If we were to power-rank seasons of Love Island USA, then season six would be the undisputed winner. American Love Island aired its first season on CBS in 2019, but even when it moved to Peacock in 2022 for season four, it failed to capture an audience. This year, however, even Love Island U.K. purists turned their heads for the Peacock bombshell, helping the show double its ratings and launching its contestants to an immediate and unprecedented level of fame.
