Scandals and sandals: ‘Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard’ returns for steamy sophomore season
Following a chaotic, nonstop year of hard work (both in their personal and professional lives), Jasmine and the crew return for another summer by the beach, as “Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard” returns for a second season, Sunday, March 24, on Bravo.
“After introducing viewers to her group of business-minded friends, Jasmine Ellis Cooper and the ‘Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard’ housemates are back in Massachusetts for another summer of fun (which will be sprinkled in with a healthy dose of drama, of course),” Bravo reports.
During this sophomore season, Jasmine will be joined by plenty of returning friends from last season — namely, Nicholas “Nick” Arrington, Jordan Emanuel, Bria Fleming, Shanice Henderson, Amir Lancaster, Preston Mitchum, Summer Marie Thomas and Alex Tyree — but will also be welcoming the addition of newcomer Noelle Hughley.
Noelle, an Atlanta resident and friend to many of the “Vineyard” girls, was quoted as saying she is “thrilled that her friend, Summer, invited her to vacation in Martha’s Vineyard,” and, according to Bravo, she is “single and ready to mingle,” catching the eye of the ever-flirty Alex … that is, alongside her close friend, Summer.
“Nothing’s off the table when it comes to summer,” Alex pun-fully teases, hinting at rising temperatures and hot-and-heavy moments during the season’s trailer.
Meanwhile, Bravo hints that Amir is in a new romance (and that his new girlfriend will be paying a visit to the house), while Nick struggles with a complicated relationship of his own.
With romances in the air and relationships in limbo, eagle-eyed fans might be wondering why host Jasmine’s husband — Silas Cooper, heavily featured in “Martha’s Vineyard’s” first season — will not be appearing during this second summer. Fear not: Bravo has confirmed that Silas was unable to attend filming as he was serving in the Army overseas. The couple remain together and are reportedly expecting their first child together.
That being said, there is still plenty of drama to be had. The network promises that, “After spending the fall and winter apart, the housemates are ready to get back in the summer mood on ‘SHMV’ Season 2, ... [banding] together to escape their worries, discover the beauty of this exclusive enclave, and have an epic summer, it becomes clear that some of their friendships are fractured while others are in full bloom.”
