Summer House producers are “exploring new options” ahead of the series’ upcoming 11th season.

As Amanda Batula, 34, and West Wilson’s romance scandal continues to rock the cast, a couple of new reports have been shared in regard to the future of the show, which could be split into two, Ciara Miller‘s potential role on the new episodes, and the cast’s feelings about today’s taping of their season 10 reunion.

“The next season of Summer House will not be in the original house,” a source told Us Weekly on April 22. “The producers are exploring new options … [and have] talked about a different location, making it a spinoff show and possibly a new cast.”

“Original cast members like [Kyle Cooke], Amanda and [Lindsay Hubbard] will be focusing on the In the City show moving forward,” the insider explained of the upcoming spinoff, which filmed prior to Kyle, 43, and Amanda’s separation news in January.

As for Ciara, 30, the source claimed her Bravo future was up in the air.

“It is unclear whether Ciara will return to Summer House in any capacity,” the insider admitted. “She has to make a decision and has discussed exiting and focusing on other projects (like former co-star and close friend Paige DeSorbo).”

According to a second report, the cast of Summer House isn’t convinced that they will be getting the full truth from Amanda and West, 31, in regard to their relationship and timeline at the reunion.

“The cast is more than ready for the reunion to be over at this point, and the general vibe is a mix of frustration and curiosity,” a source told Us Weekly on April 22. “The common consensus is that they’re not convinced they will get the full truth from Amanda and West, no matter how many times the questions are asked.”

They feel like “parts of the story are still being held back or carefully spun,” the insider noted. “[And this has] only made tensions worse behind the scenes [since the cast] wants real and straightforward answers.”

As the reunion went into production on Thursday, Bravo released the taping’s seating chart, which saw Amanda to Andy Cohen‘s left and Ciara to his right.

Also on the left of Andy, 57, and seated beside Amanda was West, followed by Carl Radke, 41, Jesse Solomon, 32, KJ Dillard, 28, Dara Levitan, 33, and Levi Sebree, 29. Meanwhile, on the right, next to Ciara, were Kyle, Lindsay, 39, Mia Calabrese, 34, Bailey Taylor, 30, and Ben Waddell, 38.
