Summer House is officially Emmy-nominated.
The Bravo reality series earned its first nod for unstructured reality program as the slate of 2026 Emmy nominees were unveiled on Wednesday. The Emmy nomination comes after the closing of the series’ 10th season, which took off following its much-talked about scandal.
Summer House is nominated alongside America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, Love on the Spectrum, RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked and Welcome to Wrexham in the outstanding unstructured reality program category.
Summer House took over the pop cultural zeitgeist earlier this spring when West Wilson and Amanda Batula confirmed they were an item; the romance came as a shock as Batula used to be close friends with Ciara Miller, whom Wilson also previously dated. Batula herself announced her split from her husband Kyle Cooke in January, making matters messier.
The controversy made for a dramatic three-part reunion, where Wilson and Batula came face-to-face with their cast for the first time. Post-reunion, Bravo chose to air a special bonus episode, where Batula and Linsday Hubbard; Cooke and Wilson; and Miller and Meija Moreno, the latter being Wilson’s ex-girlfriend whom he was dating when his romance with Batula took off.
Production on season 11 of Summer House kicks off in early July, though Bravo has not revealed its full plans for the upcoming installment. What’s for sure is Wilson and Batula will both not appear on the next season, though THR understands that Cooke, Hubbard and Carl Radke are most likely to return to the show. Although the main question for Summer House fans is if Miller will come back, and also in what capacity.
Batula, Cooke and Hubbard are all currently starring on the Summer House spinoff In The City, which spotlights their lives living in New York City. Season one airs Tuesdays on Bravo, and has already filmed its first reunion, to air after the installment finishes airing.
Miller is currently finishing out hosting Love Island USA‘s companion series Aftersun, and will later this fall compete on season 35 of Dancing With the Stars.
Top Chef has been a consistent nominee in the reality competition program category for Bravo since 2007. Other shows including Vanderpump Rules and Below Deck Down Under have earned surprise nods in the unstructured reality program category in recent years, with Summer House joining those ranks.
