Southern Hospitality fans can start the new year off right. The hit Southern Charm spinoff is back for Season 3. All the King Street drama is back, with new faces and old conflicts resurfacing. Here’s what to expect.
Bradley Carter and TJ Dinch are returning cast members, and they both hyped up the new season during a recent interview. Both Bravolebrities discussed their new business ventures on screen and “growth” within the cast.
Bradley Carter teased “something unique” this season
Bradley teased a very “raw and real” viewing experience to TV Insider. The personal trainer and wellness coach also called the season “explosive.” The cast will be in their element at work. There will also be a cast trip to Las Vegas.
“You don’t know what’s coming next. You’re going to see things happen in real-time,” he added.
Southern Hospitality fans can expect the winning formula of flirty friendships and great parties. Joe Bradley and Maddi Reese decide to be more than friends. New cast members Lake Rucker and Nichols Pena pique the interest of a few of their new costars. It’s a specific dating pool.
“Working through those relationships was something unique,” Bradley explained. “The reason that food and dating someone in the same industry or at the same job works so well for us because in food and bev it is such an opposite schedule, right? So Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we’re behind the bar or at the club where other people are out meeting others. And instead of that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday situation, we don’t have that. It’s easy and natural for us to gravitate towards people that are also in the same space as us. And I think you’ll see us deal with that this summer and try and work through those relationships because it is really complex.”
“Buckle up,” TJ said of what to expect
TJ added, “There’s of course a lot of drama, but I think you get to see the deep-rooted friendships and the history of the friendships. We’ve all been friends for so long, way before we started filming this show, and I feel like as we continue to film it, you’ll see the history of those friendships within the seasons as they grow.”
The fitness coach explained how the group dynamic changes from Season 1. There is a lot of growth from the premiere group.
“I think that you kind of get to see a lot of growth with us individually and collectively as a group, you’ll get to see our friendships move forward,” he said. “How things were in Season 1 is definitely not how they are right now, and I think there’s definitely a lot of beauty in that.”
TJ wanted to share his new business venture this season. Both he and Bradley are working side hustles alongside their job at Leva Bonaparte’s Republic Garden & Lounge.
“I start a business this summer on camera, which is amazing. I’m super excited to watch me work through that process and live through it again,” TJ said.
His costar added, “You’ll definitely see both of our businesses grow. With me kind of on the fitness side of things, definitely Body by Brad has been doing great. And you’ll see us kind of develop into new spots, and that’s gonna be really awesome to watch.”
“Definitely buckle up. There’s definitely never any lulls throughout our summer. I felt like it was always something. Something was going on every couple days. A lot of moving parts but definitely a lot to look forward to,” Bradley concluded.
Southern Hospitality premieres Thursday January 2 9/8c on Bravo.
