The cast of Summer House is ever-changing — and season 9 is shaping up to be another year full of wild parties in the Hamptons with some of the fans’ favorite faces.
Season 8 of the Bravo series centered around Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard as they planned for their fall 2023 nuptials. However, after many weeks of fighting, all captured on camera, the pair called off their engagement in August 2023.
The season also included married couple Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula and fellow housemates Paige DeSorbo, Ciara Miller, Danielle Olivera and Gabby Prescod. Newcomers West Wilson and Jesse Solomon shook up the shared house as the only single men.
Despite all the drama, Jesse exclusively told Us in May 2024 that he is “hopeful” that everyone in the cast will be able to live under one roof come season 9.

“I think people are reasonable and there’s levels of friendship. There’s best friends and there’s acquaintances,” Jesse said. “And we all share mutual friends, so we know that we’re going to be in this house. I think we’re adults and can kind of move forward knowing that there’s been issues in the past.”
