“The Hamptons: the summer playground of the rich and famous,” Avery SolomonThe official trailer was released in June. “Sun, surf and good vibes. I’m what you call a ‘local,’ and this is my crew.”
She teased: “S—t is about to get real. … Things definitely are messy in our Hamptons.”
The “coming-of-age docusoap” features a diverse cast, some of whom grew up in the Hamptons and others who call Manhattan home. They all work at a beachside restaurant, regardless of whether they are fresh out from college or still in the process of completing their degrees.
“By night, they are tearing up the town, testing friendships and exploring love during the hottest days of the year,” the network said in a June press release. “This group and their friends are chasing the perfect summer at a pivotal time in their lives, when carefree adolescence is about to end. Come September, the stakes and responsibilities will be high, but the summer is theirs for the taking.”
