Love Island Games, a brand new All Stars spinoff, will arrive on Peacock on November 1.
The series is set to bring together Islanders from the UK, USA and Australia versions of the hit dating show for a second shot of love.
In this cheeky new iteration, romance will meet reality as Islanders are faced with both team and couples’ challenges, all while navigating dating, eliminations, recoupling and dramatic new arrivals.
On Friday, Maya Jama announced she will be fronting the brand new spin-off series.
In a video, shared via Instagram, the Love Island UK host said: “Hi everyone! I have some very, very exciting news.”
“I’m off to Fiji for the first ever Love Island Games! It is going to be amazing!”
“Your favourites from Love Island UK, USA and Australia, plus some more are gonna be over there. So who do you want to come back and snatch the crown? I’m off… I will see you on Peacock… Love Island Games!”

Although an official line-up has yet to be announced, a number of former Love Island contestants have been linked to the new series.
Take a look:
Luca Bish
Luca Bish shot to fame after appearing on Love Island in 2022.
The former fishmonger has been single since splitting from Gemma Owen shortly after the show.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted that he recently spent time in Los Angeles, and are convinced he may have been there to meet with ITV bosses in the US ahead of Love Island Games.
Lucinda Strafford
Love Island 2021 star Lucinda Strafford also recently spent time in Hollywood, sparking speculation she may be appearing on the spin-off series.
The 23-year-old is newly single after splitting from her on-off boyfriend, Irish footballer Aaron Connolly, for good earlier this year.
Joanna Chimonides
Joanna Chimonides appeared on the 2019 series of Love Island, where she famously coupled up with Michael Griffiths during Casa Amor.
The bombshell jetted off to Los Angeles just last week, shortly after her best friend Kady McDermott returned from Mallorca following her second stint on the dating show.
Could Joanna be following in Kady’s footsteps and appearing on Love Island again?
Love Island Games is separate to the All Stars series that’s in the works by Love Island UK producers.
According to MailOnline, bosses are considering replacing the winter series of Love Island with an All Stars series in 2024.
A source revealed: “The winter series of Love Island has been axed for a second time… viewers just aren’t interested in watching the show twice a year.”
“It will be replaced by a brand new All Stars series, which will feature former Islanders who are still looking for love.”
“In terms of iconic Love Island stars who are now happily married including the likes of Olivia Attwood, producers are looking into cameo appearances so that they still involve fan favourites from the years gone by.”
Just like the winter series, Love Island All Stars will be filmed in South Africa, and producers are already recruiting former Islanders who are currently single.
Megan Barton-Hanson and Georgia Steel, who appeared on the 2018 series, have already been linked to the line-up.
