Bravo fans, buckle up. Summer House is no longer just a Hamptons party show. It is becoming a full-blown franchise.
The producers behind the hit series are making it clear: this is bigger than one beach house.
Glenda Hersh, co-founder of Truly Original, told Deadline that the team is actively scouting two new locations for potential Summer House spin-offs. The goal is simple. Find a weekend escape where cast members can party, build drama, then return to their real lives during the week. The structure stays the same. The city and cast change.
In other words, think The Real Housewives playbook. Just with more rosé and fewer dinner parties.
Hersh explained that the vision is Summer House: Location — the same loose format, new setting, new faces. And according to her, these plans are already in “advanced” stages. This is not a casual brainstorm. This is expansion mode.
Summer House has already tested the waters.
Winter House brought together cast from Summer House, Vanderpump Rules, and Southern Charm for a two-week cold-weather getaway. It ran for three seasons, but Hersh admitted the short filming window made it harder to build long-term storylines. Two weeks of chaos is fun. Three months of chaos is franchise gold.
Then came Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard, which featured an all-Black cast. The show ran for two seasons before Bravo put it on pause in 2024. Fans are still split on whether that pause is temporary or permanent.
Now, a new chapter is on the way.
In The City will follow original Summer House stars Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula, and Lindsay Hubbard as they navigate adult life in New York City. Less shared bedrooms. More real-world pressure.
But here’s where it gets interesting.
Hersh hinted that In The City may eventually stand on its own. Instead of being born from Summer House, future versions could launch with brand-new casts who never stepped foot in a Hamptons rental.
If that happens, Bravo won’t just have one franchise. They will have two expandable formats built from the same DNA.
And the timing makes sense.
Season 10 of Summer House just premiered to its highest debut ratings ever. Ten seasons in, and it is still growing. That is rare in reality TV.
Meanwhile, Vanderpump Rules is rumored to be returning for another season, according to TMZ. The long-running series was recently rebooted with a new cast for season 12, and it delivered the biggest premiere for a new series on Bravo last year. All signs point to the reboot cast returning, plus a few new additions.
The Valley is also coming back for season three on April 1, while The Valley: Persian Style is wrapping up its first season.
Translation: Bravo is not slowing down.
If anything, the network is doubling down on expandable reality formats. Shared houses. Shared cities. Shared drama. Different casts.
The Real Housewives built an empire city by city. Now Summer House looks ready to follow the same blueprint.
The only question left is where we’re partying next.
Would you watch a Summer House in Miami? Chicago? Vegas?
