The Boss Ladies of “Belle Collective” Are Back for a New Season Beginning Friday, November 1 @ 8PM EST on OWN

The dynamic ladies of “Belle Collective” are back, ready to soar to new heights in the new season premiering Friday, November 1 @ 8PM ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. The series continues to spotlight the personal and professional journeys of a group of successful boss women, redefining the essence of a Southern belle in Jackson, Mississippi.

Returning this season are Belles Tambra Cheri, Marie Hamilton-Abston, Aikisha Holly-Colon, Lateshia Pearson, Latrice Rogers, and Sophia O. Williams aka “Sogucci”. This group of entrepreneurs proudly represent their hometown of Jackson, showcasing the very best of Black female entrepreneurship in the modern South. They skillfully navigate their businesses, charity work, and the ups and downs of their personal lives, all while looking fabulous and maintaining their signature blend of sweet and spice.

Coming up in the new season:

Selena Johnson joins the Collective and her fabulousness is causing chatter among the group. She works on trying to mend her children’s relationship with their father while navigating the legal issues brought forward by her ex-husband’s wife, longtime Belle Sophia aka Sogucci.

The Collective moves to work past the drama from last season’s reunion, but Selena’s arrival in the group stirs up animosity from her ex-husband, JJ, and his current wife, Sogucci.

While trying to balance home life and work, Lateshia contends with her discontented husband, Glen, who makes a decision that may change their marriage forever.

Aikisha brings the Belles to Farish Street for a “Collective Correction” to quash the recent drama in the group once and for all. Meanwhile, she is navigating menopause and the changes it brings to her love life with her husband, Willie.

Marie continues to grapple with family issues, including with her cousins who are resentful of the attention Marie pays to the Collective and not them. Also, Marie expands her empire and works towards her doctorate, but then an unexpected tragedy hits her home.

Latrice surrounds herself with allies against the Collective and enlists the help of a former Belle which raises eyebrows. As she struggles to reestablish her place in the Collective, she and her husband work on opening two businesses at the same time. But can they do this without strangling each other?

New mom Tambra limits baby London-Symone’s exposure to people outside of her home, much to the chagrin of Aikisha and Lateshia. Fed up with the drama in the Collective, Tambra takes charge and starts to mend fences.

Sogucci feels responsible for healing her family, encouraging her husband JJ to repair his relationship with his three daughters while trying to respect his wishes that she have nothing to do with his now ever-present ex-wife and newest Belle, Selena.

To get viewers ready for a new season of sweet tea, OWN is rolling out “FlashBelle Fridays,” a special “Belle Collective” companion series. Executive producer and creator Carlos King will sit down for some kiki with OG Belle Dr. Antoinette Liles and the newest member of the Collective, Selena. Every Friday @ 9PM ET/PT leading up to the new season premiere, the trio flashes back to seminal past episodes of the series to reminisce, share behind-the-scenes stories, and reveal a few surprises. The drinks will also be flowing as Selena, a skilled bartender, crafts a new specialty drink each week.

“Belle Collective” is produced by Kingdom Reign Entertainment with Carlos King, Rajah Ahmed, Brent Nisbett and Jon Collins as executive producers.
