The drama is heating up in the Summer House as the series gears up for its ninth season. While the show has been around for eight years, Summer House season 8 was hotly anticipated after news broke that Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke ended their engagement. Despite being friends for years, the Summer House OGs started dating by the end of season 6. They got engaged on the series and prepared for their wedding throughout season 8 while navigating intense relationship conflicts. Nonetheless, Carl broke up with Lindsay in the season’s final episode - they went their separate ways.
Aside from the drama between Lindsay and Carl, Summer House season 8 featured two new and entertaining personalities, West Wilson and Summer House rookie Jesse Soloman. These newbies brought a fresh energy that took a bit of the focus off Lindsay and Carl’s summer of conflict. Season 8 was interesting because of these factors, though season 9 will be even more entertaining. The Summer House stars have gone through some major life changes since they filmed the series in the summer of 2023, and a new season is likely to track all the progress they’ve made.
Summer House Season 9 News
West & Ciara Broke Up & There Are Rumors Another Couple's On The Rocks
Aside from Lindsay and Carl’s split, Summer House stars West and Ciara Miller have broken up. Their relationship started as a flirtatious showmance. West came in as one of two new men in the cast, and Ciara showed an interest in him. They grew closer throughout Summer House season 8 and continued dating after filming wrapped. At the reunion, they gave a sad update about their status as a couple. By early December 2023, they had a conversation about where their relationship stood. West told Ciara he couldn’t commit to her for “ show-related reasons .”
“I stopped talking to you altogether because I think that's mean to take someone to your parents' house and want to sleep with them when you have no intention of doing anything."
After they spoke, Ciara “went home crying,” mourning the loss of her potential with West. Paige DeSorbo pointed out that he liked the attention that came from appearing on the Bravo show. He said he was more concerned with, “the public not liking him,” than Ciara’s feelings. West and Ciara admitted they still have feelings for each other, which has left questions surrounding their future. Additionally, Ciara joined the cast of The Traitors season 3, keeping the show somewhat in the spotlight during its off-time.
There’s been speculation that Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula are divorcing. In a screenshot from Deuxmoi’s Instagram page, reshared by Betches, an anonymous source said a “Bravo entrepreneur turned DJ” was spotted with another woman on a night out, hinting at “ another breakup in the cards this Summer .” Despite the rumors, an additional source “close to the couple” told Betches they were still together and upset by the cheating allegations. Kyle and Amanda had dealt with infidelity on the series before, but the recent rumors have put all eyes on the Summer House duo.

Summer House Season 9 Potential Cast
Some Big Names May Appear
The Summer House season 9 cast hasn't been confirmed, but all season 8 personalities will likely return. The audience was receptive to its new cast members, West and Jesse. Though West and Ciara have called things off, they said that they still care for each other. Summer House season 9 could see them reconcile or decide to remain friends.
The network would be making a mistake if Lindsay and Carl weren't invited back for another season. It’s been almost a year since they separated, but their relationship still causes drama. Carl told Decider he’d “love” to return “if it made sense.”
“Trust me, I’ve been doing this for the last 10 summers — and eight with cameras — I can’t see a world where I wouldn’t do it again. But we’ll see. Fingers crossed.”
With rumors circulating about Kyle and Amanda’s marriage, it’s assumed Bravo would ask them to return for Summer House season 9. He is an OG of the series, and Summer House wouldn't be the same without his presence. While the audience has mixed feelings about Danielle Olivera, she got closer to the women during season 8.
Summer House season 9 hasn't been confirmed by Bravo, and it’s only a matter of time before the show's stars start filming. No additional details about the upcoming season have been confirmed, though most of the season 8 cast will return for season 9. In the wake of Lindsay and Carl’s split, muddied waters between West and Ciara, and rumors about Kyle and Amanda, Summer House season 9 should be very watchable.
Summer House seasons 1-9 are now available to stream on Peacock.
