Ariana Madix isn’t straying far from the villa. Fresh off her hosting duties for Love Island USA Season 6, the reality star has officially been named the host of Love Island Games Season 2, set to debut on Peacock Tuesday, 16th September. She’ll be joined once again by fan-favorite narrator Iain Stirling, who returns to lend his signature cheeky commentary to the global spin-off.
Set against the tropical backdrop of Fiji, Love Island Games takes familiar Islanders from the USA, UK, Australia, and beyond and throws them back into a pressure-cooker of romantic chaos and competitive challenges. In this wild remix of the original format, returning stars will navigate recouplings, surprise arrivals, eliminations, and plenty of new twists designed to shake up the game and test both love and strategy.
Madix’s return to the Love Island universe comes with a twist of its own. While fans know her as the host of Season 6 of Love Island USA, longtime viewers may remember her earlier appearance on the first season of Love Island Games, where she helmed several challenges. Now, she’s taking center stage. “Although Love Island USA Season 7 is over, Ariana Madix won’t be leaving the villa too long,” says the show’s announcement, “as she has been tapped to host the second season of Love Island Games.”
She replaces Maya Jama, who hosted the debut season of Games in 2023. That season concluded with Justine Ndiba (USA Season 2) and Jack Fowler (UK Season 4) taking home the win. The cast also featured memorable Islanders like Cely Vazquez, Eyal Booker, Aurelia Lamprecht, Johnny Middlebrooks, and Callum Hole—each representing their respective seasons from across the globe.
Produced by ITV America in partnership with Motion Entertainment (a WPP Media company) and distributed by ITV Studios, Love Island Games boasts an extensive executive producer lineup including David George, Adam Sher, Ben Thursby-Palmer, Andy Cadman, James Barker, Blake Garrett, Courtney Rosenthal, Jordana Hochman, Bernie Schaeffer, Richard Foster, Chet Fenster, Richard Cowles, Tom Gould, and Mike Spencer. As Love Island Games heads back to Fiji, fans can expect sun-soaked drama, playful betrayals, and heart-flipping romance—with Ariana Madix now calling the shots.
