'Love Island USA' Season 7: How to watch, episode release schedule and more
The new season of Love Island USA premiered this week, kicking off six weeks of steamy reality romance that you can stream from the comfort of your couch (with the AC blasting). Season 7 sees a new group of sexy singles jet off to the villa in Fiji, where they'll look to couple up and win hearts both on and off the island to compete for $100,000. Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix is returning as the host for Season 7 to help guide the audience through what is sure to be plenty of drama, and of course, some dramatically good looks. Ready to dive right in to one of the steamiest reality shows of the summer? Here's everything you need to know about Love Island USA, including where to stream, release schedule, cast members and more. Love Island USA premiered Tuesday, June 3. New episodes will drop every night of the week, except Wednesday, at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. The American edition of Love Island streams exclusively on Peacock. True to the franchise's form, new episodes of Love Island USA will premiere six days a week at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. New episodes will premiere on the platform every day of the week but Wednesdays during the Season 7 run. Ariana Madix will return as the host of Love Island USA for Season 7. The former Vanderpump Rules star took over for Modern Family's Sarah Hyland on Season 6 of the series. Jeremiah Brown, Chelley Bissainthe, Yulissa Escobar, Ace Green, Austin Shepard, Belle-A Walker, Taylor Williams, Olandria Carthen, Nicolas Vansteenberghe and Huda Mustafa make up the Season 7 Love Island USA cast. Last season had 36 episodes over a six-week period, and this season will likely follow a similar format — though with Love Island, you never really know how long the show will last until we're approaching the end. Love Island USA is a spinoff of the smash hit U.K. reality show. The main difference — beyond hosts, contestants and the amount of prize money the winning couple is awarded — is which accents you'd like to hear as contestants get their chat on around the bonfire.

Queens vs. schemes: Inside unscripted's Emmy battle royale
In 2024, the races for Best Competition Program and Best Reality Host were completely upended by a Scottish castle full of reality legends. Now for the juicy rematch: Will Peacock's The Traitors and host Alan Cumming scheme their way to the top again, or will RuPaul's Drag Race and host RuPaul Charles make a fierce Ru-turn to the stage? Drag Race is a five-time champion for series (2018-21, '23), while RuPaul has won the host category a record eight times (2016-23). For its recent 17th cycle, dubbed the "splashiest season in herstory," judges RuPaul, Michelle Visage, and cohorts searched for America's next drag superstar. A special twist allowed two lucky queens to stay in the competition, but only if they successfully threw a ball that dropped Visage into a dunk tank. More from GoldDerby Jay Duplass on exposing his 'dad bod' and playing a 'soft villain' in 'Dying for Sex': 'Easily one of my biggest acting challenges' 5 slots isn't enough: More limited series deserve a chance to compete with 'Adolescence' Laugh tracks: The state of the 2025 Emmy comedy race Onya Nurve won the season and the cash prize of $200,000, while Jewels Sparkles placed second. Both queens had America cheering all season long, especially in the Wicked-themed 'Rusical,' which required the contestants to sing, dance, and act on a moment's notice. "The drag gods watch over us," producer Tom Campbell tells Gold Derby about how it all came together so quickly. "It is a tireless, relentless pace ... we love the adrenaline." The Traitors aired its third season this year and went viral each week with its backstabbing and machinations. "It was absolutely the messiest group of Traitors we've had," executive producer Sam Rees-Jones tells us without hesitation, referring to Rob Mariano, Danielle Reyes, Carolyn Wiger, and Bob the Drag Queen, who turned on each other instead of the other competitors. "It was chaos in the turret, it really was." The competition was won by a record number of Faithfuls — Dylan Efron, Dolores Catania, Ivar Mountbatten, and Gabby Windey — who all trusted each other to the bitter end. Last year's Emmy-winning second cycle also saw a pair of Faithfuls claiming victory, which begs the question: Do Emmy voters prefer when good triumphs over evil? (In Season 1, a Traitor won the game and the show was snubbed in the top series race.) While RuPaul's Drag Race and The Traitors are out front, never count out The Amazing Race, which has a whopping 10 series Emmy wins to date. CBS' globe-trotter recently wrapped up Season 37 with professional gamers Carson McCalley and Jack Dodge claiming the $1 million prize, telling us, "It's like your life flashes before your eyes!" But, of course, what would a reality show be without a villain? Married parents Jonathan and Ana Towns, who placed third, struck a nerve with viewers for arguing repeatedly on camera. "You're going to see us fight,' they declared at the finish line, 'and that's just normal." This year, the big change for American Idol was the addition of Carrie Underwood, who went from Season 4 winner to Season 23 judge, sitting in between Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie. "Carrie has followed the show since she was on it 20 years ago," says showrunner Megan Wolflick. "When the seat became available, what better Cinderella story is there than Carrie Underwood?" The season culminated in Jamal Roberts becoming the first Black man to win in 22 years, proclaiming to us: "I'm anointed!" Emmy voters who love an international flare might prefer to cozy up to Top Chef, which filmed Season 22 in Canada. The show experienced a culinary shake-up last year with the addition of new host Kristen Kish, the fan-favorite winner of Season 10. "The show itself is a completely well-oiled machine — they have everything taken care of," she confesses. "For me, if you compare it to the first and second years on the job, it feels more familiar and comfortable ... the joints are looser." Survivor recently concluded its 48th season on CBS and had fans screaming "Emmy!" for the scene in which Joe Hunter helped the autistic Eva Erickson through a high-pressure challenge. That was an example of going "inside the emotion," Jeff Probst says of the moment that caused him to break down in tears for the first time ever. While Probst has taken home four Emmys as host (2008-11), the show itself has yet to win the top Best Competition Program category, which was launched in 2003.

Paramount+ already has Rocky Balboa; now they're adding Nick Fury. Samuel L. Jackson has signed on to star in NOLA King, a new spinoff of the streamer's Sylvester Stallone-led series Tulsa King, according to our sister site Deadline.
