The premiere of Love Island USA season 5 finale on August 27, 2023, has left fans of the show asking for more. Although an official announcement is yet to come, it is expected that fans of Love Island USA will not have to wait much longer for the sixth season, and a declaration might just be around the corner. Going by the release trend of the show's previous seasons, it is likely that the sixth season will air sometime in mid-summer 2024. The cast list and plot are yet to be revealed.
Love Island USA season 5 concluded with an eventful finale filled with drama, romance, and gossip in the guise of camaraderie and tomfoolery. The finale episode saw Marco Donatelli and Hannah Wright emerge as season winners. The competition ended in the scenic landscape of Fiji and was hosted by Sarah Hyland.
What is Love Island USA season 6 about?
According to CBS, the official description of the show reads:
"Love Island is the sizzling summer series based on the international smash hit and cultural phenomenon. The matchmaking begins as a group of single “Islanders” come together in a stunning villa in Las Vegas, ready to embark on a summer of dating, romance, and ultimately, relationships. Every few days the Islanders pair up and those who are not coupled are at risk of being dumped from the island.
The description added:
Islanders are on the lookout for romance, but the road to love doesn’t always run smoothly. Challenges abound with intriguing new Islander arrivals and dramatic twists as friendships and relationships form. In addition to choosing their partners wisely, Islanders must also win the hearts of viewers who have the opportunity to shape events on screen and ultimately crown one lucky couple the winner who will then have the chance to walk away with both love and the cash prize."
Love Island USA transitioned from CBS to Peacock ahead of the release of season 5, and it is expected that the upcoming season will continue to feature on the same network platform.
According to ScreenRant, it is likely that the casting for the upcoming season is already underway, and unbeknownst to us, potential islanders are being handpicked by the makers of the show.
The release schedule of the show closely resembles that of its UK counterpart and releases nightly episodes. The fifth season of the show consisted of a remarkable thirty-seven episodes, which first aired on July 18, 2023.
Fans can expect new episodes of the sixth season to follow this same principle and premiere on weekdays at 9 PM ET, unless there are no major changes to boot. Sarah Hyland might, in all probability, reprise her role as the show's beloved host.
The complete cast light for the next season remains a mystery as of now, emphasizing the fact that the show draws contestants from all walks of life, giving them a chance to live the life of islanders and stake their claims to winning the $100,000. It wouldn't be a surprise if some show alumni return in season 6.
Also, fans can expect a few celebrity additions. Season 5 featured Ariana Madix of Vanderpump Rules fame, leaving the audience surprised.
Needless to say, good things come to those who wait, and we will be waiting for Love Island USA Season 6.
