The women of “Belle Collective” are back, continuing their personal and professional journeys on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. The new season premieres on Friday, November 1, at 8 pm ET/PT. The series follows a group of successful businesswomen in Jackson, Mississippi, redefining the essence of a Southern belle.
This season, the original cast members Tambra Cheri, Marie Hamilton-Abston, Aikisha Holly-Colon, Lateshia Pearson, Latrice Rogers, and Sophia O. Williams, also known as “Sogucci,” are joined by newcomer Selena Johnson. Selena’s arrival stirs up drama, particularly with Sogucci, who is dealing with legal issues stemming from the fact that Selea is the ex-wife of Sogucci’s husband.
The new season explores various challenges faced by the Belles. Lateshia Pearson juggles her home life and work while dealing with marital issues. Aikisha Holly-Colon navigates menopause and its effects on her love life. Marie Hamilton-Abston expands her business empire and works towards her doctorate but faces an unexpected tragedy at home.
Latrice Rogers, assisted by a former Belle, strives to regain her footing within the Collective while launching two new businesses with her husband. Tambra Cheri, a new mom, limits her baby’s exposure to outsiders, causing tension within the group. Sogucci tries to mend her family, encouraging her husband to repair his relationship with his daughters.
In preparation for the new season, OWN presents “FlashBelle Fridays,” a companion series hosted by executive producer Carlos King, OG Belle Dr. Antoinette Liles, and new member Selena Johnson. Every Friday at 9 pm ET/PT leading up to the premiere, the trio will revisit past episodes, share behind-the-scenes stories, and reveal surprises. Selena, a skilled bartender, will also create a new specialty drink each week.
“Belle Collective” is produced by Kingdom Reign Entertainment with Carlos King, Rajah Ahmed, Brent Nisbett, and Jon Collins serving as executive producers.
