Fiji is calling. Are you ready to answer?

Peacock’s Love Island USA has become a golden nugget for the streamer — the nationwide watch parties, sky-high streaming numbers and social media presence speak for themselves.

“Watching the videos of people jumping out of their chairs, screaming [and] cheering was so cool,” host Ariana Madix tells The Hollywood Reporter of all the fan support last year. “It was so validating because that’s also how I felt when I saw it. So it felt as though we were connecting from the other side of the world in our excitement for all of the things going on.”

But keeping that momentum with fans going is another challenge (and we’re not talking about those messy Islander challenges, iykyk). But it’s something the team behind the reality dating show embraces.
