Ciara Miller and Tefi Pessoa entered the whirlwind that is the Love Island cinematic universe this summer when they signed on as co-hosts of its sister series Aftersun.

Pegged as Love Island USA’s companion show to unpack each week’s drama, Miller and Pessoa have what many past hosts of Aftersun don’t: Chemistry. Both women have gone viral in their own right, with their castings as co-hosts breathing life into the series, making it appointment television right alongside new episodes of Love Island USA.

What do Miller and Pessoa attribute to the newfound success of Aftersun? “Women on the mic,” the Summer House star tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I feel like, obviously, there’s an epidemic of men on podcasts, and this is our effort to uproot that.”

Pessoa adds, “I think that we are two people who have opinions, but we also aren’t vicious people, unless you give us a reason to be. Then I can get creative.”
