Everything to Know About ‘Southern Charm’ Season 10: Who Is Returning, When It Premieres, More

What happens in Charleston, doesn’t stay in Charleston — at least when it comes to the lives of the Southern Charm cast.

After an explosive season 9 , which ended in January, fans have been waiting to learn more about the next chapter of the Bravo series. “If we come back, we’ve got a ton to share. I think the boys are in an interesting spot, especially me and Shep [Rose] ,” Craig Conover exclusively told Us Weekly in March .

Craig revealed that after he and Austen Kroll had an emotional talk with Shep during the season 9 reunion in January about his drinking, the pair had yet to have an in-depth catch-up. “If we come back, I think it’s gonna be something that I’m excited to get off my chest,” Craig added. “I’m excited to have a friendship with Shep again.”

Three months later, Craig exclusively told Us that season 10 was shaping up to be a good one. “I don’t think anyone will be let down,” he teased in June, noting that viewers have seen his life play out as a “roller-coaster of a ride” over the past decade.

Where Did the ‘Southern Charm’ Cast Stand After the Season 9 Reunion?

Austen and Taylor Ann Green were in the hot seat during the season 9 reunion , which aired in January, after their secret hookup came to light earlier in the season. Although Austen was trying to rekindle his romance with Olivia when he kissed Taylor , he and Olivia left the reunion on cordial terms. (Austen and Olivia split in 2022.)

Taylor and her ex-boyfriend Shep ended the reunion as friends as did Taylor and Austen. (Taylor dated Shep for three years before they called it quits in 2021.)

Although Taylor apologized to Olivia for betraying her trust and kissing Austen, the pair didn’t make amends during their televised sit-down. “I will not be friends with you. But I’m not going to make this miserable for you,” Olivia confessed. “I’m not going to be negative. We can move forward, that doesn’t necessarily mean together.”

Craig shut down rumors of turmoil among the cast in May after seeing fan account QueensofBravo’s posting about the alleged season 10 story line.

“There’s tension between Austen & Craig. It may involve Paige [DeSorbo] . Craig had a ‘meltdown’ Saturday (unsure if related),” the post stated. “Taylor may or may not be OUT. JT, who now has a GF, is coming for Madison’s husband, Brett [Randle] .”

Olivia Flowers Announces Her ‘Southern Charm’ Exit

“I’m not on this new season. So, I have a lot more free time,” Olivia revealed during a July episode of the “Scheananigans With Scheana Shay” podcast. “I was super bummed.”

Olivia, who has been dating Alex Williams since May 2023, hinted that her departure was not her decision. “I have this new relationship and I’m choosing another path,” she said. “But I got the call a few weeks before filming from the production company. It was just, kind of, asking the questions like, ‘You don’t really seem to be in Charleston that much.’”

She noted that when production inquired about her “different path,” she was spending a lot of time in Texas to be closer to her family and she was prioritizing seeing her new man. “I’m really glad that I did go off and do that. He was the best part that came out of that year,” Flowers said of her boyfriend. “But had I known it was working against me or making people think that I wasn’t there choosing a different path? Maybe I wish there had been a little bit more communication there with it.”

The Sewing Down South founder, who has been dating Paige since 2021 , added: “It’ll be exciting to see how we all evolve over the next few years with Bravo. Our lives are changing, TV’s changing and how that looks and how we can share even more of our lives with the viewer I think is what I’m excited about.”
