The reality television series Summer House is set for a significant transformation as it gears up for its tenth season. Following a series of unexpected cast departures, fans are eager to learn who will be returning to the iconic Hamptons house. The show, which debuted in 2017, chronicles the lives of friends who spend their summer weekends together, and has seen numerous cast changes over the years.
Paige DeSorbo, a prominent figure on the show, confirmed in June that she would not return for the upcoming season after seven years. She shared her decision via Instagram Stories, stating, “Being a part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life.” Paige expressed gratitude for the friendships and experiences gained, but felt it was time to close this chapter.
Following her announcement, fellow cast members Imrul Hassan and Lexi Wood also declared they would not be back for season ten. Their decisions were part of a wave of changes that caught viewers off-guard. Additionally, there were false reports of cast departures that the production team had to clarify before confirming the official lineup.
In December, Bravo provided fans with a sneak peek of the upcoming season, set to premiere in February 2026. The network introduced several new cast members: Mia Calabrese, KJ Dillard, Dara Levitan, Levi Sebree, Bailey Taylor, and Ben Waddell.
Returning Cast Members and Their Insights
Among the returning cast members is Kyle Cooke, who emphasized the importance of evolving storylines in the series. He stated, “We’re all at different stages in our lives,” hinting at the dynamic changes in relationships and personal growth that fans can expect. Along with his wife, Amanda Batula, Kyle is looking forward to the new season and the potential for fresh drama.
Amanda echoed Kyle’s sentiments, mentioning the possibility of the show evolving alongside the cast. “I would think, in my perfect world, one of two things would happen,” she explained. “It’s either Summer House evolves with us… or continues with the singles.” The teaser for season ten suggests that tensions may rise between Amanda and Kyle, adding a layer of intrigue for viewers.
Another returning star, Lindsay Hubbard, confirmed her participation via Instagram, declaring, “Of course I’m coming back this summer.” She noted that her experience as a new mother will bring a different perspective to the show.
Carl Radke also reassured fans of his return after addressing a fabricated announcement of his departure. “I look forward to spending the summer in the Hamptons with my friends,” he stated in a June interview, confirming that he remains a key part of the ensemble.
Departures and Future Prospects
Paige DeSorbo’s decision to leave was further elaborated upon in her podcast, where she expressed feelings of alignment with her choice after much contemplation. Her departure marks the end of an era for the show, which has been shaped by her presence.
Ciara Miller remains on board for season ten, and early teasers indicate she may rekindle a past connection, adding another layer of drama to the unfolding narrative. Conversely, Gabby Prescod was notably absent from the list of returning cast members released by Bravo, raising questions about her future with the series.
In April, Jesse Solomon expressed excitement for the upcoming summer, voicing a desire for the show to attract new, engaging personalities. He confirmed his return in December, highlighting the ongoing casting efforts aimed at finding fresh talent willing to share their authentic selves on camera.
The changes in cast dynamics reflect the show’s ability to adapt and evolve, a quality that has kept audiences engaged. As production for season ten gets underway, fans eagerly await the new adventures and relationships that will unfold in the Hamptons.
