‘Love Island USA’ Season 7 Premiere Suffers Delay On Peacock & Viewers Share Their Outrage

Love Island USA viewers didn’t get a warm welcome to the Season 7 villa on premiere night.

Peacock had been touting the new season’s premiere at 9 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. ET, but the episode was not made available then.

A minute after the episode was supposed to start streaming, Peacock posted a message on social media announcing a slight delay.

“WE GOT A TEXT! Tonight’s episode will be slightly delayed. But it is worth the wait. Stay tuned!” read the Peacock post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

Deadline reached out to Peacock for comment and will update when we hear back.

Users in Canada reported that the Love Island USA Season 7 premiere episode was available on the CTV streamer, which indicates it was a technical issue on Peacock’s side.

The memes started flooding in when Love Island USA didn’t premiere, with many quoting Season 6’s Kaylor and her iconic “Fawk Aaron” moment.
