'Summer House' Reunion Won't Be the End-West and Amanda's Romance Bleeds Into 'In the City' Drama
Summer House spinoff In the City won't leave fans hanging after news broke that West Wilson and Amanda Batula are in a romantic relationship.
"In the City, which launches in a couple of weeks - you'll see in the first episode we have a new scene that we shot with a couple of the cast members," Frances Berwick, NBCUniversal's Chairman, Bravo & Peacock Unscripted, told The Ankler. "So, we did pick it up there, but we just didn't feel like that was the right thing to do on Summer House."
Months after Summer House filming concluded, West and Amanda announced they were together. This is after West and Ciara Miller were seemingly trying to mend their friendship and possibly start dating, while Amanda and Kyle Cooke's marriage was in serious trouble.
In the City is essentially a continuation of Summer House, following a handful of cast members as they navigate life and love back in New York City that fall. The most explosive storyline previously teased was the dissolution of Kyle and Amanda's marriage, something viewers are currently seeing play out on Summer House. The couple, who had been married for four years, announced their separation in January.
News broke in March that Amanda was dating West, throwing a wrench in the original story. But Berwick said producers wanted to "take a beat before we covered that. And that was obviously in the reunion last week; as everyone now knows, we taped the reunion last week."
Vanderpump Rules picked up cameras amid Scandoval when it was revealed that Tom Sandoval cheated on longtime girlfriendAriana Madix with mutual friend Raquel Leviss. The series was already complete, but producers filmed an additional episode to address the explosive drama, which aired before the reunion.
In this case, Summer House will play out and conclude with the reunion, which will be filled with questions about West and Amanda's romance. Now, In the City will also address that storyline.
In the City premieres on Tuesday, May 19, at 9 p.m. ET, after the Summer House Season 10 finale airs.
