What Happened in Summer House Season 2?

Elyn Cone

With some old faces and unexpected twists, the work-hard or party-harder crew is back for another summer in a brand-new weekend home in the Hamptons.

Kyle, formally dating Amanda this season on Summer House, violates the house’s cardinal rule that no couples are permitted.

Only three of the original cast members are still appearing in the series. Therefore the cast has altered significantly from the first season. Kyle’s current fiancée, Amanda Batula, did make an appearance in the first season. She was merely a guest star, though. She joined Danielle Olivera as a regular cast member of Summer House season two.
