The Summer House universe is expanding — again! Bravo just announced an all-new edition of Summer House. The new series is Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard and the trailer promises “Black excellence,” drinking, and drama.
Us Weekly covered all of the details of the upcoming show, and the trailer checks all the boxes. There’s a humongous house, glamorous ladies, hunky guys, juicy drama, and a super cute dog. What more could we want from a non-Housewives show on Bravo?
The new Summer House spinoff follows newlyweds Jasmine Ellis Cooper and her husband, Silas Cooper. They join their friends in a gigantic house for a summer full of shenanigans. If you’re unfamiliar with Martha’s Vineyard and why Bravo would decide to set up shop there, Jasmine explains in the trailer, “If you don’t know, Black excellence is Martha’s Vineyard and Martha’s Vineyard is Black excellence.”
Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts has been a place for Black excellence for years. The press release announcing the show stated, “For more than 100 years, Black vacationers have flocked to Martha’s Vineyard, an island south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and one of the first beach destinations where African Americans could vacation and purchase property.” Now, it’s the new home to a Bravo show. The press release continued, “With beach parties, decadent dinners, and summer hookups, both fun and drama are in store for these young Black professionals and entrepreneurs.”

With such a historic past, Martha’s Vineyard might seem too pristine of a locale for a rowdy reality show like Summer House, but these new Bravolebrities seem ready to clown. The trailer shows them drinking, streaking, and doing all the wild things we want to see from our reality stars. One of the new housemates quipped in the trailer, “This is what the ancestors wanted.”
In addition to the newlyweds, Jasmine and Silas, the Martha’s Vineyard crew includes Nicholas “Nick” Arrington, Preston Mitchum, Mariah Torres, Bria Fleming, Alex Tyree, Jordan Emanuel, Shanice Henderson, Amir Lancaster, Jason Lyke, Summer Marie Thomas, and a dog named Milo. This group has been friends for years. But, the trailer teases that they’ll throw it all down the drain for reality TV. It also looks like Milo plans on pooping everywhere he’s not supposed to.
“Friendship and marriage are going to butt heads,” Jasmine remarked in the trailer, along with a few clips of several late-night confrontations. Spoiler alert: the honeymoon phase isn’t going well.
We’ve only seen a 2-minute clip, but Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard has all the makings to be Bravo’s next big hit. Let’s see what they’ve got when the new series premieres Sunday, May 7, 2023.
