Summer House Returns With New Faces And Big Twists

The Hamptons are once again buzzing with excitement as Bravo’s hit reality series Summer House returns for its milestone tenth season, premiering Tuesday, February 3, 2026. Longtime fans and fresh viewers alike can expect a season packed with drama, new faces, and the shifting dynamics that have made the show a staple of reality TV. According to Bravo, the season kicks off with a live broadcast at 8/7c, though some listings place the premiere at 9 p.m. (the time zone shuffle is classic Hamptons chaos!).

This season marks a significant turning point for the show’s beloved cast. Notably, Paige DeSorbo, a fan favorite, is absent from the house for the first time, signaling a new era for the group. Lindsay Hubbard, one of the original stars, returns under very different circumstances—she’s now a mom, entering the summer with a fresh perspective and undoubtedly, new challenges. As reported by Bravo and other entertainment outlets, this blend of old and new is set to shake up the dynamic in ways viewers haven’t seen before.

Returning to the house are familiar faces Amanda Batula, Kyle Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, Ciara Miller, Carl Radke, Jesse Solomon, and West Wilson. But the real buzz surrounds the six newcomers: Mia Calabrese, KJ Dillard, Dara Levitan, Levi Sebree, Bailey Taylor, and Ben Waddell. The influx of new personalities promises fresh storylines, unexpected connections, and, of course, plenty of summer romance and rivalry. As Bravo teases, these new arrivals have already caught the eyes—and perhaps the hearts—of some housemates.

So, what can viewers expect from the drama this year? For starters, the show’s signature blend of friendship, flirtation, and conflict is set to reach new heights. The group’s annual tradition of house-sharing in the Hamptons never fails to deliver surprises, and with so many new cast members, the stakes are higher than ever. According to Bravo, "the drama factor is even more intense and over the top than last season," as the friends navigate shifting alliances, career ambitions, and personal milestones under one roof.

Kyle Cooke, who has been traveling extensively for his DJ career and the growing popularity of his beverage brand Loverboy, is particularly looking forward to reconnecting with his wife Amanda. However, Amanda might have her own ideas about how to spend the summer, hinting at potential tension—or at least a few awkward conversations—between the couple. Meanwhile, Ciara Miller’s laid-back demeanor is giving West Wilson hope for rekindling a friendship that may have fizzled in previous seasons. It’s the kind of interpersonal intrigue that keeps viewers glued to their screens week after week.

For those eager to catch every moment of the action, there are more ways than ever to tune in. Cord cutters have a suite of streaming options to choose from, each offering unique perks and pricing. Fubo, a platform known for its sports content but boasting over 100 live TV channels, lets new subscribers try the service free and is currently offering up to $30 off the first month. Standard pricing is $73.99 per month, but with the promotion, viewers can start for as little as $49.99, depending on the plan. Fubo’s Pro Plan includes more than 120 channels, and the Elite package bumps that up to over 180 channels and offers more than 130 events in 4K, as detailed by the company.

DIRECTV is another strong contender, mirroring many of Fubo’s features, including unlimited cloud DVR storage and a range of customizable streaming packages. Prices start at $89.99 per month, but new users can take advantage of a five-day free trial and a $40 discount on their first month, bringing the initial cost down to $49. DIRECTV also allows subscribers to tailor their channel lineup with genre packs, cutting down on unnecessary channels and making the viewing experience more personalized.

Sling TV provides a flexible alternative for those who want to avoid traditional cable. The platform offers a selection of popular channels with plans starting at $45.99 per month after the first month. New this season are day, week, and weekend passes, allowing users to pay only for the time they plan to watch—starting at just $4.99. It’s a move that caters to the increasingly on-demand habits of today’s viewers.

Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming arm, is also in the mix. The service stands out for its combination of blockbuster movies, hit TV shows, and acclaimed originals like The Traitors and Poker Face. Peacock offers three plans: a free ad-supported tier with select content, Peacock Premium at $5.99 per month, and Peacock Premium Plus at $11.99 per month for ad-free viewing. For Summer House fans, new episodes drop every Wednesday, just a day after the Bravo broadcast. It’s a convenient option for those willing to avoid spoilers for 24 hours.

For the uninitiated, Summer House follows a group of friends as they escape the city for a season of sun-soaked weekends in the Hamptons. The show is part soap opera, part social experiment, with cast members balancing their professional ambitions with the pursuit of fun, love, and a little bit of mischief. Over the years, the series has built a devoted following thanks to its candid portrayal of friendship, romance, and the occasional meltdown (or two).

This season, the absence of Paige DeSorbo and the new chapter for Lindsay Hubbard are expected to ripple through the group, challenging established alliances and opening the door for new friendships and rivalries. As the house welcomes Mia Calabrese, KJ Dillard, Dara Levitan, Levi Sebree, Bailey Taylor, and Ben Waddell, there’s plenty of speculation about who will click—and who will clash. The addition of fresh faces always brings a bit of unpredictability, and according to Bravo, "some manage to catch the eyes of some in the house," setting the stage for the kind of romantic entanglements and dramatic showdowns that have become the show’s trademark.

Ultimately, Summer House season 10 promises to be a season of transformation. With major cast changes, new streaming options, and a fresh infusion of personalities, the show is poised to keep its spot among Bravo’s must-watch reality offerings. Whether you’re tuning in for the love triangles, the late-night parties, or just to see who’s feuding with whom, this season offers something for everyone—and maybe a few surprises along the way.

As the sun sets on another Hamptons summer, all eyes are on the house to see who will thrive, who will struggle, and who might just steal the spotlight. One thing’s for sure: it wouldn’t be summer without a little drama.
