Fans are on their toes waiting to see who will — and won’t — return for Summer House season 11.
Season 10 was filled with drama as Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula navigated their relationship woes. After deciding to call it quits after four years of marriage, Amanda quickly moved on with costar West Wilson — who also happens to be the ex of Amanda’s best friend Ciara Miller. Amanda and West confirmed their romance after filming concluded, but the topic was the center of discussion at the reunion and a bonus episode titled “The Aftermath.”
The show is expected to follow the fallout from Amanda and West’s relationship in season 11, but will be doing so without the two key figures. A source exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2026 that West would not be returning amid the scandal, which he later confirmed. Insiders later told Us Amanda would not be back either. The following month, Bravo revealed which cast members would be returning for season 11.
Keep scrolling to see who is and isn’t returning for Summer House season 11:
Lindsay Hubbard
Lindsay, who has been on Summer House since its 2017 premiere, is an original main cast member and confirmed to return for season 11.
Carl Radke
As the second Summer House OG, Carl will be returning next season.
Kyle Cooke
Kyle raised eyebrows in June 2026 when fans thought he was saying goodbye to the Bravo series on social media. However, Kyle quickly clarified that wasn’t the case.
“The show isn’t cancelled and this is not me announcing I won’t return,” he wrote via Instagram. “I was feeling emo and always planned [on] sharing the cover photo because it DID feel like the end of an era, which is why everyone else was so emotional saying their goodbyes on the finale.”
Bravo confirmed in July 2026 that Kyle would be coming back for season 11.
Amanda Batula
Last season, Amanda was front and center with her and Kyle’s relationship issues and breakup before she made headlines for her new controversial romance with West. Season 11 is expected to pick up on the aftermath of the love triangle scandal. However, Amanda won’t be part of it.
“Amanda was not invited back to season 11,” one source exclusively told Us, noting that executives thought it wouldn’t “be a fun summer” without having “organic relationships with the rest of the cast.”
“Amanda seems to agree it’s not a good fit,” the source shared, adding that other cast members are also “in agreement with the decision.”
She was not included in the list of returning cast members when Bravo announced the group in July 2026.
Ciara Miller
Ciara was a main fixture in Amanda and West’s romance scandal, as Ciara — who was besties with Amanda — dated West on and off before ultimately making things official with Amanda. Ciara’s costars — and fans — have rallied around her amid the betrayal.
As many expect Ciara to return, she hinted she was back in the Hamptons filming in July 2026. Ciara does have other projects in the works, including hosting Love Island USA’s After Sun program. (Bravo confirmed her return that same month.)
Jesse Solomon
A source exclusively told Us in June 2026 that Jesse will return, which Bravo confirmed the next month.
West Wilson
Following fallout from the season 10 reunion due to his romance with Amanda, a source exclusively told Us in June 2026 that West was not asked back for Summer House.
“West isn’t coming back,” the insider explained. “He could still make an appearance on Summer House or In the City in the future, especially if things with Amanda progress, but he’s not a cast member this season.”
An additional insider told Us the decision was “mutual.”
“It became even clearer that there wasn’t a long-term fit anymore,” the source shared. “He is at peace with the decision and is focusing on his podcast and other business ventures.”
He confirmed the news that same month, sharing in an Instagram video, “I wanted to tell it on my own, but that [exit rumor] is true. In [Bravo’s] defense, I don’t think it would have been a fun summer.”
Mia Calabrese
Mia, who joined the cast in season 10, will make a return.
KJ Dillard
Since KJ made his Summer House debut in season 10, he has made headlines for calling out friend West amid the scandal. He will be returning for season 11.
Dara Levitan
Dara, who previously dated West and KJ, also joined the series in season 10. Bravo did not confirm her return in July 2026.
Levi Sebree
A source told Us in June 2026 that newcomer Levi was not asked back for season 11. She was not included as one of the returning cast members in Bravo’s July 2026 announcement.
Bailey Taylor
Bailey, who was a season 10 newbie, will return.
Ben Waddell
Ben’s involvement in Summer House season 11 has been revealed.
A source confirms to Us that The Bachelor Australia alum and his girlfriend, Sabrina Belle, are departing the Bravo series as part of a larger cast overhaul.
“Ben and Sabrina had the greatest time last summer. There’s so much love that exists between the friend group, and the entire Bravo family,” a spokesperson for the couple later told Us. “As for the future, time will tell. They’re looking forward to what’s ahead.”
Bravo also confirmed his departure when the season 11 returning cast members were announced in July 2026.
