Peacock 'Love'
The streaming service Peacock announced a May 9 premiere date for its new dating show, “Love Undercover.” The series follows five international soccer players as they leave behind their lavish lives overseas to date a variety of single American women who don’t know of the men's fame abroad.
Additionally, the streamer says the next installment of its dating show “Love Island USA,” which it announced in November, had been renewed for seasons 6 and 7, will premiere this summer. The show features pairs of coupled singles all staying together in a beautiful villa and being tempted to stray by hot newcomers. Charming as ever.
Also premiering this summer: season 2 of “Queens Court,” in which three Black female celebrities in entertainment or business seek romance with a suitable “king” among 22 successful men. Married couple Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete return as hosts.
Finale
The 10 finalists performed last week on the new NBC spinoff “America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League,” which differs from regular “AGT” in that the judges also mentor members of their respective “dream teams,” a la “The Voice.” The inaugural season concludes Monday from 8 to 10 p.m.

Season 2 of “The Family Stallone” premieres on the streaming service Paramount+ early Wednesday, with the first two episodes additionally airing at 9:30 and 10 p.m. on corporate stablemate MTV. Filmmaker-actor Sylvester Stallone and his wife move from Los Angeles to Palm Beach, Florida, with two daughters relocating to New York City and one to Miami … Thursday from 9 to 10:05 p.m., it’s never an off season for the Hamptons as Bravo’s ”Summer House” returns for an eighth trip to Long Island’s South Fork. An equal number of cast members return, joined by newcomers Jesse Solomon and West Wilson … and Sunday night at 10 on the Paramount Network, belly up to the “Bar Rescue” season 9.
