The Villa fun never ends. Fresh off another wild summer of Love Island USA, Peacock announced details for the upcoming season of Love Island Games, which has tapped a new host and set an official premiere date, and released an official teaser trailer.

Here’s everything you need to know about Season 2 of Love Island Games

What is Love Island Games? 

Filmed in Fiji, Love Island Games brings together fan-favorite Islanders from various Love Island series across the globe — USA, U.K., Australia, and beyond. They'll be attempting another shot at love as they compete to be crowned the champion of Love Island Games and win the $100,000 grand prize. In this cheeky new iteration of the competition series, couples will compete in challenges while navigating dating, eliminations, recoupling, dramatic arrivals, and new competition twists and turns that help control the game like never before. And this season, America's vote will determine the players' fates. 

When does Season 2 of Love Island Games premiere? 

Season 2 of Love Island Games premieres Tuesday, Sept 16, only on Peacock. You can stream all of Love Island Games Season 1 on Peacock. 

Who is hosting Season 2 of Love Island Games? 

Love Island USA host Ariana Madix has been named the new host of Love Island Games. Madix guest hosted challenges during Season 1 of the Love Island USA spin-off series. Love Island UK presenter Maya Jama hosted the first season.  

Love Island USA: Aftersun’s Maura Higgins returns as the social media host. Iain Stirling will reprise his role as the narrator. 

Is there a trailer for Season 2 of Love Island Games?

Funny you should ask, Peacock released a brand new 30-second promo on Friday, Aug 22 teasing the upcoming season. Unlike Season 1, viewers will get the chance to follow along as the season plays out in real time and cast their vote, playing a major role in how their favorite Islanders do in the game. 

"Your favorite Islanders are returning to the Villa and they're getting physical in high-stakes challenges to win the ultimate game of love. So put on your game face on and suit up because this season, your vote determines their fate. Now let's do this!" Ariana exclaims. 

Game. On.
