The upcoming season of Southern Hospitality promises to deliver another dose of drama and excitement. Bravo’s popular series is set to return for its third season in January. On November 20, the network released the first teaser trailer, offering a glimpse of what’s to come, including a surprise wedding in Las Vegas.
The show, a spinoff of Southern Charm, centers around Leva Bonaparte, a glamorous restaurateur, and her lively staff at Republic, one of Charleston’s most popular nightlife destinations.
Returning for the new season are Joe Bradley, TJ Dinch, Bradley Carter, Maddi Reese, Emmy Sharrett, Mia Alario, Will Kulp, and Grace Lilly. They’ll be joined by newcomers Molly Moore, Michols Peña, Lake Rucker, and Austin Stephan. The trailer opens with a shocking moment: Joe and Maddi’s impromptu Las Vegas wedding at a chapel, officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator.

Viewers are then treated to scenes of the crew’s adventures in Charleston and Las Vegas as they travel to watch Maddi’s DJ performance. In Sin City, a massive ad for Maddi’s set catches the group’s attention, leading Joe to snap a photo of the billboard and proudly declare, “That’s my girlfriend.”
Joe has previously been linked to Summer House star Danielle Olivera and former Real Housewives of New York City star Luann de Lesseps. The trailer also shows Grace confiding in Maddi about experimenting with Ayahuasca, leading to a transformative experience. Several steamy interactions follow, including moments between Maddi and Joe, as well as newcomer Lake with Bradley.
As the teaser continues, viewers meet Republic’s new Assistant General Manager, Michols, who immediately catches TJ’s eye. “Holy s—, this guy is hot,” TJ exclaims. However, another newcomer, Molly, seems to be causing tension among the group.
A brief montage shows Molly clashing with her coworker Emmy, who later expresses in a confessional, “Molly is an insecure b—-,” and makes it clear she doesn’t like her. Meanwhile, their boss, Leva, confronts Emmy, telling her, “You’re acting out of pocket.”
The teaser also hints at trouble in Will’s relationship when rumors of his potential affairs while away at law school begin to surface. Leva’s former bartender returns to Charleston for the summer, but his return seems to stir up more drama than expected.
In the final moments of the trailer, Austin and TJ bring up Will’s alleged infidelities, with TJ warning the couple, “He is going to f—- you over. I bet you f—— that b—-.”
