The Real Housewives of Atlanta

In the heart of the New South, Atlanta is a landscape defined by Black excellence, high fashion, and the unbreakable—yet incredibly fragile—bonds of sisterhood. Sheree Whitfield attempts to assert her independence following a high-profile divorce, but an administrative oversight leaves NeNe Leakes off the guest list for her fashion line unveiling, sparking an immediate and icy feud. As NeNe navigates this social freeze, her enigmatic friendship with the lavishly living Kim Zolciak becomes the center of the circle, drawing quiet judgment from the other women. Meanwhile, Lisa Wu balances her entrepreneurial drive with marriage to a professional athlete, while philanthropic peacemaker DeShawn Snow desperately attempts to unite the fiercely competitive sisterhood through a massive charity gala.

As Kim Zolciak drifts away from NeNe Leakes to pursue a music career, she enlists the help of Grammy-winning R&B icon Kandi Burruss, who joins the group while battling her mother's unrelenting disapproval of her new fiancé. Lisa Wu pours her energy into a baby clothing line and her husband's retirement, while Sheree Whitfield pivots from fashion to famously locking horns with a disrespectful party planner in a spectacular showdown. The lingering animosity between former best friends Kim and NeNe finally reaches a point of no return, prompting Sheree to form an uneasy alliance with NeNe to ensure the battle lines of Atlanta's social scene are permanently drawn.

Facing a devastating and highly public divorce, NeNe Leakes finds a sophisticated safe harbor in newcomer Cynthia Bailey, an elegant supermodel suffocating under the immense financial strain and family skepticism surrounding her upcoming wedding to Peter Thomas. The ladies are also introduced to eccentric entertainment attorney Phaedra Parks, whose rigid Southern etiquette and highly mysterious pregnancy timeline immediately rub the more modern women the wrong way, especially a cautious Sheree Whitfield. Meanwhile, Kandi Burruss's business relationship with Kim Zolciak implodes over tour royalties, but Kim is far too distracted to care after fast-tracking a whirlwind romance with a young professional football player she met at a charity event.

Embracing her newfound independence between Georgia and New York, NeNe Leakes leans heavily on Cynthia Bailey, who struggles to build her fashion agency while her husband Peter’s lounge business flounders. Sheree Whitfield pours her finances into building the grand "Chateau Sheree," drifting away from Phaedra Parks and her eccentric new mortuary science career, while high-fashion newcomer Marlo Hampton shakes up the group's luncheons with her lavish, unfiltered candor. As Kandi Burruss quietly expands her empire into an adult luxury brand, the growing distance among the women is highlighted when a blissfully pregnant Kim Zolciak refuses to leave her new mansion and NFL fiancé for a profound group trip to South Africa.

Charismatic newcomer Kenya Moore crashes into the Atlanta scene, instantly sparking a hilarious, long-term feud over etiquette with pampered trophy wife Porsha Williams. As Kandi Burruss blissfully builds a new life with Todd Tucker and NeNe Leakes boasts of her bi-coastal acting success, a pregnant Kim Zolciak-Biermann permanently exits the group following a dramatic driveway confrontation. Meanwhile, a canceled business collaboration between Kenya and Phaedra Parks implodes into a petty, full-blown rivalry of competing "booty" workout videos that dominates their tropical getaway to Anguilla.
