Grab your towels and sunscreen; Love Island USA is back for another wild season. The fifth iteration of the UK spinoff premieres on July 18 and will stream exclusively on Peacock, according to the show’s trailer that dropped on June 21.
The franchise’s longtime narrator Iain Stirling returns and he’s once again locked and loaded with quips and comedic jabs. “Hold onto your bikini strings, America,” Stirling says in the trailer. “Your summer of love is back!”
Watch the Love Island USA season 5 trailer below:
The reality competition show follows individuals pursuing love (and fame and fortune) while living in a house together. The Islanders couple-up, compete in challenges, and face elimination all while being watched 24/7. The USA version premiered in 2019 following the success of its UK predecessor — which is currently airing its tenth season.
A $100,000 check awaits the last pair standing. All-in-all, four couples have claimed the grand prize: season 1’s Elizabeth Weber and Zac Mirabelli, season 2’s Justine Ndiba and Caleb Corprew, season 3’s Olivia Kaiser and Korey Gandy, and season 4’s Zeta Morrison and Timmy Pandolfi. Season 5’s cast has yet to be announced.
“Set in Fiji, season 5 of the Peacock Original Love Island USA will feature a new group of sexy singles on a search for love in a beautiful villa,” the streaming platform’s breakdown of the season reads.
How to watch ‘Love Island USA’ on Peacock
Peacock is a streaming platform that’s been around since 2020 and boasts a broad inventory of original and licensed movies and TV series. It’s only available in seven countries, however: the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Austria, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. Peacock is not available in Canada.
Sign up on the platform to get started; Peacock offers two monthly plans. Its “Premium” offer is $4.99/month and includes access to all its movies, TV shows, and live sports and events. Subscribers can also watch more than 50 different channels. And for $9.99, users can get the “Premium Plus” bundle – which includes all of Premium’s features plus no advertisements (there are exceptions), the subscriber’s local NBC channel, and the ability to download select movies and TV shows for offline viewing.
Once that’s done, search “Love Island USA” to get to the show’s page, or find it through Peacock’s front page. Episodes will populate there right when they become available, and they’ll drop daily. Just like other platforms, all viewers have to do is click on the episode they want to watch, and it’ll start streaming — it’s that easy.
