Now that reality TV’s newest winners have been crowned—with Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales winning Love Island USA season 7—you might think it’s time to move on from the Villa and focus on Big Brother or Bachelor in Paradise. But you’d be wrong, because this season isn’t over. That’s right, we’re getting a Love Island USA season 7 reunion—and TMZ just provided a first look at who did (and didn’t) get an invite.
Host Ariana Madix announced the news at the end of the finale on Sunday, July 13, saying that the final four couples would be flown out to New York City for a reunion special. And given how much drama happened in the Villa this season and the fact that the season skipped movie night—a Love Island tradition where contestants get to see clips from the show—the reunion is not to be missed.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Love Island USA season 7 reunion, from who’s hosting to when to watch.
The reunion will premiere Monday, August 25, on Peacock, so you’ll have to wait another month before seeing Chris and Huda’s inevitable showdown.
Who is hosting the Love Island season 7 reunion?
Ariana will pick up her hosting duties—but don’t worry, she won’t be doing it alone. Andy Cohen, a reality TV show reunion vet, will be co-hosting the event.
Which cast members will be attending the Love Island season 7 reunion?
Filming for the finale began in NYC on August 12, and TMZ dropped a glimpse of the arrivals, which included a few surprises. For instance: Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez arrived hand-in-hand, suggesting their love has lasted beyond the Villa, while Olandria Carthen, Nic Vansteenberghe, and winners Amaya and Bryan were spotted arriving at the Manhattan studio “separately from the rest.”
Neither Huda Mustafa nor Chris Seeley were spotted heading in for filming, but they’re still expected to be a part of the reunion.
Other cast members snapped by TMZ included Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene (who entered the studio holding hands and grinning), as well as Clarke Carraway and Taylor Williams (who, notably, walked in separately, perhaps suggesting they’ve called it quits). And while realize the latter couple is not exactly a fan-favorite, it really wouldn’t be a season 7 reunion without Taylor and Olandria hashing things out.
Though he wasn’t spotted entering the studio for filming, I also wouldn’t be surprised to see Jeremiah Brown swing by for a confrontation with Huda. And, who knows, maybe we’ll get to see Austin Shepard and Zak Srakaew grovel for Amaya’s forgiveness. I can’t wait!
