While Southern Hospitality‘s fourth season finished airing in June 2026, fans are eagerly hoping for a fifth season of the show to be announced.
Bravo has yet to issue official confirmation that the hit reality series will return, but a lot has been happening behind the scenes.
One of the biggest changes was star Joe Bradley departing Leva Bonaparte‘s Republic Garden and Lounge for a job with a “new” hospitality group that works with Craig Conover and Austen Kroll from Southern Charm.
In the wake of that news, an insider exclusively divulged to Reality Blurb that we could potentially see Craig, 37, and Austen, 39, on a new season of Southern Hospitality.
“Joe is now at Share House, a part of Uptown Hospitality Group,” the source stated. “As fans know, Southern Charm stars Austen Kroll and Craig Conover own that.”
“As Southern Hospitality hopefully gets in motion for a fifth season, it is possible we could see Craig and Austen start making appearances on the show,” they shared.
The insider pointed out that this could be a move that would “conceptually make sense” as even more fans from Southern Charm may tune in.
“Of course this likely wouldn’t sit well with Leva as their hospitality group is in direct competition with hers, but Bravo loves a good dramatic mess, and this definitely would be that type of scenario,” the source added. “As the network always says, we’ll have to wait and watch what happens.”
Yesterday, an insider exclusively confirmed that Leva had a falling out with Joe and his costar TJ Dinch.
“Rumblings of a falling out between Leva and Joe and Leva and TJ are not rumors,” they noted. “They’re facts.”
The source insisted that Joe, 30, “did the right thing” and “met with Leva when he was going to leave Republic.”
“She absolutely lost it,” they revealed. “He was upfront with her and told her the truth, which, again, was the respectful thing to do. She inevitably told him she was disappointed but wished him well. But those who know Leva know she is upset, and those well wishes weren’t exactly sincere, and she’s being shady.”
“As far as TJ goes, after he posted on Instagram about people not supporting your endeavors, she also was upset with him,” they elaborated. “While there wasn’t necessarily a major fight between them all, it is safe to say they’re definitely not chummy.”
