Andrea Carmona, who stirred things up on Season 6 of Love Island USA after her bombshell debut, is returning to the franchise, as is Kay Kay Gray from Season 5.
Fans will also remember Lucinda Strafford from her time on Love Island UK Season 7 and Love Island Australia Season 5.
The remaining male contestants include Mert Okatan from Love Island Netherlands and Belgium Season 2 and 3, Tyrique Hyde from Love Island UK Season 10, Isaiah Campbell from Love Island USA Season 4, and Josh Goldstein from Love Island USA Season 3.
Josh's addition to the cast comes after he abruptly left his season before the finale, having received the news that his sister, Lindsey, had died.
The Sun exclusively reported in August 2021, shortly after the heartbreaking moment aired, that Josh and his family were "in such devastation" over the sudden loss, according to a longtime friend of Lindsey's.
