Amanda Batula will not return for ‘In the City’ season two
Amanda Batula will not return for season two of Bravo’s In the City, a reality show she joined as a main cast member in its first season.
The news comes months after it was announced that she would also leave Summer House before its 11th season.
The reasons for her In the City exit are unclear: accounts say she wanted her partner, West Wilson, involved, while another says the network would not meet her salary request.
Season two has been renewed and filming has begun, but its full cast has not been announced.
Reports say Danielle Olivera and Eoin Heavey, and Andrea Denver and Lexi Sundin, will also not return.
Two new couples and one single cast member are expected to join the show.
The changes matter because In the City follows a group of friends, and the cast is being reshaped for its next season.
Amanda Batula has exited Bravo’s “In the City” ahead of its second season.
Batula was a main cast member in the spinoff’s first season.
Sources offered differing accounts of why she left, citing her request to include boyfriend West Wilson or a salary disagreement.
A second source told Page Six it was not the right time for Batula or Wilson to appear on the show.
The second season is filming with two new couples and one single newcomer, according to Page Six.

I do think if you’re doing a show about a friend group, they do still need to be friends to an extent. So if there’s a world in which Amanda made sense with that cast — sure, that’s a possibility
