There sure is!

How does In The City connect to Summer House?

When Summer House debuted a decade ago, it was about a group of friends who escaped the city every weekend to party in a shared house in the Hamptons. At first, it was about tired professionals trying to find some kind of a social life on the weekends after working their butts off all week. However, as the cast aged and evolved, relationships and new careers began taking over the storylines. 

In The City is a chance for Summer House fans to see how these personalities live throughout the work week and fall weekends at home. It's about growing up and finding yourself, all while figuring out who should be in your inner circle and who doesn't really have your back. 

Which Summer House cast members are involved?

According to Bravo, the cast for Season 1 of In The City includes Lindsay Hubbard, Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula, Danielle Olivera, Eoin Heavey, Andrea Denver, Lexi Sundin, Nick Barber, Yvonne Najor, Georgina Ferzil, Whitney Fransway, Kenny Martin, Gavin Moseley, and Katie Arundel.

What can we expect from In The City's first season?

In The City began filming immediately where Summer House Season 10 left off, which means the cameras are following the cast during some of their biggest life moments to-date. We're talking parenthood, separation, marriage, and new careers.

Will In The City address Kyle and Amanda's separation?

In The City definitely addresses Kyle and Amada's separation, and it will also cover "Scamanda," aka Amanda's new relationship with Summer House co-star West Wilson. Many fans see that new romance as a betrayal of their mutual friend (and West's ex), Ciara Miller. In fact, In The City had to film new scenes after news of the relationship broke to address the divide. (And let's be honest, it's what the fans want to see more of!)

Why is 'Scamanda' a big deal?

During the latest season of Summer House, Kyle and Amanda were still married, although, as usual, their relationship was full of ups and downs. However, this time around the editing captured a new side of West and Amanda's friendship, especially during the times he came to Amanda's defense during a fight. That edit has made fans wonder whether things started brewing between the pair earlier than they admitted. 

Meanwhile, West and Ciara finally mended their friendship and became flirty again, after breaking up two years ago when Ciara found out from the media that West wasn't ready for a relationship. The pair had finally resolved to be friends again, with everyone in the house speculating whether they'd get back together. 

Summer House wrapped filming before Amanda announced her separation from Kyle or her new relationship, but both will be addressed in the Summer House reunion and during In The City. 

Is Summer House ending?

Summer House's future is undetermined, but Season 10 is definitely the end of an era. Original member Carl Radke has said this current season will probably be the last time the core group is together, and even now, Lindsay Hubbard's screen time has been linimted with her being a new mom. Add in Amanda and Kyle's separation, not to mention Ciara's feelings of betrayal, and it seems likely that if Summer House continues, it will be with a new group of friends.
