They're back! Bravo Media’s favorite Georgia Peaches return juicer than ever. With the fostering of new friendships and attempts to rebuild old ones, back this season is Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, NeNe Leakes, Kenya Moore, and Phaedra Parks, who are joined by media maven Claudia Jordan. Also returning in a recurring role this season is Porsha Williams and newcomer Demetria McKinney.
Fresh off performing in Las Vegas as Cirque du Soleil's mistress of ceremonies in Zumanity, NeNe has recently launched her own clothing line and will be heading to the Broadway stage in New York City to star in Cinderella. Recently married, Kandi attempts to build her expanded family with Todd, but faces unexpected road blocks along the way. Meanwhile, Kenya focuses on her producing career and can’t shake the thoughts that a baby is what is missing most from her life. Always on the go, Cynthia is now stronger than ever both on the health front as well as with her marriage; the only thing missing is not having former BFF NeNe by her side. With Apollo facing years of incarceration, Phaedra shows incredible resilience while raising two young boys on her own and maintaining her successful career. Claudia Jordan is a TV and radio host who recently moved to Atlanta from Los Angeles. Working as co-host on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, Claudia loves the social scene Atlanta has to offer and is good friends with Kenya Moore who enjoys having such a fun friend around.

Cynthia is still a successful and in high demand model. With The Bailey Agency School of Fashion dominating many hours of her day, she continues to seek out and inspire Atlanta’s most promising talent. After pushing through her health scare with fibroids, Cynthia is healthier than ever and her relationship with Peter remains strong…especially in the bedroom. As thriving entrepreneurs, they are faced with the daily struggle to maintain a balance between work, their relationship and family. Although Peter’s venture, Bar One, is soon to relocate, he is pursuing opening a sports bar in Charlotte with business partner, Kordell Stewart.
After their recent wedding, Todd’s daughter, Kaela, moved to Atlanta, making Kandi an instant-step mom. Kandi is faced with juggling her newly blended family and busy life as a hard-working career woman. Kandi will continue to build her media empire this season, while also adjusting to Todd being on the opposite coast as he produces his latest show in Los Angeles. Will Kandi be able to succeed with adding a new addition to the family?
This season Kenya looks to grow her production company, Moore Vision Media, as well as launch a new business venture, Moore Hair Care. Newly single and a hopeless romantic, Kenya is determined to find Mr. Right and can’t shake the thought that a baby is missing from her life. She is relentless in her pursuit of happiness and is laser focused on having it all…but on her own terms.
She recently earned her Mortuary Science degree, successfully launched her first two fitness videos titled PHINE BODY, and continues to speak with audiences across the country about her book, Secrets of a Southern Belle. Phaedra is now tasked with adjusting to life as a single mother this season, caring for her children and maintaining a successful career due to Apollo’s recent incarceration. As always, Phaedra is determined to thrive despite any obstacles thrown her way.
Even though her acting career keeps her busy, Demetria always makes time for her first love -- music. She recently released her first EP "Officially Yours" to rave reviews. Demetria has been dating TV executive Roger Bobb for several years and would love to take their relationship to the next level. Balancing her career and relationship while raising a son as a single mother hasn’t always been easy, but Demetria strongly believes family comes first.
Porsha is currently embracing a new chapter in her life this season as she learns to date again while on a journey to find her new "self." Porsha is thriving in her career working as an entertainment news contributor with Ricky Smiley on Dish Nation. Surrounded by supportive friends and family, she is focused on taking her love for performing to the next level and hopes to be signed to a big record label. In addition, she plans to launch new business ventures with "Go Naked Hair" and an upcoming lingerie line, as well as remaining heavily involved in her various charity partnerships.
