The Charmers will be back for a landmark 10th season soon. Southern Charm was officially renewed by Bravo — alongside its spinoff Southern Hospitality — back in May, and details about the reality series’ return are starting to come through after production was spotted underway throughout the Holy City.

Read on to find out everything we know about Southern Charm Season 10 so far.

When will Southern Charm Season 10 premiere?

The show will return to Bravo on Thursday, December 5 at 9/8c, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock.

Who will star in Southern Charm Season 10?

Joining the cast of Charleston’s rowdiest for the next season is The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise alum Salley Carson. People confirmed her addition to the cast in April. Carson announced on social media that she moved back to Charleston, South Carolina, in March 2022 and appeared as a guest star on Southern Hospitality Season 2 when she had a brief situationship with Joe Bradley. We’ll have to wait and see what Carson brings to the show, but it looks like she’ll at least be good buddies with Venita Aspen based on their fun Instagram video together.

Also joining the new season is Molly O’Connell, a model who previously appeared on America’s Next Top Model and Below Deck. She was once rumored to be in a relationship with show creator and star Whitney Sudler-Smith after a brief appearance at the party for Season 6.

Lastly, Ryan Albert, a longtime friend of the group, was included in Patricia Altschul’s video of the rest of the prior male cast, with the caption, “Southern Charm has the best-looking men on Bravo,” apparently confirming rumors that he’s joining the show.

Olivia Flowers confirmed on July 12 that she will not be returning for Season 10 in a conversation with Scheana Shay on her podcast Scheananigans with Scheana Shay. She admitted she was sad about her departure from the show.

Madison LeCroy previously teased the addition of some of her “friends” to Page Six, promising, “new, fresh faces” and “more people in [her] corner.” She also confirmed her return for the new season in March, adding, “I’m hosting the first party, and it’s going to be fabulous.”

Fans can also expect to see Patricia Altschul back on screen alongside son and show creator Whitney Sudler-Smith.

What will happen in Southern Charm Season 10?

The logline for Southern Charm Season 10 teases, “The Charmers find themselves at a crossroads of familiar feuds and redefined boundaries. Once Charleston’s rowdiest, the group appears committed to business, family, and health, but growing pains are inevitable as fractures in their newfound life plans are quick to surface.”

In the newly-released trailer (embedded below), it’s clear there will be some conflicts between Shep and Craig, a budding romance between JT and Venita, a hookup with Shep, and fun (and some drama) in the sun during the group’s Bahamas trip.

Bravo also provided these teasers for what’s ahead with each Charmer:

After Shep’s declaration to change at the end of last season, he attended an ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica and is now determined to make real growth. He has even fallen head-over-heels in love with the former Miss Bahamas, but the group questions if she feels the same way about him.
Taylor has moved on from her relationship with Shep, last year’s drama with Austen and is unapologetically in love with her new boyfriend, a Charleston mainstay whom everyone has an opinion. She’s dedicated to setting boundaries – from friendships to past flames – so that nothing can threaten her newfound happiness.
Surprising himself by defining the relationship, Austen is finally happy with a new long-distance girlfriend and focused on reviving his beer business. While his love life is on the up and up, his friendship with Craig is on the rocks as the former partners-in-crime find themselves at a crucial point of disagreement with no clear path forward.
Craig seems to be thriving both professionally and personally, steadfast in his belief that Paige is “The One.” But after taking time away from Shep last year, he finds his longstanding friendships are on shaky ground as both Austen and Shep question what happened to their former confidante.
After just one year of marriage, resident southern belle Madison grapples with the loss of her father and finds herself dealing with issues far from her days as the single party girl. While she focuses on her family, she finds out that JT is meddling in rumors that cross the line.
JT continues to be an outspoken rabble-rouser, stirring up controversy wherever he goes. Despite his best intentions, his rapport with many in the group starts to go up in flames. However, Venita turns out to be his constant and offers a shoulder to lean on as he tries to mend friendships.
After breaking up with boyfriend Manny last year, Venita realizes that she and JT have an undeniable attraction and connection that goes deeper than most. She starts to question her feelings toward him amidst preserving her own friendships with those he may not be on the best terms with.
Leva continues to be a sounding board for her friends and isn’t afraid to call out their bad behavior when they step out of line.
Rodrigo finds himself balancing a stable home life with his partner and dealing with the drama of his closest confidantes. He’s unapologetic about giving his opinion and ready to take sides if necessary.
Salley is the latest to grace Charleston’s vibrant social scene. She’s a bubbly party girl by night and a robotics technician for surgical procedures by day. The debutante is gorgeous, intelligent and independent, and she shares a curiously parallel romantic past with Taylor.
Molly is a quirky southern belle, friendly but unfiltered, who grew up in Charleston and left to model all over the world. She’s returned home to be closer to her family and friends, and her longtime entanglements with the men of the group lead her to wonder exactly how she fits in.
Ryan is a true Southern gentleman within Charleston’s elite social scene. Along with his husband, Dr. Eddie Irions, he’s among Patricia’s closest friends.

Craig Conover previously teased that there may be some pretty serious discussions ahead between himself and Shep Rose in the next season, following their raw exchange about Rose’s drinking habits during the Season 9 reunion. Conover told US Weekly, “Shep and I — we’ve kept things surface level [since the reunion]. We go to the gym at the same time, and we see each other, but I think that’s a big conversation… Asking, ‘How was his trip to Costa Rica? What did he take from it and how is he living his life now?’ We haven’t had that conversation yet. So if we come back, I think it’s gonna be something that I’m excited to get off my chest. I’m excited to have a friendship with Shep again.”

Meanwhile, Conover and Austen Kroll are teaming up for a new bar in Charleston, so chances are, fans will get to see that process in the works. (The two previously opened a restaurant in New York.) Fans might also see Kroll enjoying his new relationship with his girlfriend Audrey Pratt. And Conover has denied several rumors, including one that he and Kroll had any tension over his girlfriend Paige DeSorbo during production.

What will this year’s theme party be?

It’s not a season of Southern Charm without a big bash to get the tensions brewing, and it looks like this year’s theme will be a celebration of everyone’s favorite den (read: mansion) mother Patricia Altschul!

Social media snaps of the party show that the attendees will include Shep Rose and Austen Kroll, who’ll be seated by her side.
