The ninth season of Summer House has come to a close, leaving fans buzzing with speculation about the show’s future. With key cast members like Paige DeSorbo and Lexi Woods announcing their departures, whispers of a potential cast overhaul have grown louder. However, the season finale, which showcased a heartwarming moment between Paige DeSorbo, Amanda Batula, and Lindsay Hubbard meeting Lindsay’s newborn daughter, Gemma, has sparked a new wave of excitement: could a Summer House spinoff centered on the women be in the works?
A Finale That Felt Like a Pilot
The Season 9 finale had a distinct Sex and the City vibe, with Amanda and Paige visiting Lindsay at her NYC apartment to meet baby Gemma. This scene, filled with laughter and heartfelt moments, left fans clamoring for more of this friendship-driven dynamic. Social media has been abuzz with calls for a spinoff focusing on the ladies of the Hamptons, and it seems the cast might just be listening.
In a June interview with Us Weekly, Lindsay Hubbard teased the possibility of a spinoff, saying, “I think fans are onto something,” with a playful wink at the camera. Her cryptic comment has only fueled speculation that Bravo might be cooking up something new for the Summer House universe.
Paige DeSorbo’s Exit and TV Future
Paige DeSorbo, a fan favorite after five seasons on Summer House, shocked viewers when she announced her departure, humorously stating she was done “bed rotting” with her girls. However, she hinted that her reality TV days are far from over. In an interview with Parade, Paige shared, “I love attention, so I love being on TV. I’m very open to all possibilities of TV stuff.” She even suggested that fans might hear about a spinoff before she does, noting, “If there were to be a spinoff, you guys would literally find out before me.”
Paige’s best friend, Amanda Batula, wasn’t entirely surprised by her exit. In a conversation with The Post, Amanda revealed that Paige had struggled during Season 9, particularly with her anxiety and the emotional fallout from her breakup with Southern Charm star Craig Conover. “She was really struggling, and I think it’s the best decision for her,” Amanda said, though she added, “I’m calling it taking a summer off. I’d like to think she’s not done with TV.”
Lindsay also weighed in on Paige’s exit, suggesting to Us Weekly that Paige might not be gone for good. “I don’t think she’s gonna be gone forever. I don’t think we can fully let her go,” she said, hinting at possible guest appearances in Season 10.
Lindsay Hubbard’s New Chapter as a Mom
Lindsay Hubbard, now a new mom to baby Gemma, has also confirmed she won’t return as a full-time cast member for Season 10. Citing her responsibilities as a mother, she told Us Weekly, “I’m not gonna be sleeping at the summer house every single weekend. But I am probably gonna visit and pop by, and I’ll be in the Hamptons.” Lindsay emphasized that her life as a New Yorker and a mom will still include Hamptons trips, just in a different capacity. “That’s what normal people do in New York City—we have kids, and we still go to the Hamptons, but it just looks a little different,” she explained.
A Surprising Friendship Blossoms
One of the most unexpected developments in Season 9 was the newfound friendship between Lindsay and Paige. The two didn’t always see eye to eye, with Paige forming a tight trio with Amanda Batula and Ciara Miller, while Lindsay’s dynamic with the group was often tense. However, Lindsay’s pregnancy brought the women closer together. Paige shared with Us Weekly that watching Lindsay’s journey was a bonding experience for the group. “Gemma is the first baby I’ve ever felt kick in someone’s stomach. I immediately started crying,” Paige recalled. “I think [Lindsay’s pregnancy] just brought the girls so much closer together because we were like, ‘Our friend is about to do the most incredible thing a woman can do, and we can’t wait to support her.’”
This shift was evident in moments like their shared drive to the Hamptons, signaling a fresh start for their relationship. With Gabby Prescod joining the group after Danielle Olivera’s departure, the women’s dynamic feels more balanced and ripe for exploration in a potential spinoff.
What’s Next for the Summer House Ladies?
While Lexi Woods, a one-season star, has also confirmed she won’t return, the focus remains on the core group of women and their evolving friendships. Amanda, reflecting on Paige’s exit, expressed confidence that her friend’s TV career is far from over. Meanwhile, Paige has been busy with her sold-out pajama line, Daphne, named after her cat, proving she’s thriving post-Summer House.
As fans eagerly await news of a possible spinoff, the chemistry between Lindsay, Paige, Amanda, and the rest of the women has never been stronger. Whether it’s a full-fledged series or a few guest appearances, one thing is clear: the Summer House ladies aren’t done sharing their lives with us just yet.
