Summer can’t last forever.

On Wednesday, Jan. 28, the cast of Summer House gathered at 92NY in New York City to celebrate the Bravo reality show’s upcoming 10th season. During the first half of the conversation, “OG” cast members Carl Radke, Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula, Lindsay Hubbard, Jesse Solomon and West Wilson took the stage before later being joined by their new costars, who include Dara Levita, Mia Calabrese, KJ Dillard and Ben Waddell.

Radke, 41, took a moment to reflect on season 10 potentially being the “last time” that the original cast members are together.

“It was emotional,” he said of filming the newest season. “It was exciting, but I felt like this might be the last time that the core group might be together.”

“So it was like time to let it all hang out and really give it your best,” added Radke, who — along with Cooke and Hubbard — has starred in Summer House since its premiere in 2017. Batula joined as a main cast member in season 2, and Solomon and West joined in season 8.

As for his personal mindset heading into the new season, Radke added, “I was excited to come into season 10 ’cause I just felt like I was feeling good in my own skin, I was feeling confident and I love hanging out with these guys. So, feeling good.”

Radke also addressed his potential romance with fellow Bravolebrity Venita Aspen. He shared an update on what’s going on between himself and the Southern Charm star, 32, since they went on a date together in mid-November. 

“We’ve been talking. It’s been… we’ve had fun,” he said, before sharing details about their first date.

“She came to Soft Bar [Radke’s non-alcoholic bar in Brooklyn, N.Y.],” he continued. “We went to a restaurant in Brooklyn. Had a really nice time. And there’s a lot to talk about between two shows that have been going back and forth.”

He said the pair saw each other again in December in London. Now, Radke is trying to “take my time” getting to know Aspen, whom he described as “awesome” and “really sweet.”

“I got a lot going on. So, you know, she lives in Charleston, [I’m] in New York City, so we’ve all seen how that goes,” he added, seemingly referencing the split between his former Summer House costar Paige DeSorbo and Aspen’s costar Craig Conover.

Radke’s comments about a potential end to his time on Summer House come months after Bravo announced a new Summer House spinoff is in the works.

“In the city that never sleeps, a group of New Yorkers navigates the biggest transitions of their lives — marriage, parenthood, reinvention and the reality of growing up without growing apart,” reads a longline for the show, which has the working title In the City. “Can they have it all, or will they need to choose between the lives they’ve built and the futures they never saw coming?”

Bravo confirmed in November that Cooke, Batula and Hubbard are set to star in the spinoff, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Summer House season 10 premieres Feb. 3 on Bravo.
