Love Island USA Season 7 Delay Sparks Outrage Among Peacock Viewers!

Fans of Love Island USA faced an unexpected hiccup during the Season 7 premiere night.

Although Peacock had advertised the new season’s debut for 9 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. PT, viewers were left waiting as the episode did not air as scheduled.

Just a minute past the anticipated start time, Peacock broke the news of a delay via a social media post.

“WE GOT A TEXT! Tonight’s episode will be slightly delayed. But it is worth the wait. Stay tuned!” was the message posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, by Peacock.

Deadline has reached out to Peacock for further details and is awaiting a response.

Interestingly, Canadian viewers reported that the Love Island USA Season 7 premiere was accessible on the CTV streaming service, pointing to a possible technical glitch on Peacock’s end.

It was not until around 6:40 p.m. PT that the eagerly awaited Season 7 premiere was finally available on Peacock, featuring Ariana Madix’s stunning first entrance into the villa.

Following the delay, Peacock updated its viewers on X with a post saying, “Thank you for your patience! The Love Island USA episode is officially live now. Enjoy the premiere.”

As soon as it was clear that Love Island USA was delayed, the internet quickly filled with humorous memes, many referencing Kaylor from Season 6 and her famous “Fawk Aaron” line.
