NEED TO KNOW
The wait is finally over: Love Island USA is back!
Season 7 of the hit Peacock series premieres tonight, June 3, and PEOPLE can exclusively reveal the first look at the Islanders’ dramatic first night in the villa.
The season will kick off with 10 total Islanders, five guys and five girls. Peacock announced the cast on May 29: Huda Mustafa, Olandria Carthen, Belle-A Walker, Yulissa Escobar and Chelley Bissainthe will be the first five girls in the Fiji villa, and are joined by Nicolas Vansteenberghe, Taylor Williams, Austin Shepard, Ace Green and Jeremiah Brown.
In the first look teaser, the ladies are the first to arrive at the villa, and they pop a bottle of bubbly right away to get the good vibes going. Host Ariana Madix is next to arrive, and she asks if the girls are “ready to find your man,” but Belle-A makes it clear she wants to “have a little fun too.”
Nicolas and Ace are the first boys to arrive, followed by cowboy Taylor, and then pool boy Austin and Jeremiah. “This can’t be real life,” Chelley says as the girls’ excitement kicks in.

Of course, there’s a twist right off the bat. “This year, things are going to be a little bit different,” Ariana teases. “Time to let your lips do the talking.”
Before coupling up, the Islanders get the chance to lock lips with any of the boys they’ve got their eye on, and some feelings are starting to form already.
“I am not trying to be delusional,” Olandria says. “But I am liking what I’m seeing so far.”
The kissing doesn’t stop with night one, though. The following day, after five initial couples have been formed, Ariana returns to give the group a “chance to make a play for the person you maybe have a thing for, but haven’t kissed yet.”
As one islander puts it, there’s some “freak ass s— going on” already in the Fiji villa.

In the cast announcement released last week, all 10 Islanders shared more about themselves. Jeremiah described himself as an “emotional type of guy,” as he admitted, “I really don’t care if I cry in front of you.”
Ace called himself a “short king” who has “no problem talking to taller ladies,” but will draw the line at being “little spoon.”
Pool boy Austin touted how “damn good” he looks “while cleaning a pool,” and then came cowboy Taylor, who said he’s looking for a “city girl” with a “big booty.”
Finally, daredevil Nicolas said he’s “I’m down for anything” and “huge into extreme sports.”

As for the girls, Chelley admitted that she is going to judge her fellow Islanders based on their Zodiac signs, and Olandria said that “college football” is her “life.”
Belle-A was excited to share that she loves working in her family’s coffee shop, and Huda declared herself ready to find her “lifelong partner.”
The final girl, Yulissa, revealed that she just got out of a “nine-year relationship,” but she was “glad he broke my heart, because look at me here.”
