Taking place in Fiji, the inaugural season of Love Island Games on Peacock reunites beloved Islanders from multiple Love Island series spanning the U.S.A., U.K., Australia and beyond.
The contestants are eager for a second chance at love as they engage in team and couple challenges, dating, eliminations and, of course, drama. Love Island Games maintains some resemblance to the original series, featuring singles seeking true love, making connections, hooking up and forming couples.
However, unlike the original, the couples can shift from week to week. Contestants include both familiar faces and those meeting for the first time, representing various iterations of Love Island.
Everything about Love Island Games Location
The latest reality TV sensation, featuring former Islanders like Toby Aromolaran, Liberty Poole and Megan Barton Hanson, emerges as the ideal remedy for the gloomy weather. What better way to embrace the coziness than with a hot chocolate and some drama-packed television?
Love Island Games was filmed in Fiji, a picturesque group of islands in the South Pacific. Renowned for its stunning landscape, swaying palm trees, gorgeous coastline and pristine beaches, Fiji's hot weather provided an ideal setting for the islanders to form connections and engage in competition.
In the new show set in Fiji, the Islanders, accustomed to public votes dictating their villa stay, had to rely on their individual capabilities. They faced team and couple challenges, engaging in various games and duels.
Unlike Mallorca, Spain, where the UK version of Love Island is traditionally filmed, these South Pacific islands offer a distinct backdrop. Interestingly, Fiji was also the location for the Love Island USA villa, but it's uncertain if the same villa was used for Love Island Games.
