Everything You Need to Know About Southern Hospitality Season 3: Cast Changes and Updates

Southern Hospitality Season 3: All the Details You Need to Know

Southern Hospitality took viewers by storm when it hit the screens in 2022, showcasing the wild world of Leva Bonaparte’s restaurant staff. The reality series revolves around the lively team at Leva’s Republic Bar and Lounge, which stands out among her culinary ventures in Charleston. The interactions of her employees, including DJ and VIP Manager Maddi Reese and fellow VIP Manager Joe Bradley, form the core of the show’s intrigue.

During season 2, tensions flared, with Maddi expressing feelings of mistrust toward her co-workers as they navigated personal and professional conflicts. In an exclusive statement to Us Weekly, Maddi reflected on her challenges during that season, revealing a sense of betrayal among the group. Fortunately, by the time the reunion aired in February 2024, the cast members appeared to have reconciled, at least on the surface.

The drama included a heated reunion where Joe faced accusations of a romantic involvement with Luann de Lesseps from the Real Housewives of New York City, after they seemed flirty during an episode of Watch What Happens Live. Joe denied the claims, insisting that their interaction was nothing more than friendly.

Meanwhile, the fallout between Maddi and Bradley was evident as they both acknowledged their broken friendship, accusing one another of sabotaging their relationships. Emmy Sharrett, another cast member, defended herself against accusations of disloyalty after receiving a work promotion at Republic Garden & Lounge.

One of the more explosive moments involved Mia Alario, who was terminated from her position and sought to mend her relationship with Leva, ultimately leading to a truce. Emmy also expressed frustration with Joe, highlighting a lack of support during her quest for a promotion.

Looking ahead, Bravo confirmed in May 2024 that Southern Hospitality was renewed for a third season, adding to an already impressive lineup for the 2024-2025 television season. Fans are buzzing with excitement to learn what happens next for the ensemble cast.

As for returning cast members, while not officially announced, speculation suggests that Leva, Mia, Joe, Bradley, TJ, Will, Maddi, Emmy, and Grace Lilly will all reprise their roles. However, Lucía Peña, who was terminated earlier in season 2, is not expected to return, alongside others with uncertain futures in the series.

New faces are rumored to join the mix, including Molly Moore, Lake Rucker, and Michols Peña, all of whom have been spotted socializing with the main cast. Molly, an event planner at Republic, along with Michols and Lake, who work at the nightclub, promise to add fresh dynamics to the upcoming season.

As for a premiere date, Bravo has yet to unveil when the new season will kick off, leaving fans in eager anticipation. Stay tuned for more updates as Southern Hospitality gears up for a thrilling third season.
