Love Island USA posted an Instagram statement on Wednesday urging fans to keep online reactions "kind" and "positive" ahead of the Season 8 cast reveal and June 2 premiere.
The message appears aimed at curbing cyberbullying after recent seasons, when former contestants said online hate followed their time on the show.
Season 8's cast has not been announced yet, though the show typically unveils islanders on social media just days before launch; Season 7's lineup dropped May 29 before a June 3 premiere.
Peacock will begin streaming the Fiji-set dating series at 9 p.m. ET on June 2, with new episodes airing daily except Wednesdays and the companion show Aftersun on Saturdays.
