Love Island USA 2023: Meet the 10 islanders that are starting the journey for love in the villa

Prepare yourselves, because a hot new islander is about to enter the villa. Well, 10 islanders, to be exact. The fifth season of the immensely popular reality series Love Island USA returns to Peacock on July 18. The islanders will be infiltrating a gorgeous villa in Fiji to spend around two months attempting to find love.

Episodes air six days a week, and faces will come and go as they get “dumped” from the island. Participants will compete in challenges and more, and fans at home will have a chance to vote and influence the outcome.
