Your Guide to Netflix's 'Temptation Island' Cast, From the Couples to the Tempters

Netflix's reality TV universe is growing, with its revival of the international franchise Temptation Island. Classic TV fans may remember that Temptation Island began in the U.S. in 2001, with previous seasons airing on Fox and USA Network. (Not to mention the numerous iterations airing abroad.) For the ninth season, which premiered on Netflix on March 12, 2025, longtime host Mark L. Walberg (no, not that one) returns to lead four unmarried couples through the ultimate test of temptation.

Over several weeks, each of these couples on the brink of separation split up into villas, populated by a dozen ultra-hot members of the opposite sex. During their time temporarily apart, each couple has to decide whether they'll come back together stronger than ever, or break up for good. The only knowledge they'll get of each other's activities will come from emotional bonfires, where the cast members see clips of what their significant others have been up to with the singles.

Netflix fans will find this series' drama (and low-key psychological torture) similar to that of The Ultimatum, though the welcome addition of Walberg offers a sympathetic ear and advice. Is Temptation Island the streaming giant's next reality TV guilty pleasure? Will any of these couples reach "Montoya, por favor" levels of social media infamy? Below, read on to meet the vulnerable couples and sexy tempters populating Netflix's Temptation Island cast.

The Couples

Ashley and Grant

Accountant Ashley, 28, and business owner and dad Grant, 28, have been on-again-off-again for a year and a half before coming on Temptation Island. After Grant cheated a month into their relationship, Ashley built up major trust issues that she's trying to overcome. As the series starts, Grant is determined to prove that he can now resist temptation, but his biggest fear is that Ashley will "speak of him poorly while on the island."

Alexa and Lino

Labor and delivery travel nurse Alexa, 28, and personal trainer Lino, 28, have been inseparable since their mutual gym crush turned into a relationship over three years ago. Though Alexa's ready to get engaged, Lino has reservations, including how Alexa is his first-ever serious relationship and he has uprooted his life several times for her. After a "rocky" start to their relationship, where Alexa dated other people when Lino thought they were exclusive, he also has to believe he isn't "second choice."

Shanté and Brion

Pilates instructor Shanté, 29, and medical salesman Brion, 26, had instant chemistry when they met at church a year ago. However self-described "flirt" Brion briefly dumped Shanté for another woman, before "realizing the grass isn't greener on the other side." Shanté wants to see if the sexually adventurous Brion will take their relationship seriously in the face of temptation.

Tayler and Tyler

Personal trainer Tayler, 30, and model Tyler, 27, began dating four months after Tyler separated from his now ex-wife. Over two years later, Tayler is looking for economic and emotional security from her boyfriend, who has "fallen into temptation" in the past. Meanwhile, Tyler plans to "work on understanding [himself] better," having been in committed relationships back-to-back since he was 18.
