It’s been less than a week since Bravo announced that In the City would be returning for season 2, and already, rumors abound about major cast shake-ups. For the record: It has not been ~officially~ announced yet who will be on the cast of In the City season 2...but it definitely seems like fans can expect some changes. For starters: Carl Radke is reportedly in, Amanda Batula is reportedly out, and some new faces (including yet another member of Bachelor Nation) are reportedly joining the mix.
Here’s everything I know so far about the upcoming season, including what’s been reported by Bravo and what’s been rumored by fans. No official premiere date has been announced just yet, but since filming is currently underway, we can likely expect In the City season 2 to premiere shortly after Summer House season 11 finishes airing, which is expected to drop in January or February 2027. As a reminder, Summer House season 10 premiered on February 3, 2026, while In the City season 1 premiered on May 19, 2026, the same day as the Summer House season 10 finale.
As reported by Bravo and Cocktails and Deuxmoi, returning cast members reportedly include Kyle Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, Yvonne Najor, Nick Barber, Georgina Ferzli, Kenny Martin, Whitney Fransway, and Gavin Moseley. And who (reportedly) got the boot? While Deuxmoi claims that Amanda “was asked back full time and decided it didn’t feel right to come back right now,” Bravo and Cocktails reports that (per an insider who spoke to Amanda at the Kansas City Chiefs-Seattle Seahawks football game on October 25), Amanda “started filming” but claimed it felt “forced” because all the other cast members “are Kyle and Lindsay’s friends.” Yet another insider who spoke to Page Six says that the network wanted Amanda “to return for the reality show’s sophomore season in a more limited, part-time capacity” but was adamant that West Wilson would “not be included,” which is what pushed Amanda “to walk away from the opportunity altogether.” Amanda isn’t the only cast member who reportedly isn’t returning.
Per sources, Danielle Olivera and her boyfriend, Eoin Heavey, were not asked back for season 2, and though it’s not clear why, it miiight have to do with the ongoing feud between Danielle and Lindsay. Likewise, Andrea Denver and his wife, Lexi Sundin, reportedly won’t be a part of the season 2 cast (which could have something to do with the fact that they’re now based on the West Coast). As I mentioned, Carl has filmed scenes for In the City season 2, per Reality Blurb, and is reportedly coming on as a full-time cast member.
It’s also rumored that Natasha Parker (who you might remember from season 24 of The Bachelor and season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise) will be joining the crew, the connection being that she’s a friend of Lindsay and Carl...and, apparently, Gavin! Since In the City season 1 wrapped filming, a LOT has happened! For instance: Yvonne and Nick welcomed their first child in August 2026, so their journey as new parents will no doubt be a big part of the plot.
Kenny also proposed to Whitney during a trip to Italy in September 2026, so you can expect the wedding planning process to be a season 2 plot point. And of course, you can expect Lindsay and Carl’s ever-evolving relationship following their 2023 breakup to take center stage this season.
