'Summer House' Season 11: Everything We Know

The Bravo hit will pick the cameras back up after "Scamanda"—but it will look totally different.

Just like Scandoval in 2023, Bravo was at the center of online discourse when this year’s Summer House scandal catapulted the reality series to must-watch television. When cast members West Wilson and Amanda Batula confirmed their new romance via matching Instagram stories in March 2026, they became the internet’s newest villains. The reason? Girl code. Amanda separated from her husband, fellow castmate Kyle Cooke, and promptly took up with West, who was previously involved with Amanda’s best friend Ciara Miller as recently as last summer.

Much of Summer House season 10’s tension stems from Ciara’s simmering feelings and her eventual reconciliation with West, complete with a drunken kiss in the season finale. The season’s other big storyline centers on Amanda and Kyle’s crumbling marriage, for which Ciara often provided Amanda a shoulder to lean on. Naturally, fans were distraught to find that Amanda had violated the No. 1 rule in girlhood: Don’t date your friend’s ex. So, where does that leave the Bravo show for future seasons? Here’s everything we know so far about the already greenlit Summer House season 11.

Is 'Summer House' renewed for season 11?

Despite (and maybe because of) all of the drama that went down in season 10, Bravo has officially invited everyone back to the Hamptons for another crazy summer. Season 11 was confirmed in early May 2026 at the NBC Upfronts presentation, with season 10 garnering as the series' best ratings.

When will 'Summer House' season 11 come out?

Summer House follows a pretty tight schedule: It films over the titular summer, usually from around July 4th through Labor Day, with episodes turned around for an early Q1 release. During a June 2026 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, VP of Current Production for Bravo Josh Brown confirmed that the network was in the process of firming up the cast, with plans to have the ensemble set by late June and to pick up the cameras in July. That said, should everything go to the show's typical schedule, we'll get more Summer House in early 2027.

Who in the 'Summer House' cast will return for season 11?

This is the biggest lingering question, especially now that Amanda and Kyle are no longer together and Ciara and Amanda’s friendship won’t withstand Amanda’s betrayal. And with Kyle, Amanda, and Lindsay Hubbard starring on the Summer House spinoff In The City, it would be easy for them to trade the Hamptons-based series for the one in the Big Apple.

Finally, as production began in early July 2026, Bravo confirmed to Deadline who exactly will be back. The network revealed that Ciara Miller, Kyle Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, Jesse Solomon, Bailey Taylor, KJ Dillard, Mia Calabrese, and Carl Radke will make up the season 11 cast.

Before the full cast list was announced, Ciara herself dropped the bombshell that she would be back on the finale of the Love Island USA season 8 after-show, Aftersun, which she co-hosted from June through early July. "I have Summer House to shoot—season 11. I gotta get back to the Hamptons," she said while shooting the episode remotely, rather than in its Fiji studio.

In fact, Deadline reported that, while filming usually begins around July 4th, this year it was pushed back by a week to accommodate Ciara's Aftersun commitments. Fans long suspected she would be back, given both her rise in star power and her next gig on Dancing With the Stars not starting until the fall (not to mention a May TMZ report claiming she was set to return after shooting Aftersun).

As for the other side of the drama, Bravo didn't confirm Amanda and West were exiting the series until filming began—but earlier reports speculated as much. Variety reported in late June that Amanda would not return, while TMZ reported in mid-June that sources claim her paramour also wouldn't be back.

When Variety unveiled that Amanda had moved on from the show, the outlet pointed to an interview with Bravo executive Noah Samton, who spoke about how the network viewed the then-ongoing casting. He said, "If you have two Housewives who hate each other and can’t get along, they can shoot a scene, and at the end of the day go home to their own house. On Summer House, they actually live together. So if people have a real issue with each other, you can’t live together in a house. And we wouldn’t do that to the cast."

So, based on those comments, it seems Amanda and West were never in the season 11 conversation, especially if Bravo was pushing for Ciara's return. Although the word is still out on whether In the City will be renewed and she'll return to the screen on that show.

In addition to the major shakeups, it's also been revealed that Ben Waddell, Dara Levitan, and Levi Sebree have exited the show.

Where will 'Summer House' season 11 be set?

While it seems likely that some familiar and fresh faces will make up the ensemble, Summer House season 11 may be in for an overhaul in a different way. The Sag Harbor house that's been the home base for the series since season 6 (and a character in its own right) has notably been put up for sale. That, coupled with a report by US Weekly that producers are looking for a new location, seems to indicate we'll be spending our summer somewhere new.

What will 'Summer House' season 11 be about?

The season’s storylines and drama will rest entirely upon which cast members return, so we’ll have to stay tuned for the casting announcements later this year. With Ciara coming back, she may be in her healing era and very well trying to move on from the recent drama. If Carl returns, we’ll surely see more dispatches from his non-alcoholic bar, Soft Bar, and potentially more of his relationship with newcomer Bailey. Both KJ and Ben found love in season 10, so if they return for an eleventh season, hopefully we’ll see more of their budding relationships.
