Bravo’s got a whole new summer on the horizon.
PEOPLE can exclusively debut the trailer forSummer House: Martha’s Vineyard, the newSummer Housespinoff set to premiere this May. The show takes the action from Montauk to Martha’s Vineyard, following a cast of 12 young Black professionals and entrepreneurs during their summer getaway.
Martha’s Vineyard is a location with a long history of Black vacationers, who have flocked to the island south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, for more than 100 years. In fact, as a release notes, “it was one of the first beach destinations where African Americans could vacation and purchase property.”
Now “a favorite escape for the rich, famous and politically connected,” the summertime sanctuary draws a crowd for its “natural beauty with pristine beaches, romantic sailboats, colorful gingerbread cottages and cultural identity.”
“This is what the ancestors wanted,” one star says in the clip as the cast toasts each other, though another adds, “I want to dance, I want to twerk, I want to drop it like it’s hot, I want to twerk, I want to have a drink, order a shot — rinse repeat.”

Our houseguests here —Jasmine Ellis Cooper,Silas Cooper,Amir Lancaster,Jordan Emanuel,Preston Mitchum,Bria Fleming,Alex Tyree,Shanice Henderson,Jason Lyke,Summer Marie Thomas,Nicholas “Nick” Arringtonand Mariah Torres — have known each other for years. But their long history together only makes the laughs, hookups and drama between them that much richer.
Between decadent dinners and beach parties, the cast tackles some of their own personal obstacles.
The three-minute clip finds some thirsting after one another, others arguing with one another, and one roommate — a long-haired Dachshund named Milo — moving in rent-free.
“You know what happens when you share a house,” one of the stars says, summing it all up while FaceTiming a pal. “Personalities blend or don’t.”
Here’s the official summary of what’s in store:
