Southern Hospitality Season 1: Release Date, Cast, And More Information
Since there were rumors of "Southern Charm" star Leva Bonaparte getting her own spinoff show, fans have been waiting to hear more about it. In May, Bravo confirmed the news when the network announced its lineup of returning shows, as well as new ones, and "Southern Charm: Leva Land" was on the list.
Bonaparte was a long-time "friend" of Cameran Eubanks in "Southern Charm" and became a full-time cast member in Season 7, per Distractify. The reality star is no stranger to Charleston and together with her husband Lamar Bonaparte, they own several restaurants and bars on the happening King Street. Bonaparte's spinoff show will focus on their hot spot, Republic Garden & Lounge, and follow the lives of the young staff members that work there.
Bonaparte debuted her show's trailer at BravoCon 2022 and revealed that the official name was "Southern Hospitality." From what was shown so far, it promises to be drama-filled and won't disappoint viewers. Here's everything to know about the hot upcoming new show.
All the details about Southern Hospitality
The trailer for "Southern Hospitality" already promises a lot of sizzling moments, with staff members hooking up and going wild during parties. "We're all sluts. We like to f***. What's wrong with that?" one cast member is seen yelling at another. In another scene, a man tells the camera that he is "living two lives" and that his family members don't know that he likes men. Of course, like any good boss, Leva Bonaparte is seen scolding her club staff while dealing with the many dramatic personalities.
Per Bravo, "Southern Hospitality" is set to premiere on Monday, November 28. The cast is a bunch of gorgeous young people and includes Maddi Reese, Mikel Simmons, Grace Lilly, Joe Bradley, Lucía Peña, Mia Alario, Will Kulp, Emmy Sherrel, TJ Dinch, and Bradley Carter. According to their bios, viewers can expect to see a rift between Bradley and his co-workers Simmons, Dinch, and Carter. Alario's outspoken nature causes friction with her castmates, while Dinch tries to run Lilly and Simmons out of Republic. The show's only couple, Kulp and Sherrel, has their relationship tested when a rumor about Sherrel and another co-worker comes out. With so many different personalities working together, there is bound to be much drama in "Southern Hospitality" and viewers can't wait to grab their popcorn and dig in.
Expect to see Southern Charm cast members pop up
Fans will be excited to know that their favorite "Southern Charm" cast members will make appearances on "Southern Hospitality." In the trailer shared by Leva Bonaparte on her Instagram page, Kathryn Dennis is shown walking the streets of Charleston wearing a glitzy gold dress. Later, Craig Conover tells Bonaparte at Republic, "We've had some memories here." The restaurateur tells Conover, "We all grew up here!" Shep Rose also shows up to party with his friends, and "Southern Charm" matriarch Patricia Altschul tells a waitress she wants "one of everything" when asked what she would like to drink.
While Lamar Bonaparte is the executive producer of "Southern Hospitality," along with his wife, it's unclear if he will star in the show. Lamar made an appearance in "Southern Charm" Season 7 but was notably absent from Season 8. According to Bravo, he likes to lead a private life and is not active on social media. Still, he remains a powerhouse behind the scenes, and "Southern Hospitality" is sure to be a big hit.
