What Can Fans Expect from Summer House Martha's Vineyard?
The trailer teases that drama runs high for this group of friends as they navigate their friendships, romantic relationships, and everything in between, which sometimes means things get emotional and tumultuous. We quickly learn in the trailer that "if you don't know, Black excellence is Martha's Vineyard and Martha's Vineyard is Black excellence."
According to the press release, "For more than 100 years, Black vacationers have flocked to Martha’s Vineyard, an island south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and one of the first beach destinations where African Americans could vacation and purchase property. Known for its natural beauty with pristine beaches, romantic sailboats, colorful gingerbread cottages, and cultural identity, this summertime sanctuary has become a favorite escape for the rich, famous, and politically connected. Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard follows a group of 12 friends as they enjoy their island getaway. With beach parties, decadent dinners, and summer hookups, both fun and drama are in store for these young Black professionals and entrepreneurs."
"In Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard, the friends have known one another for years and are excited to let loose this summer, indulging in cultural experiences and exclusive island activities while learning to overcome their personal obstacles."
