Summer is about to be a whole lot more fun! On Thursday Bravo announced the newest show joining their roster – Summer House Martha’s Vineyard.
This Summer House spinoff show takes Bravo fans to another iconic Summer vacation destination. Summer House MV will follow 12 young black professionals as live their best summer lives on the picturesque island paradise off the coast of Massachusetts.
Martha’s Vineyard is known as “a favorite escape for the rich, famous and politically connected,” thanks to its “natural beauty with pristine beaches, romantic sailboats, colorful gingerbread cottages and cultural identity.”
However, there’s probably a lot about the history of Martha’s Vineyard that Bravo fans don’t know.
For over 100 years, Martha’s Vineyard has been a summer sanctuary for black vacationers. Martha’s Vineyard “was one of the first beach destinations where African Americans could vacation and purchase property,” PEOPLE reports.
“This is what the ancestors wanted,” one Summer House MV star says in the trailer while another star 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.”
Summer House MV stars Jasmine Ellis Cooper, Silas Cooper, Amir Lancaster, Jordan Emanuel, Preston Mitchum, Bria Fleming, Alex Tyree, Shanice Henderson, Jason Lyke, Summer Marie Thomas, Nicholas “Nick” Arrington, and Mariah Torres, who have all been friends for years.
Naturally their long history makes for quite a bit of drama. Expect a season full of hookups, laughs, and antics in between beach parties and fabulous dinners.

Season one of Summer House Martha’s Vineyard premieres on Sunday, May 7 at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
