Paige DeSorbo shocked fans earlier this year when she confirmed she would not return to “Summer House,” ending a seven-season run that defined much of the group’s dynamic. Bravo released the season 10 trailer during Reality Hot Seat, its alternate cast for “Sunday Night Football” on Peacock, and it’s clear the Hamptons crew is stepping into a new era. When the show premieres, viewers will see both familiar faces and a wave of newcomers ready to shake things up.
Meet the New ‘Summer House’ Season 10 Cast Members
The season 10 cast includes returning stars Amanda Batula, Kyle Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, Ciara Miller, Carl Radke, Jesse Solomon, and West Wilson. According to Deadline, they’ll be joined by new friends Mia Calabrese, KJ Dillard, Dara Levitan, Levi Sebree, Bailey Taylor, and Ben Waddell.
Mia Calabrese brings real estate expertise and Midwest warmth to the group. The Chicago native works as a Manhattan broker and arrives in the Hamptons determined to reset after a difficult family year. Bravo describes her as someone “ready to bring the heat, fun, and a little mess.” Although her boyfriend supports her from the city, Mia plans to navigate Hampton’s life on her own terms.
KJ Dillard also enters the house during a major transition. Born in Arizona and raised in Kansas City, he spent nine years as a professional skateboarder before shifting to modeling and music. Single and open to connection, KJ admits he is searching for something real. Living under the same roof might speed that up.
Dara Levitan is a successful content creator who appears to have everything in balance. A year removed from a fast romance with housemate West Wilson, she’s focused on growth and possibility. Bravo notes she has “fully moved on” and is curious about what the Hamptons might bring.
Bailey Taylor, the creator behind media platform It Girl, arrives in a vulnerable but hopeful place. Two years after a painful breakup, she wants to reclaim her confidence. Bailey plans to channel her emotions into fun and self-discovery, especially with her best friend Levi Sebree by her side.
Ben Waddell, known for his humor and confidence, brings Australian energy to the house. After a difficult breakup and an appearance on “The Australian Bachelor,” he’s ready for flings, surprises and maybe a special visitor—if they have “confidence, spark, and a killer smile.”
Levi Sebree, an event planner from Indianapolis, wants to rebuild her dating life after ending an 11-year relationship with her high school sweetheart. With Bailey as her support system, she plans to find out what she truly wants.
Paige DeSorbo’s Exit Leaves a Void in Season 10
DeSorbo confirmed her exit in June. “I’ve made the decision not to return to Summer House,” she shared on Instagram. “The friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable.” She added, “You’ve seen me grow up over these last seven summers. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close.”
Prior to her exit, Cooke was hopeful DeSorbo would return for season 10 so fans could see her navigate single life after the split from “Southern Charm” star Craig Conover.
“I feel like we have to do a season 10. A nice, round 10. We’re all at different stages in our lives. Paige is recently single. There’s always something interesting going on, there’s always something new,” Kyle told the Television Academy in February. “If we were standing in one place, I feel like that wouldn’t be a good show either. The fact that it has been able to evolve a little bit and follow us as we go through different stages in life, I think is kind of what people are [looking for]. They’re along for the ride.”
Imrul Hassan and Lexi Wood later revealed they wouldn’t return for season 10. Fake departure rumors also circulated before Bravo released the official cast list.
Cooke, Batula, and Hubbard will also be a part of the new “Summer House” spinoff, “In the City.”
“Summe House” season 10 premieres Tuesday, February 3 at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
