Olandria Carthen posted an eight-second reel to her 2.3 million Instagram followers yesterday, March 3, and the brief clip has sent her fans into a frenzy. Carthen, clothed in a two-toned robe and sitting in a makeup chair, said a quick note in the post, regarding an upcoming project that seemingly nodded to her summer 2025 stint on Love Island USA Season 7.
Carthen’s social media sneak peak
“Hi, guys. So I’m going back into the confessional, but this time it’s gonna be a little bit different,” Carthen declared. The reel began with the 27-year-old getting glammed up, before sharing the message directed with her millions of followers. However, she kept the details of the endeavor to a minimum, finishing the note, “Stay tuned.”
The Alabama native didn’t give anything away in the post’s caption, either. In fact, she seemed to encourage her audience to make their own predictions, posing the query, “Who wants to guess what’s next? 💛”
Fans pen their predictions in Carthen’s comment section
Carthen’s fans flooded her feed to share their speculations, with some guessing that she is heading back to TV screens once again.
“She going on a show???? A game show? A movie??? 😮,” one fan guessed.
“omg a reality tv showwwww after love island?” Another asked.
“Host of all stars!??! Hosting something!?!?” A commenter chimed in.

Others exclaimed that whatever the mystery endeavor entails, they’ll be diligently keeping an eye on Carthen’s page as more information on the project emerges in the future.
“NOTIFICATIONS TURNED ALL THE WAY ON,” one user declared
“Yes yes yes!!! What night at what time, we’re tuning in!” Another emphatically added.
And when it comes to Carthen’s rise to stardom following her runner-up spot on the longtime television program, she has previously delved into its fast-paced tradition. For context, the first episode of Love Island USA Season 7 premiered less than one year ago in June 2025.
“Honestly, I knew life after the show would come with attention, but nothing really prepares you for how intense and constant it is. From the minute you step out of that villa, you’re under a microscope: every expression, every moment,” she explained in a September interview with Ebony. “What helped me stay grounded was remembering who I was before the cameras. My faith and the support of my family and friends have helped keep me centered.”
