The dramatic first teaser footage shows the stars return home "after a life-altering summer in Fiji and navigate their newfound fame," as a logline puts it.
"Surrounded by familiar faces and past connections, these Islanders test their romantic relationships in the real world, resolve unfinished business with their exes and discover that life outside of the villa comes with its own set of challenges," teases the logline.
Another surprise familiar face pops up at the end of the teaser: Nic Vansteenberghe, the season 7 runner-up who is dating girlfriend Olandria Carthen.
According to Peacock, last year's six-week run of Love Island USA — an American adaptation of the popular British reality series — amassed more than 18.4 billion minutes streamed for the platform.
