The Summer House season 9 cast will look different from previous seasons. The highly anticipated installment began filming after Lindsay Hubbard announced her pregnancy following her split from Carl Radke. Their breakup was the main focus of Summer House season 8, as they filmed in the months leading up to their wedding date. Carl and Lindsay’s conflict during the summer negatively impacted the rest of the cast’s experiences - some weren't sure they should tie the knot. Nonetheless, Summer House season 8 had positive moments, aided by the introduction of West Wilson and Jesse Solomon.
The season 8 reunion wrapped up the storyline of Carl and Lindsay’s parting, leaving the door open for the rest of the cast to enter the spotlight. It's easy to wonder if Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula are still together, thanks to rumors that they've hit turbulence - however, their marriage will likely be the main talking point of the season. It will be interesting to see how Carl and Lindsay interact during Summer House season 9, and if the other cast members take sides. With production underway, the cast of Summer House season 9 has already changed.
All The New Summer House Season 8 Castmates Are Returning But One
Danielle Olivera Is Not Returning For Summer House Season 9
Before production began on Summer House season 9, Danielle Olivera announced on Instagram that she was leaving the show. She came to the “heartbreaking decision” because she felt she couldn’t “put 100%” into filming. After Danielle announced her exit, Variety confirmed the rest of the Summer House season 8 cast would return for season 9, with the addition of, “new yet-to-be-announced cast members.” It was speculated that either Carl or Lindsay would exit the show since they'd broken up. However, those rumors have been put to rest.
Two New Cast Members Are Allegedly Joining
Summer House Season 9 Is Going To Look Different
Lexi Wood and Bailee Henderson are the two rumored cast members joining Summer House season 9, per Bravo and Cocktails on Instagram. After Variety announced new personalities would join the show, the cast began filming with the two influencers during the first week of July 2024. Lexi and Bailee haven’t been confirmed in the cast, though it’s assumed they’ll be featured on the show in a full-time capacity.
Who Shouldn't Return To Summer House Season 9?
Should Carl & Lindsay Return To Summer House Season 9?
Danielle is the only cast member from Summer House season 9 who is not returning for season 8. It seemed like it would be odd to see Carl and Lindsay return to the show after their split and her pregnancy. Because Summer House season 8 focused heavily on their relationship, hopefully, the storyline will shift to the other cast members. It might be very tedious to watch another season focused on Carl and Lindsay, which likely won’t happen since she’s moved on with her new boyfriend.
The cast of Summer House season 9 is receiving a mini-shakeup. Danielle is the only longtime cast member not returning for the new season, but it’s rumored that two new personalities are joining the show in her absence. Carl and Lindsay are returning for Summer House season 9, but she’s moved on with a new man and has a baby on the way.
Summer House seasons 1-8 are available to stream on Peacock.
