Casa Amor will put 'Love Island USA' couples to the test. How to watch
Bring on a new batch of sexy singles!
"Love Island USA" Season 8 has reached the midway point, which means Casa Amor is among us. At this point in the journey, some couples' relationships are getting stronger while others are still looking to find a solid connection.
Will the new bombshells check all of the boxes and cause the islanders to explore? Or will the islanders be loyal to their original couple?
Here's what we know about Casa Amor and how to tune in to one of the season's biggest twists.
When does 'Love Island USA' Casa Amor episode premiere?
The highly anticipated "Love Island USA" Casa Amor episode premiered on Sunday, June 21, on Peacock.
The streaming service also announced that a special screening of the two-hour episode will debut in 28 select theaters in major cities nationwide on June 22.
Fans will be able to "see the jaw-dropping moments from Casa Amor and witness the bombshell twists, tests, and unforgettable recouplings in real time," Peacock said.
What is Casa Amor in the 'Love Island' Universe?
Just as the islanders start getting comfortable each season, the show's producers turn up the heat by doubling the number of eligible cast members.
The powers-that-be often separate the men and women via some covert method, and it's soon revealed that they'll live in separate villas for several days as they get to know a completely new group of men and women. This is when, as the islanders like to say, relationships are tested.
What happened during the first night of this year's Casa Amor?
The islanders got a text saying they would be participating in the staple "Hearts On Fire" challenge, where they put on costumes and give a spicy performance.
However, while the girls were getting ready, the boys snuck out to Casa Amor, where six bombshells (Amora, Parmida, Jaiden, Alannah, Tierra, Sydney) were ready to give them a show.
In a twist, the girls at the original villa's fire pit were speechless when it was revealed that the challenge wasn't happening, and they had to watch their connections interact during the steamy dance numbers with the other girls, leaving emotions high.
In the teaser for Episode 18, it appears that the girls will be able to explore 12 new male bombshells who enter the original villa.
'Love Island USA' Season 8 Casa Amor schedule
Viewers will be able to watch the Casa Amor drama all week long, with new episodes dropping on Peacock daily at 9 p.m. ET, except on Wednesday.
"Love Island USA: Aftersun," the dating series' talk show, is slated for Saturdays.
