Belle Collective returns for a sixth season in October, with a new look and a new Belle.
In a press release on Thursday, Sept. 4, OWN unveiled details on the upcoming season, along with a teaser trailer.
The reality series follows a group of Black women entrepreneurs in Jackson, Mississippi. The Southern Belles are making power moves while balancing family and friendships.
Season 6 kicks off Friday, Oct. 3, which just happens to be the same day Sean “Diddy” Combs will be sentenced. While Diddy’s legal troubles have zero to do with the show, the Bad Boy mogul will be THE HOT TOPIC of the day in the entertainment world.
Anyway, the teaser trailer for Belle Collective says the ladies will be back “stronger than ever.”
Returning Belles include Lateshia Pearson, Latrice Rogers, Marie Hamilton-Abston, Selena Johnson, and Tambra Cheri.
Missing will be Aikisha Holly-Colon and husband Willie Colon, who announced they would not return for season 6 during a holiday live stream with series executive producer Carlos King on Dec. 23, 2024.
Aikisha said their attorney had sent a letter to King’s production company. King appeared stunned, but kept things classy and told the couple, “Anytime you guys want to return, the door will always be open for you.”
Then on Dec. 31, Sophia “Sogucci” Williams announced she and her husband JJ Williams had decided to leave following a difficult season 5 reunion.
“Watching the reunion episode was very hard to sit through,” she wrote in a post on the X platform. “I take full accountability for allowing the entertainment of this show to ruin the integrity of my family.”
Hopefully the remaining cast members have been able to put aside any differences they have.
Belle Collective season 6 premieres on Friday, Oct. 3 at 8pm ET/PT on OWN.
The teaser trailer can be found here. Below are details on storylines for the new season, per OWN.
Lateshia hosts her powerhouse brunch series, uniting entrepreneurs and expanding its influence across the state of Mississippi. But while her empire rises, her marriage faces a sizzling scandal.
Latrice is serving success on a silver platter as she and her husband Cliff celebrate the buzz around their hot new restaurant, Taste. But while business is booming, marriage may be on the back burner.
Marie finds her love life is heating up as old flames reignite with her ex-husband Cedric, in the midst of a spark-filled friendship with a new admirer. When both men show up at her birthday party, the Belles are left gasping at Marie’s truly unexpected love triangle.
Selena is working on improving communication with her fiancé, Mike, before deciding whether
to tie the knot. During this pending milestone, however, she continues to navigate the heartbreaking loss of her son. The Belles rally by her side, pushing her to confront the past, open old wounds, and find the strength to step into a new chapter.
Tambra is on top of the world, juggling motherhood, a booming radio career, and a romance that’s headed towards the altar. But behind the success, one major roadblock threatens her happily-ever-after: Demond’s silence about money.
Newcomer Kerri Paul hails from the Mississippi Gulf Coast and is making her presence felt in Jackson. A wife, mom-of-three, and powerhouse entrepreneur, Kerri wastes no time making waves, throwing shade and stirring drama, especially with Marie.
