EXCLUSIVE: Love Island USA‘s Kenny Rodriguez is the latest celebrity confirmed to star in Telemundo‘s La Casa de los Famosos Season 6.
Rodriguez starred in Season 6 of the Peacock dating series and was one of the breakout stars that year, making it to the final and finishing in third place, coupled with Jana Craig. Following the success of Love Island USA, Rodriguez was also part of the inaugural season of the streamer’s spinoff series Love Island: Beyond the Villa.
For his next stint on reality TV, the New York City-born Rodriguez, who has Dominican roots, will keep it in the NBCUniversal family and trade the villa for a house full of Latino celebrities for La Casa de los Famosos. Rodriguez will join other celebrities announced for Season 6, which includes Laura Zapata, Lupita Jones, Yina Calderón, Kunno, Jailyne Ojeda, and Caeli. More stars will be announced in the coming days, with the full cast reveal on premiere night.
La Casa de los Famosos is produced by EndemolShine Boomdog, part of Banijay Americas company. The format is based on Celebrity Big Brother, in which a group of celebrities live under 24/7 surveillance and are completely cut off from the outside world as they compete for a cash prize. Who advances in the competition and the winner of the series are determined by votes from the viewing public.
Hosted by Jimena Gállego and Javier Poza, La Casa de los Famosos Season 6 premieres on Tuesday, February 17 at 7 p.m. ET on Telemundo and stream on Peacock.
