After nearly a decade of sun, parties, and carefully managed chaos, Summer House is no longer just returning. It is resetting. Bravo’s long-running reality series premieres its tenth season on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, and the changes arriving with it suggest the show is entering a new phase—one shaped by cast turnover, shifting life stages, and how audiences now watch television.
The milestone season launches with a live broadcast at 8/7c, although some listings place the premiere at 9 p.m., a small but familiar confusion for regular Bravo viewers. What matters more is what happens inside the house. For the first time, a major fan favorite is gone, an original cast member has returned with a very different life, and six new personalities are being dropped into a format that depends on tension to survive.
New house, new balance of power
The biggest signal of change is the absence of Paige DeSorbo, who does not appear in the house this season. Her exit marks the end of an era for longtime fans and leaves a noticeable gap in the group’s social structure.
At the same time, Lindsay Hubbard returns under new circumstances. One of the show’s original stars, she enters the summer as a mother, bringing a different energy and set of priorities into a house known for late nights and unresolved arguments. Her presence alone shifts how friendships and conflicts are likely to play out.
Returning cast members this season include Amanda Batula, Kyle Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, Ciara Miller, Carl Radke, Jesse Solomon, and West Wilson. They are joined by six newcomers: Mia Calabrese, KJ Dillard, Dara Levitan, Levi Sebree, Bailey Taylor, and Ben Waddell. According to Bravo, some of the new arrivals quickly catch the attention of people already in the house, setting up early romantic and social friction.
Kyle Cooke enters the season balancing travel for his DJ work and the continued growth of his beverage brand, Loverboy. He has said he is looking forward to spending more time with his wife, Amanda Batula, though hints suggest Amanda may want something different from the summer. Ciara Miller’s relaxed approach also raises questions about her relationship with West Wilson, who hopes they can rebuild a connection that cooled in past seasons.
Bravo has described the season’s conflict as more intense and over the top than last year, driven by changing alliances, personal growth, and the pressure of sharing one house in the Hamptons.
Watching habits change with the show
Season 10 also arrives as viewers have more ways than ever to watch. Beyond traditional cable, several streaming platforms are offering access, each reflecting how reality TV now fits into a crowded digital market.
Fubo offers live Bravo streaming with more than 100 channels and a free trial for new users. Standard pricing is $73.99 per month, but current promotions offer up to $30 off the first month, bringing the cost as low as $49.99 depending on the plan. Its Pro Plan includes more than 120 channels, while the Elite package offers over 180 channels and more than 130 events in 4K.
DIRECTV provides a similar experience, with packages starting at $89.99 per month. New subscribers can access a five-day free trial and receive $40 off their first month, lowering the initial price to $49. The service includes unlimited cloud DVR and customizable genre packs.
Sling TV targets flexibility. Plans start at $45.99 per month after the first month, and the platform now offers day, week, and weekend passes starting at $4.99, allowing viewers to pay only for the time they want to watch.
Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service, carries Summer House episodes starting every Wednesday, one day after the Bravo broadcast. It offers a free ad-supported tier with limited content, Peacock Premium at $5.99 per month, and Peacock Premium Plus at $11.99 per month for ad-free viewing. The platform also houses originals such as The Traitors and Poker Face.
For newer viewers, the premise remains simple. Summer House follows a group of friends who spend their weekends in the Hamptons, juggling work, friendships, romance, and conflict. Over the years, the show has built its audience by showing how small issues grow into major confrontations under constant proximity.
Season 10 leans into transition. With Paige DeSorbo gone, Lindsay Hubbard stepping into motherhood, and six new cast members entering the mix, familiar patterns are no longer guaranteed. The show’s future may depend on how well it can evolve without losing the messy honesty that made it popular.
As the Hamptons fill once again with weekend parties and unresolved tension, Summer House is testing whether long-running reality TV can change without breaking. For Bravo, the answer matters now more than ever.
