Kenzie Annis, a breakout contestant from Season 8 of "Love Island USA," has signed with talent agency Gersh for representation across all areas. The move reflects the huge popularity of the Peacock dating show this season, which topped streaming reality rankings for five consecutive weeks and drew a significant new audience to the franchise, making its cast members hot commercial properties for agencies and brands.

Annis, who trained as a nurse and gained more than 2.5 million social media followers during her time in the villa, is set to expand into film, television, fashion, beauty and brand partnerships. She joins fellow Season 8 star Aniya Harvey, who also recently signed with Gersh, alongside existing agency clients such as host Ariana Madix, Season 6's JaNa Craig and Season 7 winner Amaya Espinal. Annis will next appear at the show's reunion special, streaming on Peacock on 31 August.
