As filming for Season 10 of Bravo’s beloved reality series ‘Summer House’ approaches, fans are left wondering about potential changes to the cast. A major suggestion has emerged from Amanda Batula, who played a significant role in the series since its inception.
In a recent interview with Parade, Batula expressed her enthusiasm for a possible casting addition that has many ‘Vanderpump Rules’ followers abuzz: Tom Schwartz. Known for his appearances on ‘Vanderpump Rules,’ Schwartz has made several guest spots on ‘Summer House’ over the last nine seasons and is reportedly friends with many of the core cast.

“People were loving Tom Schwartz coming to the house,” Batula remarked. “I mean, he was great. We did ‘Winter House’ with him… he just really seamlessly fits in, and I think he really enjoyed himself.” With a charming personality and comedic flair, Schwartz’s inclusion could add a fresh dynamic to the existing cast.
Currently not tied to any TV series following the reboot of ‘Vanderpump Rules’ which introduced an entirely new ensemble, Schwartz’s status leaves room for speculation about where he fits in the reality TV landscape. His time in ‘Summer House’ was marked with reflections on the camaraderie he experiences there, contrasting sharply with his previous cast’s turmoil. In one poignant scene, he told cast members Paige DeSorbo and Ciara Miller, “You’ve got to cherish this, it’s very sacred,” referring to the close-knit atmosphere of ‘Summer House.’ This sentiment showcases the stark differences he has experienced in his past reality show life.
Besides welcoming Schwartz, Batula hints at another shift she believes the show could benefit from: infusing younger cast members into the mix. In an interview with Teen Vogue, she shared, “It’s fun having younger people in the house… it keeps me young and in the know. But I think that there’s a world where people need to, like, graduate out.” She emphasizes the importance of seasonal progression, not just in age but in evolving dynamics with a fresh influx of younger personalities.
