Kyle Cooke Clarifies Summer House After Season 10 Finale

Following the Season 10 finale of Bravo’s *Summer House*, Kyle Cooke posted an emotional Instagram reflection that many took as a goodbye. He later edited the caption to deny any departure and affirm the series will continue.

*Summer House* started filming in 2016 and has aired ten seasons, each usually beginning production around July 4. The show’s on-screen family, noted by Cooke, was tested by a scandal: cast member Westling Wilson began a relationship with Cooke’s estranged wife, Amanda Batula, prompting reports that Wilson will not return for Season 11. The Season 10 finale aired in June 2026, and Season 11 filming is set for early July 2026.

Cooke’s edited caption emphasized that *Summer House* is not cancelled and he does not plan to leave. He said his emotion reflects the long-term bonds on set and that the final filming day felt unlike prior seasons. Bravo has not issued a comment.

Social-media users initially read Cooke’s nostalgic post as a sign of his exit, sparking speculation about the show’s future. The Wilson-Batula scandal heightened uncertainty, and reports confirm Wilson will miss the upcoming season.
