Carl Radke revealed why he wasn’t asked to join In the City, and he shared how much he actually filmed. Meanwhile, Amanda Batula shared the biggest difference between In the City and Summer House.
Last year, Bravo announced that certain Summer House co-stars were filming the spinoff in Manhattan. As of now, the cast seems to be focused on Lindsay Hubbard, Amanda, and her estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, amid their divorce. Just over a week ago, Amanda and her Summer House co-star West Wilson announced their controversial romance.
On Morgan Pop Talks, Carl shared why he’s not in the cast of In the City.
“You’ll see a glimpse of me, as far as I know. I did film with them a little bit. But listen, they were really focused, it seems like, on the next chapter. [People who are] married, or you have a child, or whatever’s going on. Less single people,” he said.
“It was more of the couples and the inner dynamics of living in Manhattan. So that wasn’t necessarily where I fit in at this point,” he added. “Yes, launching a business in Brooklyn, all those things might be interesting, but who knows if there’s a season two? I would love to be a part of it. But if they don’t want me to be, I’m still going to cheer and show up for everything they asked me to. I’m so proud to be a part of this network.”
Carl said he still loves Summer House.
“And if I’m not a part of it, that’s all good,” he continued. “But I’m just proud that they’ve gotten the spin and they can continue to do it. Because … 90 percent of reality shows don’t make it past [season] one. … We’re on season 10, and then now another spinoff. It’s incredible. Like we’re so lucky.”
Speaking to Marie Claire Mag, Amanda addressed the difference between Summer House and In the City.
“It’s actually a group of existing friends … There is some familiar faces, which you guys will have to wait to find out [who],” she said. “And then a lot of new faces … and people that you guys are just going to fall in love with. But the main difference between Summer House and In the City is it’s about that next chapter in life, that next phase.”
“So Summer House is partying in the Hamptons. We’re there on the weekend. We’re getting drunk. It’s hookups. It’s a lot of singles. In the City is more relationships. It’s couples. It’s people in different phases of their life,” she said. “You have Lindsay, who’s navigating being a single mother. You have Kyle and I going through [what] we’re going through. You have people dating, people married, people in interesting relationships.”
