“Summer House” fans, get ready—there’s a new crew moving into the Hamptons this summer. As season 10 kicks off filming, Bravo is shaking things up with a fresh batch of faces, including a reality TV alum, a musician, and a few Big Apple content creators.
Four Fresh Faces Are Headed to the Hamptons For Season 10
With longtime cast member Lindsay Hubbard stepping back to focus on her newborn daughter and the confirmed exits of Paige DeSorbo, Lexi Wood, and Imrul Hassan, “Summer House” needed a serious refresh—and it looks like Bravo delivered.
According to Bravo and Cocktails, four newcomers have joined the season 10 cast: Ben Waddell, Kelly Justin “KJ” Dillard, Levi Sebree, and Bailey Taylor. Waddell is no stranger to reality TV, having previously appeared on “The Bachelor Australia” and reportedly entered the mix through returning couple Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula.
“The two boy newbies are West’s friend KJ Dillard and Kyle/Amanda’s friend Ben Waddell,” the outlet reported. “Two new girls are Levi Sebree and Bailey Taylor… the two girl newbies are close friends already.”
KJ Dillard, who just released a new EP titled “No Signal,” is also a friend of West Wilson and Jesse Solomon. Levi is a New York City-based event professional, while Bailey (who hopefully works out better than last season’s Bailey), also based in NYC, hosts the “It Girl Series” podcast and serves as a personality on BspokeTV.
Photos already show Levi filming with the cast, and KJ has been spotted out in New York with Wilson and Solomon, giving fans a clear hint that filming is underway.
West Wilson Hints at Bringing His Crew to ‘Summer House
With casting in flux after the season 9 exits, producers turned to the cast’s inner circles to help fill the gaps—and Wilson didn’t hesitate to nominate one of his own.
During an interview on the Julia Cunningham Show alongside Hubbard, Wilson teased that someone from his friend group—could he have been referring to KJ Dillard?—may be stepping into the “Summer House” spotlight. When asked if he had a “bro” he wanted to bring into the cast, Wilson replied, “Yeah, I probably tried to get in my friends before I was even on the show… I usually have a good hefty showing of like the boys showing up.”
Hubbard, never one to miss a beat, pushed further and asked him to “blink twice” if one of his guys had officially been cast. Wilson responded playfully, saying, “One of the boys, maybe.”
Wilson and Solomon became fast friends after joining in season 8, and bringing in a pal like KJ would only strengthen their dynamic. While Bravo hasn’t officially confirmed the cast, all signs point to Waddell, Dillard, Sebree, and Taylor as the newest housemates to stir up drama (and likely down some Loverboys) in the Hamptons.
