Bravo has confirmed the full returning cast for “Summer House” season 11, closing out weeks of speculation following the departures of two central figures whose off-camera romance upended the show’s ninth season. Carl Radke, Lindsay Hubbard, Ciara Miller, Kyle Cooke, Jesse Solomon, Mia Calabrese, Bailey Taylor and KJ Dillard will return, the network announced Monday, alongside confirmation that filming is already underway.
The lineup notably excludes Amanda Batula, a cast fixture across all ten prior seasons, and West Wilson, who joined the show three seasons ago. The two confirmed in March that they had begun dating, a revelation that fractured the friend group and dominated the show’s three-part reunion special this spring. Wilson had signaled the writing was on the wall in a June TikTok appearance, acknowledging his likely exit while conceding, “I don’t think it would have been a fun summer” had he stayed.
Bravo executive Josh Brown, the network’s vice president of current production, told The Hollywood Reporter in June that the cast would be finalized by late June, with filming beginning shortly after. Miller’s return had been in doubt given her closeness with Batula prior to the fallout, but Brown made clear the decision belonged to her alone.
“We want Ciara to be happy,” he said, adding that he considered her “someone whose story I want to follow for a very long time, on the show or not.” Miller ultimately confirmed her own return live on the “Love Island USA” after-show “Aftersun,” which she had been co-hosting, telling viewers she needed to “get back to the Hamptons.”
Season 10 newcomers Ben Waddell, Dara Levitan and Levi Sebree are also exiting the show, having reportedly failed to establish a strong enough rapport with the rest of the cast during their debut season. A Bravo executive previously explained the network’s reluctance to keep feuding castmates together given the show’s shared-living format, noting that, unlike other Bravo properties, “Summer House” cast members “actually live together.”
Filming will run through Labor Day, consistent with the show’s usual production calendar, positioning season 11 for a likely early 2027 premiere. The season comes on the heels of an Emmy nomination for the show, with Bravo framing the casting reveal as a celebration of that recognition.
