We got a text! Love Island USA is back — sort of. The cast of Season 6 returns for a spinoff series, and we've put together everything you need to know about where to watch Love Island: Beyond the Villa.
Love Island: Beyond the Villa premiered the same day that Love Island USA Season 7 wrapped up, so Love Island fans don't need to worry about missing out on any summer drama. The new series, also on Peacock, follows the cast of Love Island USA Season 6 one year later. Instead of Fiji, they're in Los Angeles, where they're surrounded by the real world (and each other). JaNa Craig, Aaron Evans, Miguel Harichi, Leah Kateb, Kaylor Martin, Connor Newsum, Serena Page, Kenny Rodriguez, Olivia Walker, and Kendall Washington are among the returning cast members.
If you can't wait to tune in, you've come to the right place. We've outlined all the details below. The show premiered on Sunday, July 13, but new episodes will drop weekly on Thursdays starting July 17.

Where to watch Love Island: Beyond the Villa in the US
Like its predecessor, Love Island: Beyond the Villa drops on Peacock. New episodes are available weekly on Thursdays, so fans will have to wait a little bit longer between episodes than they do for regular Love Island. Peacock subscriptions start at $8 a month for ad-supported on-demand streaming, but you can upgrade to ad-free for $14 a month. This Premium Plus tier also unlocks NBC live streaming. Both tiers come with an impressive collection of on-demand reality programming, including The Traitors and several popular Bravo shows.
Peacock is a convenient streaming source for hit NBC TV shows, Universal movies, and select sports like Sunday Night Football. The service also carries its own slate of original programming.
How to watch Love Island: Beyond the Villa from anywhere
Fans who are traveling away from home can still keep up with their usual websites, apps, and services with the help of a VPN, or virtual private network. VPNs are easy-to-use cybersecurity apps that enable people to change their virtual locations so that they can access everything just like they would back home. Since the service we've highlighted today requires a US payment method, this will work best for Americans who are simply abroad at the moment.
NordVPN is our top recommendation right now. It's a top-rated VPN with tons of servers, impressive cybersecurity features, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can learn more about it in our NordVPN review.
