'Love Island: Beyond the Villa' Season 2 cast revealed ahead of 2026 premiere

Peacock reveals the full cast of Love Island: Beyond the Villa Season 2, with returning stars and new faces

The complete cast list for Love Island: Beyond the Villa Season 2 has officially been revealed, confirming which familiar faces will return for the new season. Peacock has renewed the hit reality series, set to premiere in early 2026.

The returning islanders will be joined by new contestants as they revisit old connections and test whether relationships formed in the villa can survive beyond it. Peacock teased that “other Islanders from season 7” may also appear, keeping fans guessing about potential surprise arrivals.

The announced cast includes Gracyn Blackmore, Jeremiah Brown, Clarke Carraway, Hannah Fields, Pepe Garcia, Iris Kendall, TJ Palma, Andreina Santos, Chris Seeley, Belle-A Walker, Coco Watson, and Taylor Williams. Notably, Love Island USA season 7 winners Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales are also set to return, despite confirming their split earlier this year.

Amaya addressed their breakup on Instagram, writing, “Bryan and I are no longer together. After leaving the villa, it became very clear that we were on two different journeys. Our visions didn’t align and relationships are supposed to be a team sport.” Bryan shared a similar message, adding that they “gained clarity” about being on different paths but continue to support one another.

Several former islanders, including Olandria Carthen, Nic Vansteenberghe, Allen “Ace” Steve Greene, and Michelle “Chelley” Evelyn Bissainthe, are not part of the new cast, and there is no confirmation of their return. Jeremiah’s former partner Huda Mustafa and Nic’s ex Cierra Ortega are also not featured in the announcement.

Filming for Beyond the Villa Season 2 begins next week, with cast members set to appear at BravoCon in Las Vegas on November 16. Previous seasons of Love Island: Beyond the Villa and Love Island USA are available to stream exclusively on Peacock.
