With two weeks left until the highly anticipated season premiere of Southern Hospitality, Charleston is starting to heat up with the release of the season's trailer.
Southern Hospitality has followed the staff of King Street bar, Republic, for the last three seasons while they navigate their friendships inside and outside of the workplace.
The addition of new cast members, Justin and Bella, could shift the group dynamic. The new host and VIP server may disrupt both the workplace and romantic standings, especially with Lake, VIP host, admitting, "He has some swag."
Just by the look of the trailer, this season is going to follow a similar trajectory for VIP server Emmy. With the recent announcement of her engagement to former cast member Will Kulp, the rumors of his cheating are still swirling, causing Emmy to have more of her iconic meltdowns.

Still, trouble is brewing for my favorite reality TV couple. What starts out looking good, with Joe Bradley, VIP manager, looking at engagement rings for Maddie, DJ and VIP manager, slowly turns into the fight we have seen a million times on this network. Maddie, who is over 10 years sober, gets into it with Joe about his excessive drinking and lying about going out. Ending with Maddie tearfully saying she "just needs a break."
Joe's trouble continues as he clashes with Leva, Southern Charm cast member and owner of Republic. While the true cause of this fight is questionable as of now, it can be assumed that it is over new member Justin starting to take over Joe's role as "Joey Bottles" and Joe's future with the company.
While other cast members are also heating up this season with Mia and Grace Lily going at it over Grace and Maddie's one-sided friendship and Molly commenting on Michols' lack of anger management and possible demotion from his position as assistant general manager.
This season looks promising and could be the best season we have gotten from the Republic crew. Catch the premiere of Southern Hospitality on Mar. 4th at 9 P.M. on Bravo.
