Chelley & Olandria Confront Huda In Intense Love Island Reunion Trailer
It's about to go down.
The Love Island USA Season 7 winners may have been crowned, but we’re not done with this chaotic cast just yet. During the finale, host Ariana Madix announced that a reunion special would officially happen in New York City — but it wasn’t filmed immediately. The couples (and non-couples) had several weeks to adjust to the real world before reuniting to reveal who’s still together, who’s called it quits, and how sudden fame has affected everyone before meeting back up to film on Aug. 12.
In the Season 7 finale, which aired on July 13, Madix announced Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales as the winners, each receiving $50,0000. The big win wasn’t a huge surprise, since Amaya had become a massive fan-favorite over the course of the season, but it was up in the air if her popularity could overcome the online fervor for second-place couple Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenberghe (who trended throughout the show as Nicolandria). The other (less shocking) twist was Huda Mustafa’s breakup with Chris Seeley during their final date. While fans could see the split coming from their notable tension in the last several episodes, a breakup in the finale is rare territory for Love Island.
Obviously, the cast has a lot of stuff to unpack now that they’re all out of the villa and unfollowing each other on Instagram. Here’s when you can tune into the reunion to see it all go down.
The Date & Time Of Season 7’s Reunion
To make sure the reunion would be extra-juicy, it wasn’t filmed until after the cast had time outside of Fiji to really digest the whole show and how fans have responded. The reunion will stream on Peacock on Aug. 25 at 9 p.m. ET.
An Extra Host Is Being Added Who Knows All About Dramatic Reunions
Madix won’t be alone in trying to make sense of all the drama this season. For the first time, Season 7’s reunion will have two hosts, with Andy Cohen joining Madix to tag-team the special.
Fans Will Watch Never-Before-Seen Footage
During an Aug. 13 episode of Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen teased what’s to come in the Love Island USA reunion. He dropped some bombshells during episode, which featured Olandria, Nic, Amaya, and Bryan.
According to Cohen, Olandra, Chelley, and Huda had a “pretty dramatic” reunion at the taping. Plus, he confirmed that fans will be getting exactly what they want: unseen footage. “We showed the extended version of the heart rate challenge, which was revelatory, I think, to the group,” Cohen said.
It seems like everyone agreed with him. “Yep,” Olandria responded to Cohen’s assessment, while the rest of the cast members nodded.
The Trailer Is Filled With Drama
A few days before the reunion’s airdate, Peacock released a trailer that teased the drama that’s about to go down. Highlights include Ace and Jeremiah having a heated exchange over Jeremiah’s elimination, Chris says he “doesn’t respect” how Huda has spoken about him since the show, and most dramatic of all, Chelley and Olandria confronting Huda over their mysterious post-show drama.
The trailer also brings up a rumor that Bryan cheated on Amaya, showing him referring to the unnamed event as a “lapse in judgement.”
