Southern Charm Season 11: Everything We Know So Far — Who’s Back, When It Premieres, and What to Expect From the Charleston Chaos - lulu

Pour yourself a sweet tea (or a spicy martini), because Southern Charm is officially back for Season 11 — and Charleston is about to get messy.

Bravo’s beloved Southern socialites are returning for another round of parties, pillow talk, and passive-aggressive porch conversations — and if early teasers are any indication, this might be the most explosive season yet.

Here’s everything we know so far about Southern Charm Season 11: the cast, the premiere date, and the drama that’s already brewing behind those historic iron gates.


🎥 When Does Southern Charm Season 11 Premiere?

Mark your calendars, charmers!
Season 11 premieres on Thursday, September 19, at 9/8c on Bravo, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock.

That gives you just enough time to rewatch last season’s biggest betrayals and brush up on your Charleston etiquette — because the tea is about to be scalding.


👑 Who’s Returning to the Cast?

Get ready for a mix of familiar faces and fresh Southern spice. Returning this season are:

  • Craig Conover – Still building his pillow empire and navigating love in the Lowcountry.
  • Shep Rose – The resident bachelor, still dodging commitment and stirring the pot as only Shep can.
  • Madison LeCroy – She’s married, she’s glowing, and she’s not afraid to speak her mind (or clap back).
  • Venita Aspen – Fashion-forward, emotionally intelligent, and ready to call things as they are.
  • Leva Bonaparte – The queen of perspective and shade, balancing business and social chaos.
  • Rod Razavi – Back for more after a buzzy debut, and this time, his love life is front and center.
  • JT Thomas and Jarrett “Jerry” Thomas – Bringing new layers to Charleston’s social scene.

But wait — there’s more.


😮 Who’s Not Coming Back?

After a rollercoaster run, Taylor Ann Green is reportedly not returning as a full-time cast member this season, though she may pop up in a friend role. Sources say she needed some time away from the cameras after a tough year.

Meanwhile, Olivia Flowers is still undecided — her appearance could be limited, but nothing’s confirmed yet.

And yes, Kathryn Dennis remains absent for the second season in a row, though her presence still lingers in cast conversations.


💥 What’s the Drama This Time?

This season is all about new relationships, shifting alliances, and major personal growth — or at least, attempts at it.

  • Craig is caught between running a serious business and living the party-boy lifestyle.
  • Shep is forced to confront what "growing up" really means (spoiler: it's not just switching from beer to bourbon).
  • Madison is learning how to balance married life with her fiery independence — and not everyone approves.
  • New dynamics among the guys create unexpected tension, while the women are not here for the bro club energy sneaking back in.

And yes, there are whispers of a romantic triangle — or maybe square — that threatens to split friendships down the middle.

One insider promises:

“It starts fun and flirty, but by mid-season, secrets come out that even production didn’t see coming.”


🏡 Southern Style, Southern Shade

The Charleston backdrop is as gorgeous as ever — but don’t let the pastel homes and polite smiles fool you.

From steamy summer nights to emotional sit-downs, Season 11 promises everything fans have come to love about Southern Charm: big emotions, bigger egos, and the kind of slow-burn drama you can’t look away from.


Final Thoughts?

If you thought the South was all about manners and magnolias, think again. Season 11 is here to remind us that when it comes to Southern Charm, the real tradition is: bring the drama, y’all.
