Bravo has dropped the trailer for the long-awaited return of the Atlanta peaches and set the premiere date for Sunday, March 9 at 8 p.m. ET.
The cast of the new season of RHOA includes Porsha Williams, Drew Sidora, and new housewives Shamea Morton Mwangi, Brit Eady, Kelli Ferrell, and Angela Oakley.
RHOA legend Cynthia Bailey returns as a “friend” of the Housewives, and The Traitors alum Phaedra Parks also makes a comeback to the franchise.
In the trailer, Kenya Moore appears, and viewers are given a sneak peek of the scene that ultimately got her booted from the show. Moore leaked sexually explicit images of a fellow cast member at a party being filmed, which was the reason she was suspended from the show.

Cynthia Bailey: She is back in the ATL as a friend and is always ready to lighten the mood when tensions arise. But as the voice of reason that this group needs, will she land in the middle of the drama?
Kelli Ferrell: She is big energy with a mix of culinary couture as chef extraordinaire and owner of well-known ATL staple Nana’s Chicken & Waffles. There’s never a dull moment for Kelli as a single mom of four daughters: Chasti, Chelsi, Chloe and Chance, who are her everything. Her recent divorce has been challenging after 11 years of marriage and threatened Nana’s very existence. This Queen of Waffles is now ready to flourish, build her empire and get to know these ladies better. She’s not holding back on any of her opinions or side-eyes.
Drew Sidora: She is busier than ever with her music and film career taking off. While in full time mommy-mode, she has her sights set on reaching her goals, including having an amicable divorce to end a dramatic roller coaster of a marriage with Ralph, who takes his court-ordered residence in the family basement (or as Ralph calls it his lower-level penthouse), until the divorce is finalized. Drew is looking forward to reclaiming her life, rebuilding friendships and focusing on using her music as an outlet to cope with all the emotional turbulence. But with finding a new music partner in Dennis, who is also Porsha’s ex-fiancé, things get complicated when there are two sides to a story. Will this unique collaboration end in one accord?
Shamea Morton: While not wanting to be defined by her wealth, family is Shamea’s No. 1 priority. Her daughters, Shya and miracle baby Shiloh, are her pride and joy as she wants to continue to grow their family with her husband of 10 years, Gerald Mwangi. However, with a fear of another traumatic pregnancy, this may derail the couple’s longing dream of having another child. Shamea is the heart of the Atlanta social elite and a quadruple threat as an actor, singer dancer and host. In this friend group she has bonds that extend decades, especially with Porsha, a best friend from childhood, but will their long-term friendship stand the test of time coupled with some rough waves of miscommunication.
