When does “Summer House” start filming? What we know about season 11 after that explosive reunion

Key Points

• The Summer House season 10 reunion ended with the news that a bonus episode will air on Tuesday, June 16.

• The season 11 cast has not yet been finalized, but it will likely be announced by late June.

• Summer House season 11 will begin filming in early July.

After an eventful 19 weeks, Summer House season 10 is officially… almost over.

What began as a perfectly normal season for the long-running Bravo show — once again covering the hard-partying exploits of a New York friend group as they escape to the Hamptons — took a sharp turn on March 31 when stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson revealed they were in a romantic relationship. The news shook the reality TV universe for myriad reasons, largely stemming from Batula and Wilson’s relationships with housemates Ciara Miller and Kyle Cooke. Many fans are still in mourning and looking for answers.

Everything came to a head at the three-part reunion, which saw the Summer House cast come together for the first time since “Scamanda” went public. The discussion largely revolved around Batula and Wilson’s relationship, with the two going on the defense as Miller, Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, and the rest of the cast demanded answers. By the end of Part 3, some — most vocally Hubbard — felt that they hadn’t gotten the accountability they were looking for.

But never fear! Bravo has even more in store for fans, as the final moments of the reunion revealed there will be a bonus episode, Summer House: The Aftermath.

Beyond that, the series has already been greenlit for another season, and fans are dying to know what it will look like. Below is everything we know about Summer House season 11 so far.

Wait, there’s a bonus episode of Summer House?

Yes! Ahead of Part 3, Bravo warned fans to stay tuned until the very last minute, and they were rewarded with the news that there’s one final chapter of this saga.

Airing on Tuesday, June 16, at 8 p.m. ET, Summer House: The Aftermath will feature new (and hopefully illuminating) one-on-one conversations between Batula and Hubbard, Cooke and Wilson, and Miller and Meija Moreno. Talk of a sit-down between Cooke and Wilson has been flying around the fanbase for weeks, and now we know when we’ll get to see it.

These conversations took place three weeks after the reunion, which filmed on April 23. The scenes between Miller and Moreno will be of particular interest to fans, as Moreno is Wilson’s ex-girlfriend who, as discussed in the reunion, believed they were exclusive while Wilson continued to hook up with other women. Miller reached out to her and spoke to her on the phone during the reunion, but this promises to be a more in-depth interaction.

Who is returning for Summer House season 11?

Recent weeks have seen conflicting reports about who will return for season 11, but according to Bravo’s VP of current production, Josh Brown, nothing is set in stone. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter released after Part 2 of the reunion, Brown stated, “We don’t make our decisions until later in June, officially.” He also reiterated that any reports about the season 11 cast are “premature.”

One such story from TMZ claimed that Miller had locked down her Summer House return and would film the new season after her current gig hosting the Love Island USA talk show Aftersun. However, the reality star cast doubt over that days later, posting on Threads, “My team would N E V E R give TMZ an ‘exclusive’.”

Season 10’s returning stars included Miller, Cooke, Batula, Wilson, Hubbard, Carl Radke, and Jesse Solomon. The newcomers were Mia Calabrese, KJ Dillard, Dara Levitan, Bailey Taylor, Ben Waddell, and Levi Sebree. It is expected that the season 11 cast will feature a combination of — if not all of — these stars, though Batula and Wilson’s involvement remains a point of contention among fans.

When does Summer House season 11 begin filming?

Historically, each season of Summer House has picked up around late June or early July, often very close to Fourth of July weekend. Season 11 looks to be no different, with Brown’s THR interview confirming filming will begin in early July. It’s expected that cameras will roll through the rest of summer.

For those still preoccupied with the question of who will be back in the Hamptons this summer — it’s okay, we are too — it’s worth nothing that Peacock says Love Island will run “for about six weeks” this year. Six weeks from the start of the season puts its finale around the week of July 6, meaning Miller’s Aftersun duties will be just about finished by the time Summer House begins filming. It’s not unheard of for cast members to skip a weekend or two, so Miller could easily rejoin the Bravo series after wrapping up her time in Fiji.

Either way, the cast should be solidified and announced ahead of the early July filming start.

When will Summer House season 11 premiere on Bravo?

Despite its beach-and-pool party vibes, Bravo typically schedules Summer House for the middle of winter. Every season thus far — with the exception of one — has premiered in either January or February. Considering the slightly later filming start, it seems likely that season 11 will kick off in early February 2027, giving viewers a reprieve from the colder temperatures with some sure-to-be-hot drama.

Where can I watch Summer House?

Summer House is available to stream on Peacock.
