Like its parent show Southern Charm, Southern Hospitality was officially renewed by Bravo back in May, and now it’s almost time for for another party at the Republic Lounge and Garden and Bourbon and Bubbles.

In just two seasons, Southern Hospitality has already earned a solid fanbase, with many calling it the new Vanderpump Rules, as it follows the life of the staffers at Leva Bonaparte‘s Charleston bars — both on the job and in their personal lives.

So what do we know about Southern Hospitality Season 3 so far? Here’s a look at the details that are available now about the reality show’s return.

When will Southern Hospitality Season 3 premiere?

The brand new season will debut on Thursday, January 2 at 9/8c and stream next-day on Peacock.

Who will star in Southern Hospitality Season 3?

Bravo has now confirmed the cast for Southern Hospitality Season 3.

Leva Bonaparte will continue being at the center of the action as she oversees the crew. Meanwhile, the main cast members from Season 1 and 2 who will return are Maddi Reese, Joe Bradley, Grace Lilly, Mia Alario, Bradley Carter, Emmy Sharrett, Will Kulp, and TJ Dinch.

As for who won’t be back, fans will not see the return of Lucía Peña, the single mom who famously lost her job at Republic after having a drink at work, Mikel Simmons, who had much less screen time in Season 2, and Oisin O’Neill, who joined the show in Season 2 and was known as the “milkman” for his unique online presence.

Newcomers for Season 3 include Republic staffers Molly Moore, Lake Rucker, Michols Peña, and Austin Stephan.

What should we expect from Southern Hospitality Season 3?

Bravo has revealed bios for the cast that give some major hints about what their Season 3 storylines will entail:

  • Leva Bonaparte: “Charleston nightlife connoisseur Leva Bonaparte is back and better than ever. To ensure Republic reigns supreme, Leva makes some new hires to guarantee her club remains the centerpiece of her restaurant kingdom.”
  • Joe Bradley: “VIP Host Joe Bradley has finally scored the girl of his dreams and is living large as the resident door host at Republic, but his tunnel vision on work and his relationship may leave him neglecting longstanding friendships.”
  • Bradley Carter: “VIP Server Bradley Carter is ready to take the summer by storm. His personal training venture Body by Brad is flourishing and he’s caught the eye of a new Republic recruit, but his bubble of bliss may burst when his past comes back to haunt him.”
  • T.J. Dinch: “This summer, Bartender TJ Dinch is dedicated to establishing his own business, repairing friendships, and navigating feelings for a new co-worker. Despite attempts to stay in his lane, TJ is pulled back to the drama and embarks on a mission to get to the bottom of (yet another?) cheating scandal.”
  • Maddi Reese: “DJ & VIP Server Maddi Reese’s career is on the rise as she continues to book gigs across the country, but what seemed like a stress-free summer grows complicated as she tries to establish herself in the DJ world while making sure her relationship is a top priority.”
  • Emmy Sharrett: “Armed with a five-year plan, VIP Server Emmy Sharrett seems to have it all figured out. But when new rumors circle about her relationship, Emmy’s summer is turned upside down, leaving her to figure out who her true friends are.”

  • Michols Peña: “Assistant General Manager Michols Peña has an impressive track record in the hospitality business and has quickly become an invaluable asset to Republic. However, he’s put to the ultimate test when forced to balance his professional duties with sustaining friendships and budding romances.”

Born into a successful family with deep ties in the south, Lake is forced to toe the line of respecting her family’s wishes while remaining authentic to who she is.”
  • Austin Stephan: “Rounding out the newbies is Austin Stephan, whom Leva quickly puts to the test by training him in every position Republic has to offer. But when Austin spills the hottest tea of the summer, he scrambles to find the receipts.”
  • Mia Alario: “Former Republic Hostess Mia Alario is following in her mother’s footsteps as a contestant for the Miss World pageant representing her native Trinidad and Tobago. Despite being oceans away from her friends, Mia still manages to keep up with all the drama back in Charleston.”
  • Will Kulp: “School is out for the summer and that means future lawyer and former Republic Bartender Will Kulp is back in Charleston. Riding the high of a successful year, Will hopes to enjoy time with his friends, but rumors travel through town threatening to put him on trial.”
