Charleston’s high society is back, ready to serve up more drama, heartbreak, and Lowcountry flair in Southern Charm Season 11. Fans are buzzing with excitement after Season 10’s wild ride of breakups, feuds, and jaw-dropping moments. With filming done and dusted, here’s the latest on when the new season hits screens, who’s in (and who’s out), and what kind of chaos to expect from this tight-knit crew.
When Does Southern Charm Season 11 Premiere?
Bravo gave the green light for Season 11 in May 2025, alongside a nod for Southern Hospitality’s fourth season. Cameras rolled soon after, wrapping by mid-July. No exact premiere date has dropped yet, but if past seasons are any clue, expect new episodes to light up screens sometime between January and March 2026. Shep Rose, Charleston’s resident charmer, recently spilled that the season feels “really special,” hinting at a polished edit that’s got everyone talking. For now, fans can catch up on Season 10 reruns or keep an eye out for Bravo’s fall promos to lock in that date.
Cast Updates: Fresh Faces and Surprising Exits
The Southern Charm cast is getting a shake-up, with some familiar faces holding court and others hitting the exit. At least 10 stars are back to keep the Charleston social scene sizzling, but four departures have shifted the vibe in a big way.
Shep Rose, Craig Conover, and Austen Kroll are locked in, bringing their usual mix of bromance and bad decisions. Madison LeCroy’s sharp wit returns, alongside Venita Aspen, Leva Bonaparte, Taylor Ann Green, and Olivia Flowers, who’ll keep the ladies’ drama front and center. Newer players like Salley Carson, Rod Razavi, Rodrigo Reyes, and Eliza Limehouse are sticking around, with whispers of Winter House crossovers adding some fresh faces to the mix.
On the flip side, Kathryn Dennis, Jarrett “JT” Thomas, and Ryan Albert are bowing out, leaving some big shoes to fill. Naomie Olindo’s absence stings too, though no one’s spilled the tea on why these exits happened. Rumors of Cameran Eubanks returning got fans hopeful, but she shut that down fast, calling out “fake” AI-generated buzz. Whitney Sudler-Smith might pop up for quick cameos, but his full role’s still a mystery.
This refreshed lineup feels younger, hungrier, and ready to spark some serious tension. Salley Carson even joked about “surviving” the shoot, which says plenty about the behind-the-scenes heat.
What to expect in Charm Season 11?
Season 11 picks up where Season 10 left off, diving headfirst into personal shake-ups and group showdowns. Craig Conover’s fresh off his split with Summer House’s Paige DeSorbo, and Shep’s hyping it as Craig’s big moment to shine—think pillow empire glow-ups and maybe some flirty rebounds. Austen Kroll’s relationship with Audrey Pratt is already showing cracks, with him hinting at “trouble” that could spill over into group chaos.
Kathryn Dennis might be gone, but her shadow looms large. Her off-screen shade-throwing at Salley Carson—calling her out for “copying” her style—has tongues wagging. Shep chimed in, saying Kathryn wasn’t in a great headspace, but the season’s more about new “bonds” that catch everyone off guard. Salley and Venita Aspen’s feud boiled over on social media, with Salley’s TikTok jabs labeling Venita “two-faced” and hinting at major cast friction.
Expect deeper dives into family ties, career moves—like Patricia Altschul’s book tour hype—and friendships that crash and burn under Charleston’s oak trees. Shep called it a season with “plenty of meat on the bones,” blending raw emotion with the messy confrontations that make this show pure gold.
