The Charleston party scene is about to get a whole lot hotter. After months of speculation, Bravo has officially confirmed the return of its hit reality series, Southern Hospitality, for a third season, promising more high-stakes drama, late-night chaos, and emotional fallout among the staff of Leva Bonaparte’s Republic Garden and Lounge. This season is shaping up to be the most explosive yet, featuring a mix of familiar faces, four brand-new hires, and an intense focus on the precarious relationships that keep the club—and the show—buzzing. Get ready to pour a bourbon and settle in, because the doors to Republic are swinging back open very soon.

The official word is out: Southern Hospitality Season 3 will premiere on Thursday, January 2, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. Episodes will also be available for streaming on Peacock the day after they air, ensuring fans won't miss a single minute of the action. The show was officially renewed by Bravo in May 2024, following the success of its second season, which left several personal and professional relationships in jeopardy. This new installment will dive deep into the lives of Charleston’s most ambitious and tumultuous nightlife crew, all under the watchful eye of boss Leva Bonaparte.

The Complete Southern Hospitality Season 3 Cast List

The third season brings back the core group that fans have come to know, along with new blood to shake up the hierarchy and the drama. A total of nine original stars are confirmed to return, while four new hires are joining the Republic team, setting the stage for fresh conflicts and shifting alliances.

Returning Main Cast Members:

  • Leva Bonaparte: The owner and matriarch of Republic Garden and Lounge, Leva returns to manage her staff and their endless drama.
  • Maddi Reese: VIP Host and DJ, whose complicated relationship with Joe Bradley will be a central focus.
  • Joe Bradley: VIP Host and Maddi's on-again, off-again love interest.
  • Grace Lilly: VIP Host, known for her free-spirited nature and signature style.
  • Mia Alario: VIP Host, who continues to navigate her career and social life.
  • Bradley Carter: VIP Host, whose charm and ambition often put him at the center of the action.
  • Emmy Sharrett: VIP Host, looking to solidify her place in the Republic inner circle.
  • Will Kulp: VIP Host, who may be juggling his club life with the possibility of law school.
  • TJ Dinch: Bar Manager, who tries to keep the peace and the liquor flowing.

New Cast Members:

While the names of all four new hires have yet to be fully detailed in every announcement, their arrival is guaranteed to disrupt the established dynamics. Fans can expect new bartenders, servers, or VIP hosts to join the Republic staff, introducing new romantic and professional rivalries.

Notable Exit:

One major cast member from Season 2, Lucía Peña, was let go from Republic, confirming she will not be a returning main cast member. Her absence will certainly change the dynamic among the female cast members.

7 Explosive Plotlines and Drama Teases for Season 3

The trailer for Southern Hospitality Season 3 has been described as "dramatic" and "wild," indicating that the professional lines between the Republic staff will be blurred more than ever before. Here are the biggest rumored and confirmed storylines that will dominate the season.

1. The Maddi and Joe Relationship Rollercoaster

The biggest question heading into Season 3 is the status of Maddi Reese and Joe Bradley. Their tumultuous, will-they-won't-they dynamic has been a focal point since Season 1, and the new season is expected to heavily focus on their rumored romance. Fans are eager to see if they can finally make things official or if the pressure of working together will drive them apart for good.

2. Leva's Reign and the New Hires

Leva Bonaparte's management style will be tested as she integrates four new staff members into the Republic family. The new hires will inevitably challenge the existing hierarchy, creating friction and competition for shifts, promotions, and Leva’s approval. Leva’s goal is to maintain order, but the new personalities will make that a near-impossible task.

3. The Aftermath of Lucía's Firing

Lucía Peña's departure from Republic is a major shakeup. The season will likely explore the fallout of her exit—how the remaining staff members react, and whether her professional issues spill over into her personal friendships within the group. This event alone could fracture several alliances.

4. Career Ambitions vs. Party Life

The core conflict for many cast members remains balancing their high-energy, late-night jobs with their personal aspirations. Will Kulp, for instance, has been considering law school. This season will show the cast members facing big life decisions, forcing them to choose between the party lifestyle and long-term career goals.

5. Shifting Friendships and Betrayals

In the close-quarters environment of Republic, friendships are constantly tested by romantic entanglements and professional jealousies. The introduction of new people and the high-stakes drama of the club scene will inevitably lead to shocking betrayals and unexpected new alliances among the VIP hosts and managers.

6. The Charleston Nightlife Scene Expands

While Republic Garden and Lounge remains the central setting, the show often features other Charleston hotspots and events. Expect the cast to venture out, bringing their drama to new venues and social gatherings, which often leads to confrontations and public spectacles.

7. Leva's Business Empire

As the owner, Leva’s storyline often revolves around the challenges of managing a successful, high-volume business. This season will likely showcase the operational pressures of running Republic, especially with a rotating and dramatic staff, giving viewers a deeper look into the business side of Charleston’s Southern hospitality industry.

What to Expect from Southern Hospitality's Return

Southern Hospitality, often referred to as the "baby sister" of the original Southern Charm, has carved out its own niche by focusing on the younger, working-class side of Charleston's elite social scene. The show’s strength lies in the genuine, messy, and relatable struggles of its cast members as they navigate their twenties and early thirties in a demanding industry.

With the premiere date set for early January 2025, the anticipation for Season 3 is at an all-time high. The combination of returning fan-favorites, the introduction of four new personalities, and the promise of a "wild" trailer suggests that Leva Bonaparte will have her hands full. The drama between Maddi and Joe, the challenge of training new staff, and the constant threat of professional missteps are all set to deliver a must-watch season of reality television. Be sure to tune into Bravo on January 2, 2025, to see all the chaos unfold.
