Bravo’s “Summer House” Spin-Off “Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard” is finally here and the cast is speaking out about how the show got it’s start!
Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard follows 12 friends from across the country, reuniting for a two-week getaway in the coastal community, historically a travel destination for Black Americans. Newlyweds Jasmine Ellis and Silas Cooper organized the retreat.
The couple has no clue the show would be apart of the Summer House franchise. Per ET.
They shared:
“We had no idea,” Jasmine told ET.
“We knew that we had gone for a couple of years with our friends, same setup with the friends in a house, and they kind of wanted to redo that with us. So after filming, it was just like, ‘OK, cool, we’re doing what we did last year and the year before.
I’ve been going for seven years, Jasmine’s been going for three years, it felt really natural,” Silas says of inviting cameras into their summer share. “And when we were done, we’re like, wow! That was a lot, right? We were like, that was a lot more than we anticipated, but we knew that we had a good time.”
The two found out after filming that they would be apart of the franchise.
“I’m like this actually makes a lot of sense,” Silas shares. “We’re like, look, this is obviously a successful franchise, to set up, that they have. You know, this is something that they believe in, and so for us to be sort of the next iteration of that? It says a lot about how they feel about us.”
“It’s like Degrassi: The Next Chapter,”!
