Summer House is an American reality television series which has been broadcast on Bravo since January 9, 2017.[1]

The success of the show has resulted in two spin-offs: Winter House and .[2]

Overview

Summer House follows a group of friends who share a summer house in the Hamptons town of Southampton, New York.[3]

Season 1

The first season premiered on January 9, 2017. Kyle Cooke, Cristina Gibson, Lindsay Hubbard, Stephen McGee, Carl Radke, Jaclyn Shuman, Everett Weston, Ashley Wirkus, and Lauren Wirkus were introduced as cast members.

The tenth episode of the fifth season in Vanderpump Rules titled "Summer House Rules" served as a cross-over preview to Summer House.[4] [5] The transition of the two-hour episode featured Kristen Doute, Katie Maloney, Stassi Schroeder and Scheana heading to New York and visiting the summer house alongside the cast. After the Vanderpump Rules cast departed New York, the second half featured primarily on the Summer House cast.[6] [7] The second half of the episode attracted a total of 842,000 viewers.[8]

The house in the first season is located at 90 Napeague Harbor Road, in Amagansett[9] on the western edge of Montauk.[10] Filming took place in private spaces though in the area.[11]

It was announced in April 2017 that the series had been renewed for a second season.[12] However, the Town of East Hampton denied permission to shoot at the same house on the Montauk/Napeague line. The Town noted that the house could not be used for commercial purposes, violated town codes prohibiting four unrelated people from living in a house, and was not on the town rental registry as required in 2017.[13]

Season 2

The second season premiered on January 22, 2018. Kyle Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, Stephen McGee, Carl Radke, and Lauren Wirkus returned from the first season, with Amanda Batula, Amit Neuman, and Danielle Olivera joining the main cast. Ashley Wirkus returned in a recurring role.

The house in the second season is located at 1451 Deerfield Road,[14] Watermill, New York (in Southampton, New York rather than East Hampton in the first season).[15]

Season 3

The third season premiered on March 4, 2019. Amanda Batula, Kyle Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, Danielle Olivera, and Carl Radke returned for the third season, with Hannah Berner, Paige DeSorbo, and Jordan Verroi joining the main cast.

Season 4

The fourth season premiered on February 5, 2020. Amanda Batula, Hannah Berner, Kyle Cooke, Paige DeSorbo, Lindsay Hubbard, and Carl Radke returned, with Jules Daoud and Luke Gulbranson joining the main cast.[16]

Season 5

Unlike previous seasons where filming took place over weekends throughout the summer, the format was changed for season five due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than traveling back and forth between New York City and the Hamptons each weekend, the cast lived together and worked from home in the Hamptons for a full six weeks while filming occurred.

The fifth season premiered on February 4, 2021. Amanda Batula, Hannah Berner, Kyle Cooke, Paige DeSorbo, Luke Gulbranson, Lindsay Hubbard, Danielle Olivera, and Carl Radke returned, with Ciara Miller joining the cast.[17]

The house in the fifth season is located at 10 Watermill Height Drive, Water Mill, New York.

A preview of Winter House season one appeared after the season finale on April 22, 2021.

Season 6

The sixth season premiered on January 17, 2022. Amanda Batula, Kyle Cooke, Paige DeSorbo, Luke Gulbranson, Lindsay Hubbard, Ciara Miller, Danielle Olivera, and Carl Radke returned, with Andrea Denver of Winter House, Mya Allen, and Alex Wach. Hannah Berner did not return. Southern Charm’s Craig Conover and Austen Kroll made guest appearances.

Season 7

The seventh season premiered on February 13, 2023.[18] Kyle Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, Amanda Batula, Danielle Olivera, Paige DeSorbo, Ciara Miller, and Mya Allen all returned, joined by Samantha Feher, Chris Leoni, and Gabby Prescod. Andrea Denver returned in a friend capacity, joined by Winter House cast member Kory Keefer. Luke Gulbranson and Alex Wach did not return to the series, although Gulbranson made a guest appearance.[19] [18] Southern Charms Craig Conover made guest appearances.

Season 8

The eighth season premiered on February 22, 2024. Kyle Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, Amanda Batula, Danielle Olivera, Paige DeSorbo, Ciara Miller, and Gabby Prescod all returned alongside new cast members Jesse Solomon and West Wilson.
