The cast for the eighth season of Love Island USA has been unveiled, featuring a Paralympic athlete and a British-born contestant whose brother previously appeared on the show. The series, hosted by Ariana Madix, returns to Peacock on June 2.
Among the new islanders is Beatriz Hatz, a Paralympic athlete from San Diego who won bronze in the Women's Long Jump at the 2024 Paris Paralympics. Born without a fibula in her right leg, she had the limb amputated below the knee at ten months old.
Zach Georgiou, from Birmingham, England, enters the villa following in the footsteps of his brother Charlie, who was dumped from Love Island USA last year on day 11. Zach says he aims to 'do better' than his sibling.
Other contestants include Aniya Harvey, daughter of retired NBA player Donnell Harvey; Gabriel Vasconcelos, who brings 'Brazilian fire' from Miami; and KC Chandler, a nursing assistant from Fresno, California. The full cast also features a police officer, a handyman, and a track-and-field athlete.
Vasana Montgomery was originally part of the cast but has been removed and will no longer appear on the show.
