Strap down your wigs, ladies and gentlemen, as #RHOA prepares to hit a high note with a country crooner and her husband, a plant-based boss babe, a certain Housewife’s lady love, and that long-denied songstress skirmish.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is back for season 17, and Bravo is promising fiercer vibes, fresh faces, and familiar feuds when the franchise returns Sunday, April 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Episodes will stream the next day on Peacock.

As previously reported, returning Housewives include Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Drew Sidora, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Angela Oakley, and Kelli Ferrell. Joining the mix are award-winning entrepreneur Pinky Cole, the powerhouse behind Slutty Vegan, and Billboard chart-topper-turned-country-crooner K. Michelle. Fan favorite Cynthia Bailey is also back as a friend.

#RHOA Season 17 Trailer Features Fresh Faces

Bravo teases that season 17 is “wilder than ever,” with friendships pushed to their limits and Atlanta hotter, bolder, and more unpredictable.

In the trailer, we see that it’s tea time for a group of beautiful dolls who “really tried to be good.”

The decorum quickly goes out the window, however, as the dolls swap Hennessy for tea amid allegations of “eating dead people,” sleeping with a married man and someone being called “Mr. Clean” and “Papa Smurf.”

“And when the tea is poured, that’s when the dolls come alive,” says the narrator.

K. Michelle makes her first appearance in the trailer, dubbing Atlanta “Black Hollywood” before Porsha talks about her love triangle. The openly bisexual Housewife is seen cuddled up with Mike Anthony and says she “didn’t expect God to send a 6’5″ tall man with big arms and tattoos.”
