, Serena revealed that her beau would only be returning as a guest star for the show's first season, while she's billed as a full-time cast member. 'At [first] he was going to do it with me. I had fully confirmed, signed the contracts, and everything, and then he got booked,' she shared during an interview with Teen Vogue. 'I was very proud of him, but I was sad and it made me very anxious about filming because I was like, 'Damn, I'm going to be alone.'' She dished that she was at least able to confide in her PPG besties, Leah Kateb and JaNa Craig, on the new show, adding, 'Granted, I have my girls, Leah and JaNa, but their men were on the show doing it with them. There were a lot of times where I was like, 'Damn, I don't know. We're supposed to be navigating our relationship, but you're about to be in a whole different state. What am I going to do?'' Though Kordell isn't a main cast member due to other projects—including a gig with Keke Palmer's KeyTV network—Serena added that he's still part of the Love Island family as one of its biggest supporters. 'He was like, 'I will be there for you whenever you need me,'' she revealed. 'But he wants to prioritize his acting. And as you know, from our first conversation, he let me know that was what he wanted to do.' She continued, 'But he did an amazing job reassuring me. He was like, 'Any crumb of a chance I can get, I'm going to be on that screen with you.' And honestly, you're going to see a lot more of him than you would've expected. It's maybe [only] a handful of scenes that I've done without him. Y'all will get to see some behind-the-scenes of me and him working together. Y'all get to see dates. He even ends up coming to Miami, too.' In addition to PPG, other returning cast members include Miguel Harichi, Kenny Rodriguez, Liv Walker, Kaylor Martin, Aaron Evans, Connor Newsum, and Kendall Washington. 'It was all or nothing,' Serena said of her decision to join the spin-off with JaNa and Leah. 'We talked and we said either we all are going to do it or none of us are going to do it. Kordell was the one from the beginning, you could tell never really wanted to do it, so I'm glad that he got booked because he really be chilling. My man is relaxed. He doesn't like all the extraness.' To catch up with our favorite former islanders, tune in to Love Island: Beyond the Villa, which premieres Sunday, July 13, on Peacock.
