Aniya Harvey has signed with The Gersh Agency for representation in all areas, with the agency’s Digital department leading her career.
Harvey placed as runner-up on Season 8 of Love Island USA, where she became one of the season’s breakout stars for her authenticity and confidence in the Fiji villa. Since the show aired, she has built an audience of more than 3.8 million followers across Instagram and TikTok.
She is a graduate of Florida Atlantic University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing in 2024. During her time there, she played collegiate volleyball and worked in marketing for the school’s athletics department.
With Gersh now behind her, Harvey is set to expand across television, fashion, beauty, lifestyle, brand partnerships, and entrepreneurial ventures.
She joins a fast-growing Love Island USA bench at Gersh, which already represents Emmy-nominated host Ariana Madix, Season 6 Islander JaNa Craig, and Season 7 winner Amaya Espinal.
The signing also comes just ahead of castmate Kenzie Annis, one of Season 8’s original Islanders, who signed with Gersh for representation across film, TV, fashion, and live entertainment.
The moves fit into a busy 2026 for Gersh overall. Its Film/TV team has been especially active, landing Fear the Walking Dead star Alycia Debnam-Carey for U.S. theatrical representation and signing Disclosure Day breakout Courtney Grace, whose one-scene performance in Steven Spielberg‘s UAP-themed thriller drew widespread praise.
Love Island USA had a strong year for Peacock, ranking as the top streaming reality series for five straight weeks, with over 30% of Season 8’s audience new to the franchise. Harvey’s season also topped 4 billion video views across social platforms.
Takeaways
Gersh isn’t just picking up individual Love Island alumni; it’s building a full pipeline straight out of the villa. Signing Harvey right around castmate Kenzie Annis suggests the agency wants a foothold before other shops even pitch.
Harvey arrives with zero prior industry representation, giving Gersh a blank canvas to shape her path across TV, beauty, and brand deals however performs best.
Will Harvey land scripted or hosting roles, or stay focused on brand partnerships and digital content? Does Gersh’s growing Love Island USA roster give it leverage to package multiple Islanders together for campaigns?
