We’ve got a text! It’s time for another season of Love Island Games following the dramatic finale of Love Island USA Season 7. With fan-favorites returning from the entire franchise, read on to discover when Love Island Games Season 2 premieres, how to watch and more.
Love Island Games is a relatively new spinoff in the Love Island franchise that first premiered in 2023. The show follows a similar format to the original series, but with one major difference — all contestants are returning Islanders from previous seasons of Love Island from around the world, including the USA, UK, Australia and more.
Similar to Love Island USA, the show will be hosted by former Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix, who is taking over from Love Island UK star Maya Jama. Iain Stirling is back as narrator, while UK alum Maura Higgins will once again host Love Island: Aftersun on Saturdays.
Jack Fowler and Justine Ndiba were named the first-ever winners of Love Island Games in 2023. Justine had previously won Love Island USA Season 2 with Caleb Corprew, while Jack was a contestant on Love Island UK Season 4. Unfortunately, the couple split. In March 2024, Fowler announced on his Instagram story that they had decided to remain “just friends.”
As for the Season 2 cast, fans will recognize familiar faces from Love Island USA Season 7, alongside stars from Seasons 6 and 5. Here’s everything you need to know about Love Island Games Season 2.
