Fans of Summer House on Bravo love the elements that make this show work well: the Montauk setting, the group of friends living in a house together, and the wild parties. There are many reality shows that focus on groups of friends but this one stands out and has been making waves.
Some reality shows teach viewers about certain subjects and others are pure fun. Anyone who has seen every episode of Summer House and who wants more light-hearted entertainment, especially since the days are getting warmer, will want to check out these reality shows that bring friendship drama and summery vibes.
Princesses Long Island: Apple TV, Google Play
Some reality shows are canceled before a full season airs and Princesses Long Island was canceled after its ten-episode first season.
The show is perfect for fans of Summer House and anyone who loves watching a group of friends deal with dating, family, friendship, the excitement of turning 30, and the pressure to get married. There are many classic reality TV elements that always work well: friends fighting, dramatic and wild parties, and the feeling that when hanging out with good friends, anything is possible.
Love Island: CBS All Access
Love Island follows cast members looking for love in a villa, and the high drama and summery setting are two elements that Summer House fans will enjoy.
The U.S. version began airing in 2019 and there have been two seasons so far, and the U.K. version has been on the air since 2015. While this show has a more intense setting than Summer House, it does feature people in close quarters with each other, which does lead to some interesting moments.
The Real Housewives Of New York City: Bravo, Apple TV
The women of The Real Housewives of New York City love going to the Hamptons for the summer. Many of them have houses there and always invite the other cast members to stay for a weekend, and these episodes always involve a lot of drinking, wondering about who will sleep where, and drama about who is going to what party. It's like the women are going on vacation, and as fans know, the trips on the Real Housewives franchise can't be missed, whether on RHONY, RHOC, or RHONJ.
Summer House fans looking for more reality shows with Hampton settings will definitely enjoy RHONY as the drama and entertainment are just as good.
Too Hot To Handle: Netflix
If reality TV fans enjoy watching people living in the same place, then Netflix's Too Hot To Handle also seems like a good suggestion. The cast is young and attractive just like that of Summer House and every episode is dramatic.
The premise of Too Hot To Handle does make it more compelling than a show about people hanging out in the summertime: the contestants can't have any physical contact with each other during filming.
Sweet Home Oklahoma: Amazon Prime Video
Fans of Summer House who want more light-hearted entertainment can check out Sweet Home Oklahoma. This Bravo show followed best friends Jennifer, Lee, and Angie as they dealt with their families, careers, and romantic lives.
The cast was quirky, as Angie let her kids drink out of sippy cups and in a hilarious and fun storyline, Lee began online dating.
Million Dollar Beach House: Netflix
Want a show about the Hamptons and real estate? Million Dollar Beach House is the perfect blend of these two things, and like Selling Sunset, viewers see what it's like to live a fabulous lifestyle and make high commissions selling houses.
With one season on Netflix so far, this show allows a look at how beautiful and lavish the Hamptons is and what kind of properties are available... as long as people have millions of dollars, of course.
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation: MTV
Anyone who loved watching Jersey Shore back in the day will definitely want to tune into Jersey Shore: Family Vacation as it's fun to watch the friends back together again.
This show is also great for fans of Summer House as it has a similar premise: a group hanging out and having a good time. In season one, the cast members went to Miami for a month and hung out. Besides all the partying, viewers also see the changes in the cast members' personal lives, such as Angelina's wedding day.
Below Deck: Bravo, Apple TV
Want another fun and light-hearted reality show to binge? Bravo's Below Deck is another one to check out.
Similar to Summer House, this show has a fun vibe and party atmosphere. The cast members work on yachts and like the gang on Summer House, they're living in the same close quarters and dealing with high amounts of drama in every single episode. There have been plenty of seasons since the show premiered in 2013 so there's a lot to catch up on.
Snooki And JWoww: MTV, Amazon Prime Video
After watching Jersey Shore, which has many wild episodes, fans can check out the spin-off starring good friends Snooki and JWoww.
Fans of Summer House love the friendships that have formed between some cast members and wonder if Hannah and Paige's friendship is intact. Anyone looking for a solid reality show about good friends will like Snooki and JWoww as it focuses on a time in their lives when many changes were happening, from marriage to motherhood.
Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons: Amazon Prime Video
Fans of both Summer House and Keeping Up With The Kardashians will enjoy this one season spin-off when the sisters opened a DASH store in the Hamptons.
This show still has all the good reality show elements that everyone is looking for, from Kourtney and Scott Disick's relationship problems to Kim dealing with friendship drama.
