Summer House went through multiple cast exits before season 10 started filming — but who can Bravo fans expect to see back in the Hamptons?
The hit series, which premiered in 2017, follows a group of friends who share a house on the weekends in the summer. Over the years, Summer House has seen people come and go, but viewers were shocked when three cast members confirmed their departures before season 10 even began.
Paige DeSorbo surprised Us in June when she announced her exit after seven seasons.
“I have a little life update for you: I’ve made the decision not to return to Summer House,” she shared via her Instagram Stories. “Being a part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life — the friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable.”
Paige continued: “You’ve seen me grow up over these last seven summers. I’ll always be beyond grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close.”
Imrul Hassan and Lexi Wood were the next season 9 stars to reveal that they weren’t planning to come back. There were even fake departure announcements that the Summer House cast had to clarify weren’t true before the season 10 cast was officially confirmed.
In December, Bravo gave fans the first look at the drama coming their way when Summer House returns in February 2026. New cast members Mia Calabrese, KJ Dillard, Dara Levitan, Levi Sebree, Bailey Taylor and Ben Waddell were also revealed.
Keep scrolling to see see which Bravo favorites are — and aren’t — returning for season 10:
Kyle Cooke
“I feel like we have to do a season 10. A nice, round 10. We’re all at different stages in our lives. Paige is recently single. There’s always something interesting going on, there’s always something new,” Kyle told the Television Academy in February. “If we were standing in one place, I feel like that wouldn’t be a good show either. The fact that it has been able to evolve a little bit and follow us as we go through different stages in life, I think is kind of what people are [looking for]. They’re along for the ride.”
Along with participating in the recently announced spinoff, both Kyle and Amanda will be back for Summer House season 10.
Amanda Batula
Amanda explained in the same interview with the Television Academy that the cast doesn’t “get to really make the decisions” about coming back. “I would think, in my perfect world, one of two things would happen. It’s either Summer House evolves with us and looks different in terms of people being married and having children, and it just becomes a different show,” she said. “Or Summer House continues with the singles, and there’s a The Valley-type breakout. But again, I don’t make the decisions.”
As rumors spread about their marriage off camera, the first look at season 10 showed tension ramping up between Amanda and Kyle.
Lindsay Hubbard
“BFFR of course I’m coming back this summer 💃🏼,” Lindsay, who welcomed daughter Gemma in December 2024, wrote via Instagram. “(It’s just going to look a little different for me since I’m a whole ass mom now).”
Carl Radke
In response to a fake statement announcing his departure, Carl clarified he had no plans to leave.
“I look forward to spending the summer in the Hamptons with my friends,” Carl exclusively told Us Weekly in a June statement. “I will very much be a part of season 10!”
Paige DeSorbo
After announcing her exit, Paige elaborated on the decision, saying on her “Giggly Squad” podcast, “I just feel like I gave all I could give. You know when you make a drastic switch in your life and before you do it, you’re like, ‘But how am I going to feel when I do it? What if I regret it?’ I was dealing with that. I was like, ‘But what if I say it to everyone and then I’m like, Oh, my God, I want to go back.’”
Paige noted that she felt “so aligned” with her decision after it became official.
Ciara Miller
It would be hard to imagine a summer without Ciara — and luckily, fans won’t have to yet. The season 10 teaser showed Ciara potentially rekindling her connection with West after their dramatic split.
Gabby Prescod
Gabby was not on the list of returning stars when Bravo announced the cast in December.
Jesse Solomon
During an appearance on the “Chicks in the Office” podcast in April, Jesse noted that he was “excited for the summer.”
“They’re casting away. People are hitting me up,” Jesse said, adding that he wanted the show to find “fun-loving people” who want to go out for season 10. “It’s hard to find people that are willing to be themselves on camera and are deeper than just like to have fun and go to the Hamptons. I hope there’s more seasons, but who knows?”
Jesse’s return to the show was confirmed in December.
West Wilson
Jesse teased on the “Chicks in the Office” podcast that he and West are both planning to go into the next season single. The first look at season 10, however, hints sparks could fly again between West and Ciara.
Imrul Hassan
“I meant to share this last week, but with everything going on, the timing didn’t feel quite right. I’ve decided not to return for another season of Summer House — I know, shocking!” Imrul wrote via his Instagram Story in June. “It was an incredible opportunity, and I truly had a lot of fun.”
He added: “I won’t drag this out, but I want to say thank you for all your support — and for supporting my foundation as well. A special shoutout to my castmates for their generous donations and for helping spread the word. Overall, it was a really good experience. Would recommend.”
Lexi Wood
Following major ups and downs with Jesse in season 9, Lexi opted not to come back.
“Well … that wasn’t the summer I signed up for but it definitely taught me a lot,” she wrote via her Instagram Story in June. “I stood up for women and for what’s right, even when it wasn’t easy and I’d do that again in a heartbeat. I’m leaving Summer House with no regrets (well … maybe one.) I’m proud of the way I handled myself, proud of what I walked away from and even prouder of what I’m walking toward. Big things are coming! Stay tuned!”
