Love Island season 6 premiered on June 11, 2024, introducing 12 new islanders—six women and six men in their 20s—who wasted no time coupling up. It didn't take long before Love Island season 6 became the hottest season last summer, thanks to their drama-filled relationships.
For example, the relationships between Kordell Beckham and Serena Page, as well as Aaron Evans and Kaylor Martin, were among the most talked-about throughout the season. Love Island season 6 cast after the reunion? Love Island: Beyond The Villa is set to reveal it all. Here’s what we know about the premiere, release date, and cast.
Love Island: Beyond The Villa Latest News
The Show Will Follow The Cast Around Los Angeles
According to Peacock, Love Island: Beyond The Villa will follow the season 6 cast as they navigate life in Los Angeles, juggling careers, friendships, and new relationships. Given how successful season 6 was, it’s no surprise it’s getting a spinoff. Per Luminate data shared by Variety, Love Island season 6 was the most-watched installment yet, racking up 919.1 million viewing minutes during the second week of July.
That made it Peacock’s top-performing unscripted series. With numbers like that, Love Island: Beyond The Villa is poised to draw just as much attention. It marks the franchise’s second spinoff, following Love Island Games, which is already set to return for another season.
Love Island: Beyond The Villa Release Date
Love Island: Beyond The Villa Gets The Green Light For Summer
Love Island: Beyond The Villa will air over the summer. No official date has been announced yet, but Peacock confirmed it will happen this year. Its debut date is dependent on when Love Island season 7 airs. Following the previous patterns of Love Island USA, the seventh edition is bound to premiere between June and September 2025. Based on this, Love Island: Beyond The Villa will likely premiere around the same time.
Love Island: Beyond The Villa Cast
It Will Feature Some Of The Fan-Favorite Islanders
Most of the Love Island season 6 cast are returning for Love Island: Beyond The Villa, including Kenny Rodriguez, Olivia Walker, JaNa Craig, Aaron Evans, and Kendall Washington. The new spinoff will also feature Miguel Harichi, Leah Kateb, Connor Newsum, Serena Page, and Kaylor Martin. Notably absent from the cast announcement is Rob Rausch. The snake enthusiast stirred up plenty of controversy during season 6, largely because he showed little interest in finding love.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
But this wasn’t Rob’s first time on the show. He originally ed Love Island season 5 as a bombshell on Day 15 but left shortly after failing to couple up with anyone. While there's been no official word on why he won't be appearing in Love Island: Beyond The Villa, his nomadic lifestyle might have something to do with it. Unlike most of his former castmates who’ve settled in LA, Rob seems to be constantly on the move, as seen on his Instagram, where he recently shared a Costa Rica photo dump, including pictures of him with snakes.
Will Kordell Beckham Feature On The Love Island USA Spinoff?
Yes He Will
Another notable absence from the Love Island: Beyond The Villa cast list was Kordell Beckham. It was surprising not to see the season 6 winner included, especially since his girlfriend, Serena, made the cut. People confirmed that even though the Love Island season 6 winner isn't in the main cast, he will still appear on Love Island: Beyond The Villa. He wasn’t a full-time participant because he was cast in a scripted series that conflicted with the Love Island: Beyond The Villa filming schedule.
Furthermore, People didn't confirm that their relationship was growing stronger and that Kordell would still be available to his girlfriend. The two seem like a great match. In the Love Island season 6 trailer, Serena talked about her desire to find her "short king," while Kordell proudly described himself as exactly that, adding that he wasn't afraid to shoot his shot with tall women. Seeing how things play out for them once Love Island: Beyond The Villa drops this summer will be interesting.
Love Island: Beyond The Villa will be available for streaming on Peacock during the summer of 2025.
