“Summer House” just landed its first Emmy nomination, and the show’s three remaining OGs are celebrating the milestone.
The Bravo series received a nomination in the unstructured reality program category following a headline-making season 10. While the cast members are not individually named in the nomination, Kyle Cooke, Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard told The Hollywood Reporter they are thrilled for the producers and crew who work behind the scenes.
Hubbard admitted she could barely contain her excitement after learning the news.
“I am just beside myself. I cannot stop screaming and texting people. I’m so excited. I have goosebumps and chills,” Lindsay said. “I’m so happy for our entire team at ‘Summer House,’ from top to bottom. This is such a huge accomplishment for everyone.”
Kyle Cooke Calls the ‘Summer House’ Emmy Nomination ‘Bittersweet’
Cooke admitted the recognition comes with mixed emotions after an intensely personal season.
Season 10 followed the end of Kyle’s marriage to Amanda Batula and the fallout surrounding her relationship with West Wilson. The romance became even more complicated because West previously dated their co-star Ciara Miller, who had been close with Amanda.
Still, Kyle said the show’s first Emmy nomination gives him another reason to celebrate the season.
“It’s a little surreal. You grow up hearing about the Emmys, the Oscars, these award shows that just feel so prestigious,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
Kyle acknowledged the complicated nature of receiving the nomination after such a difficult year.
“Sure, this season was bittersweet, but it’s things like this that make it on the sweet side,” he said. “Hey, I’ve always been proud of our show, and this makes me extremely proud.”
The Loverboy founder also credited the full team responsible for making the series.
“I feel like this is just a testament to everybody putting in so much hard work, so many different people,” Kyle said.
Carl Radke Says the Emmy Nomination Belongs to the Crew
Radke also made it clear that he believes the people behind the cameras deserve the recognition.
“It’s amazing, surreal,” Carl told The Hollywood Reporter. “I think it’s a testament to Bravo and our fans and the audience that has been supporting us for these last 10 seasons, and also our producers and the crew.”
Carl said the nomination recognizes the people who have sacrificed their own time to document the cast’s lives every summer.
“This is, honestly, the award for everybody but the cast,” he continued. “There’s amazing people that work on our show that give up their weekends, give up a lot of their lives to make Summer House what it is.”
“I think this is the nomination for all the people that work on Summer House, and all the people that have made our show happen behind the scenes,” Carl added.
