Southern Charm, Bravo's beloved reality series chronicling the lives of Charleston's elite social circle, is making its grand return for its milestone tenth season on December 5th.
The show has captivated audiences with its perfect blend of Southern hospitality and dramatic confrontations since its inception. Season 10 of Southern Charm promises a fresh take as the once-rowdiest group attempts to pivot toward business, family, and health – though growing pains are inevitable.
With three newcomers joining the cast (Salley Carson, Molly O'Connell, and Ryan Albert) and two familiar faces departing Southern Charm (Olivia Flowers and Rod Razavi), the show's dynamics are set for a shake-up. From Madison LeCroy's hosting duties to Craig Conover's expanding business empire, this season promises to showcase Charleston's finest in all their dramatic glory.
Meet the cast of Southern Charm Season 10
Madison LeCroy (Returning cast)
Our resident southern belle enters her first year of marriage to Brett Randle while dealing with the profound loss of her father. She's kicking off this season of Southern Charm by hosting the first party, though her involvement in JT-related drama suggests she hasn't lost her knack for stirring the pot.
Austen Kroll (Returning cast)
The beer entrepreneur is finally settling down with a long-distance girlfriend while attempting to revive his business. However, his friendship with former partner-in-crime Craig has hit rocky waters, suggesting we're in for some bromance drama.
Shep Rose (Returning cast)
Fresh from an enlightening ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica, Shep claims he's ready for real personal growth in this season of Southern Charm. He's fallen for the former Miss Bahamas, though his friends seem skeptical about the relationship's future – a classic Shep situation.
JT Thomas (Returning cast)
The outspoken rabble-rouser returns but doesn't stick around, quitting with just a few interviews left in post-production. Before his departure, he manages to stir up plenty of controversy while forming a special bond with Venita.
Venita Aspen (Returning cast)
After ending things with boyfriend Manny, Venita finds herself unexpectedly drawn to JT. She's forced to navigate this potential romance while maintaining friendships with those who aren't exactly in JT's fan club.
Craig Conover (Returning cast)
Thriving professionally and personally, Craig is convinced Paige DeSorbo is "The One." However, his long-standing friendships with both Austen and Shep are on shaky ground as he ventures into new business territory in this season of Southern Charm.
Leva Bonaparte (Returning cast)
Despite rumors of her departure, Leva returns as the group's voice of reason. She's juggling her main show duties while also starring in her spinoff, Southern Hospitality, centered around her Republic Garden & Lounge.
Rodrigo Reyes (Returning cast)
The former background player steps into the spotlight, balancing his home life with his partner while navigating friend group drama. He's not afraid to pick sides and speak his mind.
Taylor Ann Green (Returning cast)
Post-Shep era Taylor is embracing new love with a Charleston local, though her romantic choice has everyone talking. She's setting firm boundaries with past flames and friendships to protect her newfound happiness.
Whitney Sudler-Smith (Returning cast)
The show's producer and occasional on-screen presence continues to find himself entangled in the group's drama, maintaining his unique position as both insider and observer.
Patricia Altschul (Returning cast)
Charleston's Grande Dame returns in full force after being bedridden in season nine. Recently sharing the sad news of her longtime butler Michael Kelcourse's passing, Patricia continues to deliver her straight-shooting guidance to the group.
Salley Carson (New addition)
The former Bachelor contestant (from Clayton Echard's season) brings an intriguing mix to the show as a robotics technician by day and party girl by night, sharing a curious romantic history parallel with Taylor.
Molly O'Connell (New addition)
A Charleston native returning home after an international modeling career, Molly brings her unfiltered personality and complicated history with the group's male members to the mix.
Ryan Albert (New addition)
Joining with his husband Dr. Eddie Irions, Ryan represents Charleston's elite social circle as a true Southern gentleman. The couple, who met on Instagram and married in 2021, are close friends with Patricia.
Olivia Flowers (Not returning)
Though not returning for season 10, Olivia's departure wasn't her choice. Production cited her frequent absence from Charleston and a new relationship with Alex Williams (now her fiancé) as reasons for the decision.
Rod Razavi (Not returning)
After joining in season nine and briefly dating Olivia, Rod confirms his departure from the show, updating his Instagram bio to read "Former Reality TV guy."
With this eclectic mix of personalities navigating love, friendship, and ambition in Charleston's high society, Southern Charm's tenth season promises to be its most compelling yet.
