On Tuesday, April 7, Bravo released a sneak peek of the “Summer House” spinoff, “In the City,” which sees returning stars Lindsay Hubbard, Kyle Cooke, and Amanda Batula, along with a whole new batch of castmates navigating careers, relationships, and friendships in New York City.
Fans were likely surprised to see Carl Radke missing from the new spinoff. Like Hubbard, Cooke, and Batula, Radke was an original cast member on “Summer House.” Viewers would have really enjoyed seeing him working at his Brooklyn hot spot, Soft Bar, and possibly even exploring a new chapter in his love life.
Carl Radke Shares The Reason Why Fans Won’t See His Journey on ‘In the City’
GettyIn January, “Summer House” star Carl Radke sat down with Morgan Paige for her “Morgan Pop Talks” podcast, where he explained why he was not asked to join the main cast of “In the City.”
“Listen, they were really focused, it seemed like on the next chapter. You’re married, a child, you know, whatever’s going on, and less single people,” Radke began.
He continued, “That wasn’t necessarily where I fit in at that point. 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.”
The reality star shared that even if he doesn’t appear on a second season, he will still be rooting for his castmates and real-life friends.
“I’m so proud to be a part of this network, I love ‘Summer House,’ I love my group of friends,” he said, adding, “I’ve been very lucky to be a part of a group that brings it.”
Despite not reuniting with his castmates for “In the City,” Radke admitted that he still had another season of “Summer House” in him.
