Summer House Season 10 Debuts With New Cast Drama

Bravo’s reality hit returns with six new housemates, fresh streaming options, and a milestone season that shakes up the Hamptons’ summer scene.

After nearly a decade of sun-soaked weekends, themed parties, and enough drama to fill a summer’s worth of gossip columns, Bravo’s Summer House is back for its milestone tenth season. The show’s much-anticipated premiere aired on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET, drawing viewers into the Hamptons for another round of high-energy escapades and relationship rollercoasters. For those craving a bit of vicarious warmth amid winter’s chill, this season promises a blend of familiar faces and bold new personalities, all under one Montauk roof.

This year’s cast features a mix of returning favorites and six newcomers, marking the largest cast shake-up in the show’s history. Fans will recognize Amanda Batula, Kyle Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, Ciara Miller, Jesse Solomon, and West Wilson—all of whom are back to stir the pot and keep the party going. But perhaps the biggest shock for longtime viewers is the absence of Paige DeSorbo, a fixture since the early days, making this the first season without her. According to USA TODAY, Paige’s departure signals a “new era” for the show, while Lindsay Hubbard, one of the show’s original stars, returns for her first summer as a mom.

Adding to the excitement are six fresh faces, each bringing their own unique energy and backstory. Among the newcomers is Mia Calabrese, a Manhattan real estate broker originally from Chicago, who enters the house through her friendship with Ciara Miller. Then there’s KJ Dillard, a former professional skateboarder now pursuing modeling and music, and Dara Levitan, a content creator with a past romantic link to West Wilson. Levi Sebree, an Indianapolis native and event planner, is newly single after ending an 11-year relationship—talk about a plot twist! Bailey Taylor, the creative force behind the social media platform It Girl, and Ben Waddell, an Australian native and alum of The Australian Bachelor, round out the lineup, promising both new alliances and inevitable fireworks.

The premise of Summer House remains delightfully unchanged. As described by USA TODAY and echoed by FuboTV, the show follows a group of young professionals who, after a week of hustling in New York City, escape to a shared house in Montauk each weekend between Memorial Day and Labor Day. There, they indulge in an exclusive, high-end lifestyle—think booze-filled brunches, charity galas, bonfires, and, of course, drama-filled romances. For viewers, it’s a tantalizing glimpse into a summer playground where work stress melts away and anything can happen.

Season 10’s premiere wasted no time diving into the drama. According to Bravo and Page Six, the group’s first ride out to the rental set the stage for what’s sure to be an eventful summer. One storyline already grabbing attention is the ongoing struggle in Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke’s marriage. The couple, whose ups and downs have been a central thread since the show’s inception in 2017, announced their split in January, just months after filming wrapped. Their relationship woes, from apathy to confrontation, are expected to be front and center this season. As reported by Bravo, Amanda confides in Ciara about the state of her marriage, hinting at deeper tensions to come.

But it’s not all heartbreak and heavy conversations. The arrival of six new housemates injects a bold, fresh vibe into the established group dynamic. Bravo teases that these additions will “bring the hype, heat and a bold new vibe—blending legacy with fresh, fun energy.” For fans, this means more unexpected friendships, steamy nights, and, inevitably, new rivalries. The mix of legacy cast members and newcomers is designed to keep viewers guessing—and talking—all season long.

For those eager to tune in, there’s no shortage of ways to watch. The show airs live on Bravo, but cord-cutters have a buffet of streaming options. As outlined by USA TODAY and Page Six, DIRECTV offers a five-day free trial for new users, making it an easy way to catch the premiere without a cable subscription. Sling TV, while lacking a free trial, offers half off the first month when bundling its Orange and Blue plans, and even provides short-term streaming passes for as little as $4.99. Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming platform, offers next-day access to episodes starting at $7.99 per month, with additional Premium and Premium Plus tiers for those seeking more content and fewer ads. FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV also carry Bravo, ensuring that viewers have plenty of choices no matter their streaming preference.

For the uninitiated, Summer House is more than just a reality show—it’s a cultural touchstone for fans of the genre. It began as an offshoot of Vanderpump Rules and quickly carved out its own niche, thanks to its blend of aspirational lifestyles and relatable personal struggles. Over the years, the show has chronicled everything from career changes to relationship implosions, all set against the picturesque backdrop of the Hamptons. The tenth season, with its expanded cast and evolving storylines, aims to build on that legacy while keeping things fresh.

The show’s enduring appeal lies in its ability to balance escapist fantasy with authentic emotion. As Bravo puts it, “After 10 years of iconic themed parties, unexpected friendships and steamy Hamptons nights, Summer House remains the life of the party.” Whether it’s a charity gala gone awry or a late-night heart-to-heart by the bonfire, the series captures the highs and lows of summer living in all their messy, exhilarating glory.

Of course, with so many new faces and shifting alliances, fans are already speculating about which storylines will dominate the season. Will Amanda and Kyle find closure—or more conflict? How will the new housemates fit into the established group, and who will emerge as this summer’s breakout star? Only time (and a few more episodes) will tell.

For now, Summer House Season 10 stands as a testament to the enduring allure of summer, friendship, and the unpredictable magic that happens when you throw a dozen personalities into a luxury rental and let the cameras roll. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a curious newcomer, this season promises plenty of reasons to tune in, pour a glass of rosé, and escape—if only for an hour—to the sun-drenched drama of the Hamptons.

With a new era underway and the party just getting started, all eyes are on Montauk to see what surprises the tenth summer will bring.
