## Key points

- Nominated for unstructured reality program at the 2026 Emmys.
- Nod follows a scandal-fuelled, ratings-topping tenth season.

## Summary

Bravo's reality series Summer House has received its first Emmy nomination, earning a nod in the unstructured reality program category among the 2026 nominees announced on Wednesday. The recognition follows a tenth season that saw a surge in ratings and viewer interest, driven largely by a widely discussed relationship scandal among the cast. The nomination marks a notable milestone for the show, placing it alongside other buzzy Bravo titles that have broken into the Emmy conversation in recent years.

Summer House is nominated against America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, Love on the Spectrum, RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked and Welcome to Wrexham. The season's drama centred on co-stars West Wilson and Amanda Batula confirming their romance, which was complicated by Batula's January split from husband and co-star Kyle Cooke and by her prior friendship with Ciara Miller, who had also dated Wilson. Both Wilson and Batula have since left the show, with Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke seen as most likely to return for season 11, which begins production in early July. The 78th Emmy Awards will air live on Monday, 14 September on NBC and Peacock, hosted by Mariska Hargitay.
