'Love & Marriage: Detroit' Returns for Season 3 With New Drama

Love & Marriage: Detroit is set to return to OWN for a third season filled with tears and disputes.

The cable network recently announced the news, saying the Detroit-set reality show premieres on April 12.

The series follows African American couples Russell and Kolby Harris; Brandon and Kristina Bowman Smith; Anthony and Dr. LaToya Thompson; Marcel and Kimberly Dobine; and Bravo and Lakeita Samuels.

“The couples are determined to thrive in their community and are focused on building the best lives possible for their families in Detroit,” according to the official description.

But not everything is rosy — or it wouldn’t be reality TV.

A teaser trailer for the new episodes shows tensions rising between music industry insiders Brandon and Anthony.

“Anthony is the most braggadocios person I have ever met,” Brandon says.

Later, Anthony issues a warning: “You keep playing with me and I’ll burn the whole house down!”

Last season Brandon and Kristina’s marriage was on the rocks. But he’s back home now, working with Kristina on her music, per OWN. And hopefully calming things down with Anthony.

The series is produced by Kingdom Reign Entertainment, with Detroit native Carlos King serving as executive producer.
