After the internet was set aflame last week when “Summer House” stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirmed they’re dating (or something), Bravo has announced that the show’s highly anticipated spinoff “In the City” — starring Batula, Kyle Cooke and Lindsay Hubbard — will premiere on May 19. The show’s debut will be a two-hour crossover with the Season 10 finale of “Summer House.” Bravo also revealed the full cast of “In the City,” which includes “Summer House” alumni Danielle Olivera and Andrea Denver.
“Summer House” fans already know that “In the City,” which was filmed last fall in New York City,” will depict the end of Cooke and Batula’s marriage. The couple, who married on camera in September 2021, announced their split in January 2026, a month before Season 10 of “Summer House” premiered. And there’s plenty of “Scenes From a Marriage”-like fighting between in the “In the City” superteaser, with Batula saying to Cooke, “We don’t have a pre-nup, but if you come for me, I’ll come for you,” and Cooke responding, “That would be a losing battle.” Batula then says: “Are you threatening me?”
Yet what will surely also get fans’ attention in light of Batula and Wilson’s explosive recent announcement that they’re exploring a relationship is a loving hug between them in the trailer. “Hey, Mandy!” Wilson says to Batula warmly as he embraces her. (Wilson will appear only as a guest on “In the City.”) Batula and Wilson confirmed they’re dating after weeks of internet sleuthing among the Bravosphere, sparked by DeuxMoi, which involved canceled Amazon Lives, the absence of posts being liked and cryptic posts by “Summer House” stars.
As opposed to other times when Bravo stars’ lives get messy, the network didn’t restart filming on “Summer House” in order to capture the aftermath of the Amanda-West scandal, and the accompanying fallout with Cooke; “Summer House” star Ciara Miller, Batula’s purported close friend and Wilson’s ex; and the rest of the cast (though we do know from Cooke that “Carl’s a mess.”) The “Summer House” reunion will film later this month (Bravo wouldn’t confirm when), and will roll out after the show’s May 19 finale.
Beyond Cooke and Batula’s bitter arguments, and that brief moment between Batula and Wilson, the trailer also introduced Olivera, Eoin Heavey, Denver, Lexi Sundin, Nick Barber, Yvonne Najor, Georgina Ferzil, Whitney Fransway (who’s been on “The Bachelor” franchise), Kenny Martin, Gavin Moseley and Katie Arundel into the action. “Nick,” Danielle says heatedly over dinner, “are you married to Yvonne or not?” When Nick says “Yes,” Gavin responds, “That’s not what you said at boys night!” A tearful Lindsay, while on a tearful Facetime with her parents, says, “I’m choosing partners that continue to abandon me, and it’s made me feel like I should be ashamed.” There also seem to be fertility journeys to go on, and marital difficulties beyond Cooke and Batula’s doomed union.
“In The City” is produced by Truly Original (a Banijay Americas company) with Steven Weinstock, Glenda Hersh, Lauren Eskelin, Jamie Jakimo, Lori Gordon, Tamara Najm Coudurier and Faith Gaskins serving as executive producers.
The full cast of “In the City” is below.

Yvonne leans on her bestie Lindsay for support, and Nick weighs the pressure of career and financial uncertainty as they decide if they’re truly ready to start a family.

- Former model and social media influencer, Whitney Fransway left Los Angeles for New York City to move in with her boyfriend, Kenny Martin, a self-made real estate investor and venture capitalist, after less than a year of dating. After appearing on “The Bachelor,” Whitney’s always been a romantic at heart, willing to take big risks for love while Kenny – Kyle’s friend and Loverboy investor – is the blunt truth-teller who’s never afraid to challenge those closest to him. As their relationship deepens and Kenny grapples with the recent passing of his mother, they must confront their mismatched timelines.

As skepticism from the group surrounds them, they’re quickly finding out if they can handle the mounting pressure.
- Gavin Moseley is a fixture in NYC nightlife, launching a string of successful bars and speakeasies frequented by friends and celebrities alike including his close friend, Kyle. A quintessential New York bachelor, he thrives in the party scene and avoids settling down despite an on-and-off again relationship. As his best friend Kenny grows more serious about love, cracks in their bromance may be inevitable.
- Fresh off their first year of marriage, Andrea Denver and his wife, Lexi Sundin, have settled back in New York after months of traveling. At 34 with his parents in Italy, Andrea feels the pressure of time to start the family he’s always wanted. Beneath Lexi’s calm exterior, however, lies some of her biggest unanswered questions about their future. They must decide whether their dream home in Italy will remain a vacation retreat or become a forever home. Though deeply in love, their vision for what comes next might not align.
- Katie Arundel is dependable, warm, and, as her childhood best friend, one of the few people Amanda fully trusts. Katie’s unafraid to challenge Kyle in a way only a ride-or-die could. She’s fiercely loyal, but that doesn’t come without complications as Katie is also close with Danielle, who doesn’t always see eye-to-eye with Amanda.
