Here’s the official series description:
Set in Fiji, Peacock’s Love Island Games brings together fan-favorite Islanders from various Love Island series across the globe – USA, UK and beyond – for a second shot at love. They will compete in a brand-new format to be crowned champions of Love Island Games. In this cheeky iteration, romance will meet reality as the Islanders are faced with both team and couples’ challenges, all while navigating dating, eliminations, recoupling, dramatic arrivals, and new competition twists and turns that help control the game like never before. Ariana Madix will host the new Original series alongside UK comedian Iain Stirling, who reprises his role as narrator.

The cast includes: Andrea Carmona (Season 6, USA), Andreina Santos (Season 7, USA), Charlie Georgiou (Season 7, USA), Christopher Seeley (Season 7, USA), Garbi Denteh (Season 4, BE/NL), Isaiah Campbell (Season 4, USA), Josh Goldstein (Season 3, USA), Kay Kay Gray (Season 5, USA), Kendall Washington (Season 6, USA), Lucinda Strafford (Season 7, UK & Season 5, AUS), Mert Okatan (Season 2 and Season 3, BE/NL), Nicola Gauci Borda-Warr (Season 1, MT), Solène Favreau (Season 2, FR), and Tyrique Hyde (Season 10, UK).
