Southern Charm Season 12 teases a shocking love child rumor that could rock the group
After Season 11 delivered strong ratings and generated significant cultural buzz, Bravo unveiled the trailer for Season 12 on October 5. The upcoming season will bring back Venita Aspen, Salley Carson, Craig Conover, Austen Kroll, Madison LeCroy, Molly O’Connell, Rodrigo Reyes, Whitner Slagsvol, and Shep Rose. Newcomer Allie Newman will also join the cast. She is a model and one of Venita’s friends. She also has a past connection with Austen, having been described as his “former flame.”
Patricia Altschul and Whitney Sudler-Smith are also set to appear. Charley Manley will also be featured alongside her new boyfriend. Taylor Ann Green will also return to the show after sparking reconciliation rumors with Shep.
The trailer opens with a major bombshell as Whitney drops a revelation during a dinner with the group in Maui. “There’s an elephant in the room that needs to be addressed,” he says. “The assumption is that one of you has a love child.” The revelation leaves the cast members stunned. Madison LeCroy asks, “Is there a picture or not?!” Newcomer Allie Newman then says, “I’ll show you the baby,” seemingly suggesting that she has evidence. Madison responds, “Wow, that’s a beautiful baby.”
Bravo has not yet announced the episode count for Season 12. However, the show’s last four seasons each had 17 episodes. It will premiere on November 12 at 9 p.m. ET, following Bravo Fan Fest 2026. New episodes will be available to stream on Peacock the following day.
