Love Island USA host Ariana Madix reveals how Beyond the Villa and Vanderpump Rules are similar

With the current popularity of Love Island USA, it is no surprise that the production would love to capitalize on the opportunity and expand the franchise's horizons.

Recently, they announced a brand-new spinoff series called Beyond the Villa, which would star the Season 6 islanders. The host will be Ariana Madix again. However, she has shared how this brand new series compares to the one she starred in at the start of her career in reality TV, called Vanderpump Rules.

This Love Island USA spinoff will feature fan favorites from last year, including Leah Kateb, Serena Page, JaNa Craig, and Kaylor Martin. It will also feature Live Walker, Kenny Rodriguez, Miguel Harichi, and Kendall Washington. Connor Newsum and Aaron Evans will also return.

This will be yet another huge production because of the loyal fanbase that the cast had accumulated during their time in the villa, and it will be interesting to see how real life has been treating them since.

Beyond the Villa was announced last month by Peacock. To promote the same, star JaNa Serena featured in an Aftersun episode along with Ariana Madix, who is already in Fiji for the filming of Love Island USA season 7.

She got to know how the new show will work. Ariana was happy to be meeting the ex-islanders once again and discussing their lives. She revealed that the trio had dinner together on the island, where they caught up on the details of the new show.

They talked about what it was like to film a spinoff series, especially when someone has just started doing reality shows.

Ariana Madix compares Love Island USA's spinoff, Beyond the Villa, to Vanderpump Rules

Ariana appeared on national TV for the first time via Vanderpump Rules and said she could relate to JaNa and Serena. Talking to People about her experience, the host says she started filming in 2013. When she and the girls had dinner, Ariana revealed,

"There's a lot of similarities to filming [the spinoff] as, I feel like, there were to filming Vanderpump Rules, for example. So we were able to talk a lot about that. It was just so good to see them, and they're so much fun, and I'm so glad they came out and got to experience a little bit of [Love Island] on this side of filming."

What will Love Island USA spinoff Beyond the Villa be about?

Love Island USA spinoff Beyond the Villa will bring back the cast members as the camera crew will film and follow their lives in Los Angeles right now. It will feature how their year has been all this time, and if there is more to the drama that was left in the villa last year.

The cast will meet their exes and best friends, and viewers will get a chance to see if they are still on good terms or not.

The official synopsis of the show reads,

"Beyond the Villa follows everyone’s favorite Season 6 Islanders around Los Angeles as they navigate new careers, evolving friendships, newfound fame, and complex relationships outside of the Love Island villa."

Love Island USA Season 7 drops new episodes daily on Peacock at 9:00 pm Eastern Time, except on Wednesdays. They can be watched with a subscription.
