Southern Charm Season 11: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
Fans of Southern Charm can't stop buzzing about what's next for the Charleston crew. With Season 10 wrapping up in March 2025, speculation about Season 11's release date, cast, and plot is heating up. This beloved Bravo reality series, known for its mix of Southern elegance and juicy drama, has kept viewers hooked for over a decade. Here's a deep dive into everything known about Southern Charm Season 11, from when it might hit screens to who's returning and what drama awaits. Release Date Speculation for Southern Charm Season 11
While Bravo hasn't dropped an official premiere date for Southern Charm Season 11, clues from past seasons and recent reports help piece together a likely timeline. The show was officially renewed in May 2025, with filming already wrapped by mid-summer, according to cast social media posts. Historically, Southern Charm seasons follow a pattern—Season 9 premiered in September 2023, and Season 10 followed in December 2024, about 15 months later. The Season 10 trailer dropped in October 2024, suggesting Bravo typically announces new seasons a couple of months before they air.
Following this trend, Season 11 could land between January and March 2026, with a possible announcement in fall 2025. Some fans on Reddit even spotted Shep Rose confirming filming was underway as early as April 2025, hinting at a faster turnaround. If Bravo sticks to a late-year or early-year release, expect new episodes by early 2026, likely airing Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo, with next-day streaming on Peacock. Southern Charm Season 11 Expected Cast
The Southern Charm cast is no stranger to shakeups, and Season 11 is bringing some big changes. Here's who to expect: Shep Rose : The OG Charmer is back, teasing 'never-ending' drama. Despite some fans calling his antics 'overplayed,' Shep's friendships with Craig and Austen will likely fuel tension.
Craig Conover : Fresh off his split with Summer House star Paige DeSorbo in December 2024, Craig's single life could take center stage. He's called Season 11 a 'monster season,' promising big moments.
Austen Kroll : Known for stirring the pot, Austen's dynamic with Shep and Craig is 'rocky' but rooted in love, according to Shep. Expect more of his signature romantic entanglements.
Madison LeCroy : Hosting epic parties and navigating her marriage, Madison's return is confirmed. Her baby shower was a filming hotspot, hinting at her central role.
Venita Aspen : After calling out production for her Season 10 portrayal, Venita's ready to speak her mind. She's confirmed her return and plans to be more vocal.
Rodrigo Reyes : Promoted to full-time cast in Season 10, Rodrigo's balancing his stable home life with drama among friends.
Salley Carson : The Bachelor alum and Season 10 newbie is back, with her tearful Instagram post hinting at end-of-season drama.
Molly O'Connell : A fan favorite for her quirky charm, Molly's return is highly anticipated. Her past with Craig could spark new storylines.
Ryan Albert : As Patricia Altschul's close friend, Ryan's Southern gentleman vibe is set to continue.
Patricia Altschul and Whitney Sudler-Smith: The Grande Dame and her son are expected to return as 'friends' of the cast, delivering their sharp wit and social clout. Potential Surprises
Rumors swirl about possible cameos or new faces. Madison Simon was spotted at LeCroy's baby shower, but sources suggest it's a guest appearance, not a full return. Summer House star Kory Keefer's presence at the same event sparked crossover speculation, especially given his friendship with Craig. Some fans hope for a return of OG cast member Cameran Eubanks to shake things up, though nothing's confirmed. Plot Details: What to Expect from Season 11
Season 11 promises to deliver the drama Southern Charm fans crave, with fresh dynamics and evolving relationships. Here's what's on the horizon: Friendship Fractures and Reconciliation
The trio of Shep, Craig, and Austen is at a crossroads. Shep hinted that while he's 'fine' with each individually, group dynamics are 'rocky.' Season 10's reunion saw Craig called out for his temper, with castmates like Austen claiming he acts superior. Expect Season 11 to explore whether these longtime friends can mend their bonds or if new feuds will erupt. Craig's New Chapter
Craig's split from Paige DeSorbo is a major plot point. Fans are eager to see him navigate the Charleston dating scene as a single man. His passion for gardening and rumored plans to open a wedding venue with Austen could add fresh layers to his storyline. Venita's Voice
Venita's ready to stop holding back. After feeling misrepresented in Season 10, she's promised to share her opinions boldly while keeping it classy. Her dynamic with the group, especially after her fallout with JT, will likely be a focal point. Salley and Molly's Drama
Salley's tearful Instagram post, set to 'I'm a Survivor,' suggests she's at the center of a major Season 11 feud, possibly tied to her past with Taylor's boyfriend, Gaston Rojas. Molly's quirky personality and history with Craig could stir up romantic or friendship drama, especially as she navigates her place in the group. Potential New Storylines
With the cast aging and evolving, Season 11 could focus on their business ventures, like Craig's potential wedding venue or Madison's growing family. Fans on Reddit are clamoring for more authentic friendships and less manufactured drama, which could push Bravo to highlight real connections. There's also buzz about exploring Charleston's culture and history, similar to early seasons.

Peppa Pig Is a Total Brat. Here's Why I'm Fine with My 4-Year-Old Girl Watching Anyway
When my daughter graduated from Ms. Rachel to Peppa Pig, the overall vibes in my home shifted from cloying repetitive singalongs (that no doubt young kids soak up and love) to tea time at Harrod's. We became, dare I say, more sophisticated. My 4-year-old used adjectives like 'quite' and nouns like 'cinema.' The potty was gone; replaced with 'the loo.' So, I was surprised to learn that so many parents have placed Peppa Pig on the no-watch list because the titular character is—gasp!—rude. One Houston mom told The Independent she refuses to let her kids watch because Peppa is bossy, rude and models unkind behavior. Another mother banned the show altogether after her toddler parroted Peppa's go-to insult—'you're not my best friend'—at daycare. Parenting experts have even chimed in: Emma Kenny listed Peppa among the shows that should be switched off for encouraging 'rude family dynamics.' And over on Reddit, parents vent about how Peppa fat-shames Daddy Pig and teaches kids to hang up on their friends mid-call. 'Peppa is an entitled little shit,' says one commenter. Growing up in the '90s, we had our own cartoon witch hunt; my mom banned us from watching Beavis and Butthead because the news said it was making kids do bad things—like burn their own houses down. I was more of a Simpsons fan anyways. And even though Bart Simpson was a 'bad boy' who couldn't stay out of trouble if he tried, despite hours up hours of time with The Simpsons, I never told a teacher to 'eat my shorts' or pranked an entire town by placing a radio in a well and claiming to be a trapped little boy. Oh, and I don't remember anyone saying we shouldn't watch the show because it modeled 'rude family dynamics.' And for anyone who's actually familiar with the Peppa canon, you know that Daddy Pig is the Homer Simpson: a bumbling, donut-guzzling oaf. The posh accent might throw off the scent, but Daddy Pig is written in that same tradition—kindhearted but clueless, forever mocked for his weight or lack of skills. But somehow, it's his confident, imperfect daughter who draws the ire of parents everywhere. A hapless dad is comedy. A sharp-tongued girl is a menace. But honestly? Peppa's not even that sharp-mouthed. Her so-called 'brattiness' amounts to speaking her mind, hanging up on a friend once, and engaging in preschool drama. If you think that's irredeemably bad behavior, I have concerning news: Kids test boundaries. They try on phrases. They say mean things. This is what makes the pearl-clutching about Peppa so revealing. If Homer Simpson or Daddy Pig can be endlessly excused because 'that's just how dads are,' but a 4-year-old piglet experimenting with boundaries is branded an 'entitled little shit,' maybe the problem is our discomfort with girls being anything other than sweet, pliant and agreeable. I'd much rather raise a menace. If my daughter is going to model herself after a cartoon, I'll take a cheeky, loud, pink pig over a cow-towing 'perfect' nothing (looking at you, Angelina Ballerina). She can be rude, opinionated, dramatic—it puts her in a lineage of great loud women. In fact, Amy Poehler recently paid homage to this type of woman on Las Culturistas: 'For me, growing up, there was one woman who I just related to. She just felt very strong. She had a really specific POV. She kinda asked for what she wanted. She always had really good jokes. And that woman was…Miss Piggy.' If my daughter comes out of childhood with a British accent and a little sass, I'll take it. Maybe she'll learn a karate chop from Miss Piggy while she's at it.

Bob Dylan, 84, Stumps Fans With Incredibly Cryptic Post: 'I'm So Confused'
Bob Dylan, 84, Stumps Fans With Incredibly Cryptic Post: 'I'm So Confused' originally appeared on Parade. Bob Dylan has never been a straightforward man. Across his over 60 years of performing, his brand, identity, and process have been nothing short of American legend. The man has been mythologized as far more than just a musician, but a cultural idea that is synonymous with the spirit of the nation. The confusion of Dylan's character has been amplified on social media as he gets into his later years, as there have been many odd posts between his different accounts, including the series of AI videos of various dead figures of American history, including Edgar Allen Poe and Al Capone. Yesterday however, a new cryptic post went up, along with some interesting ads cropping up in cities around the country. The video features a phone number, and the song "Like A Rolling Stone." Fans were extremely confused, taking to the comments to question it. "What does that mean? Can I text it?" "Is this Bob Dylan's actual number?" "I'm so confused." I was confused, too, so I did some more digging to try and figure out what was up, which led me to a Reddit post by some curious Dylan fans. Before I get to the meat of the mystery, I'd like to mention the billboards and posters put up around cities. As a younger Dylan fan, I haven't really seen many announcements from him, so it's really cool to see this modern album rollout style promotion for this new (808) Unknown campaign. 60 Years of Highway 61 Revisited Of course, that leads to what the promotions are for, and that is the 60th anniversary of "Highway 61 Revisited." Contacting the number will eventually lead to this website, which is extremely cool: Highway 61 Revisited. The website has tons of interesting things for Dylan fans, including a personalized playlist and graphic, sections on history, cool interactive elements, and a free downloadable zine about the album. It's a treasure trove for fans of the album. "Highway 61 Revisited" turns 60 years old on August 30th, and I'll be very anxious to see what Dylan and his team have in store for celebrations.🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Bob Dylan, 84, Stumps Fans With Incredibly Cryptic Post: 'I'm So Confused' first appeared on Parade on Aug 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

Black Cowboy joy is spread by 'Boots on the Ground' viral line dance
NEW YORK (AP) — When Tre Little two-stepped in his cowboy boots at the BET Awards preshow this summer, he was overcome with joy and gratitude. 'I used to watch this on TV every year, and I'm now performing,' said the 22-year-old Atlanta-area resident. 'I started crying … tears of joy.' He joined Southern soul singer 803Fresh to perform his massive viral hit, 'Boots on the Ground.' Released in December, the trail ride-inspired song and accompanying line dance have become an anticipated moment at African American gatherings, like family reunions, weddings, graduations, parties and cookouts. The 'Boots on the Ground' dance, which includes the rhythmic clacking of folding hand fans as the South Carolinian belts 'Where them fans at?,' was created by Little during a work lunch break. After hearing a snippet on TikTok, he played around with a routine and posted it, without much thought. 'I usually get my little six views from my family … I took a nap and when I woke up, it was at 100K,' said Little, who is now in demand nationwide teaching line dance classes and hosting events. He has even been approached to create new dances. 'It's bringing people together to do a dance and share laughter.' Beyoncé incorporated the dance into her record-breaking 'Cowboy Carter' tour, and former first lady Michelle Obama and Shaquille O'Neal have publicly participated. Popular line dances are not a new phenomenon, but several factors made this song, which hit No. 1 on both Billboard's adult R&B airplay and R&B digital song sales charts, spread at an unprecedented pace. 'With the new energy toward country music and trail ride music and African Americans' presence in it, I think that opened up America's eyes to what we've been doing down in Louisiana and Texas and Mississippi and Alabama for years,' said recording artist Cupid, known as the Line Dance King and creator of the popular 'Cupid Shuffle' (2007) song and choreography. 'Their eyes have been opened to line dancing and the unity that it brings,' he said. A new take on an old tradition Line dancing features individuals gathered to perform synchronized, repetitive dance moves, generally in lines, and is popular for both socializing and exercise. A major appeal is that there is no age limit or skill requirement, and dances can be learned in real time. There is no consensus on the origins of line dancing. Some historians trace it to African celebratory tribal dances, which extended to enslaved Black Americans who sang or moved in unison during field work. Other scholars trace it to European immigrants who brought traditional folk dances from their native lands. The country western style is performed to country tunes, while soul line dancing is backed by R&B, soul and hip-hop. Along with the 'Cupid Shuffle,' routines to DJ Casper's 'Cha Cha Slide' (2000) and V.I.C.'s 'Wobble' (2008) are canonized in soul line dancing, as well as the most recognized 1972 song, 'Electric Boogie (The Electric Slide)' by Marcia Griffiths. But 'Boots on the Ground' has introduced trail ride line dancing to many Americans outside of the Southeast. Trail rides are socialized horseback processionals traveling to a designated location. In Black Southern culture, it is a party atmosphere with food and dancing, including niche music genres like zydeco and Southern soul, which blends R&B, blues, gospel and country. 'People didn't really know about it. … When something is trending, it makes everybody get on the bandwagon,' said 28-year-old Jakayla Preston, who goes by the handle @_itsjakaylaa on TikTok. A professional dancer, the Houstonian began teaching line dance classes this year after persistent requests from her followers, which intensified following the 'Boots on the Ground' boom. Leading classes across the country, she discovered attendance was about more than foot-taps and turns. 'I have people who are struggling and battling with a lot of things … they'll even sometimes cry and thank me for hosting the class there, or just giving them the experience to be able come and express,' she said. 'It's a feeling that's indescribable.' Line dance with the Beyoncé effect ' Beyoncé probably had a lot to do with that, as far as her 'Cowboy Carter album,'' said Preston, referring to the attention on trail ride line dancing. The Grammy's reigning album of the year sparked conversations about African American contributions to country music and Black cowboy culture, with 'Cowboy Carter' tourgoers frequently dressing the part. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, one of the city's marquee events, broke its attendance record this year, and while there were several factors, many first-timers and social media users said they visited Queen Bey's hometown to experience what she sang about. 'I never seen — ever — that many people that was out there line dancing,' said Preston, who grew up attending the rodeo. 'It's an amazing sight to see.' Sharlene Sinegal-DeCuir, chair of African American and Diaspora Studies at Xavier University in New Orleans, said Beyoncé's impact extends beyond music. 'Country western music: the sound, the banjo, the violin, all those things are African instruments,' said Sinegal-DeCuir, who grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana, line dancing and listening to zydeco. 'She's bringing it to the world to let the world know, no, we're not just getting into country — we are country.' The political line (dance) in the sand Sinegal-DeCuir believes the political climate may have indirectly contributed to the success of 'Boots on the Ground' and interest in line dancing. She notes the 92% of Black women who voted against President Donald Trump, whose policies are disproportionately affecting Black Americans, including eliminating DEI programs, federal agency mass layoffs, and cuts to SNAP benefits, Medicare and Medicaid. 'We know how to survive these things because we lean on family, we lean on community, and this joy,' said Sinegal-DeCuir. 'The world is burning down, and we're sitting here learning a new line dance because we're tired of the political atmosphere … it's a form of resistance.' Cupid remembers a pivotal moment during the social justice movement, sparked by the 2020 killing of George Floyd, a Black man who was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer. He saw a video of a tense exchange between protesters and law enforcement at a rally, and 'Cupid Shuffle' began playing to ease tensions. More social videos were uploaded during that era showing his song played at protests across America. 'I realized the importance of it, as far as connecting two people that don't even see eye to eye,' said the 'Flex' artist, who is readying a new album next month that he says will be the first all-line-dance album. 'If you had to pick three songs that could bring people on two opposite sides of the fence together for a moment, then line dancing is definitely those types of songs.' 'I don't think there's any other genre more powerful than line dance,' he added.
