Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke clash over West Wilson romance in 'In the City' premiere

The reality‑TV spinoff "In the City," streaming on Peacock from May 20, follows former "Summer House" stars Amanda Batula, Kyle Cooke and Lindsay Hubbard as they adjust to life in Manhattan. The series debut opens with a tense exchange between ex‑husband Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula after rumors surfaced that Batula had entered an “emotional affair” with West Wilson, a content‑creator and friend of the couple.

Batula and Cooke announced their separation in January after four years of marriage, a split that was highlighted in the season‑10 finale of "Summer House." In late March, Batula publicly confirmed a new relationship with Wilson, sparking online speculation and criticism. The premiere shows Cooke confronting Batula about the alleged involvement with Wilson, reflecting the ongoing personal drama that the show’s audience has been following.

The episode also introduces other cast members, including former "Summer House" personalities and newcomer venture capitalist Kenny Martin, but the central focus remains the fallout from Batula’s reported romance with Wilson and the resulting tension between the former spouses.
