Love Island USA Season 7: Everything to Know About the Bombshell-Filled Dating Show's Return TRANGHO

   

Summer is right around the corner — and so is another scorching hot season of Love Island USA.

Season 7 of the fan-favorite Peacock reality dating show, based on the original U.K. series Love Island, will once again bring together a group of attractive singles, aka the "islanders," who are hoping to find love and take home the $100,000 cash prize.

Daily life in the villa is punctuated by games and challenges, designed to reveal secrets, provoke drama and test the strength of relationships. And when bombshells arrive — new men and women who enter the villa single in hopes of breaking up a preexisting couple — there's no telling what will happen.

Back to host season 7 of Love Island USA is Vanderpump Rules alum Ariana Madix.

"What I want to see on season 7 is girl power [and] true love," she told Peacock. "I want to see crazy challenges, and as much as I love the drama, I really just want to see people having fun."

Here's everything to know about Love Island USA season 7.

Who is in the Love Island USA season 7 cast? 

On May 29, Peacock announced the first 10 Islanders of the Love Island USA season 7 cast.

The first five men will be Jeremiah Brown, Nicolas Vansteenberghe, Taylor Williams, Austin Shepard and Ace Greene. They will be joined in the villa on day one by Belle-A Walker, Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Olandria Carthen and Yulissa Escobar. The remaining cast members will join throughout the season as bombshells.

Ahead of the premiere, PEOPLE asked season 6 winner Kordell Beckham to share his advice for the season 7 islanders.

“Just be comfortable with yourself. That's literally it. Just be you. Be the best you you can be,” he said. “You don't have to put on the front for anybody. They'll love you for you."

Kordell added, “Don't get in your head, trying to create this image for the audience. Just be you."

Madix also offered her two cents for the newcomers while speaking to Peacock.

"My advice for islander guys: be here for the right reasons. I'm not here for guys trying to get up their Instagram following," she said. "Advice for islander girls: never settle for less than what you truly know you deserve."
