‘Basketball Wives’ may be long gone but ‘Basketball Wives LA‘ is thriving for VH1 with all the drama that went down from the exit of Draya Michele and the additions of Tami Roman and Shaunie O’ Neal. Now VH1 has announced that the hit series has been picked up for one more season, that’s right we get more drama for a fifth season next year.

Via the official press release:

VH1 is taking no timeouts with “Basketball Wives: LA.” The network announced the hit reality series is picked up for a fifth season.

The fourth season of “Basketball Wives: LA” has made VH1 the #1 cable network on average in the Sunday 9PM time period with Women 18-34.* In addition, the 9PM premiere episodes have posted triple digit gains with the demo versus year ago levels* (+157%).

“Basketball Wives: LA” season four was explosive. Draya Michele, Malaysia Pargo, Brandi Maxiell, and Jackie Christie returned to the court ready for drama. And Queen Bee and Executive Producer, Shaunie O’Neal, joined the LA crew this season to try to keep the peace. Jackie brought in friend and basketball girlfriend, Mehgan James. Also joining the clique was wife of player Eddy Curry and Malaysia’s friend, Patrice Curry, as well as Draya’s friend, fashion designer and ex- girlfriend of Tyreke Evens, Angel Brinks. Between the new personalities, major life challenges, and old resentments, even Shaunie soon realized that the LA ladies are a very challenging group. When her old time East coast buddy, Tami Roman, joined the cast, the Basketball Wives: Miami / LA cast divide was set in stone. Don’t miss the fourth season finale on Sunday, October 4th at 9PM ET/PT and catch up with ladies on the Reunion Special on Sunday, October 11th at 9PM ET/PT.

No word on who will be coming back but Draya already confirmed in a recent interview and on Twitter that she will not be returning after her sudden exit this season. I’m more than positive that Tami, Shaunie and Jackie will be back while Malaysia and Brandi are up in the air due to their beefs with Tami and Shaunie.

I certainly hope they both return as they are two of my faves on the show. I also have a strong feeling Evelyn Lozada will be returning to the brand that made her a household name after she recently alluded that she wouldn’t completely rule it out as we told you HERE.

That’s not all, it looks as though Shaunie and Tami are working together to launch a new spin off to the franchise. Tami has put together a potential Houston cast and Shaunie is shopping the show as of now.

Shaunie tells the Jasmine Brand:

“We have a Houston cast that we put together. We haven’t sold it but it’s shopping right now….It’s a good cast so I hope the network likes it…

“Tami [Roman] actually put the cast together and brought it to me so, if it’s in Houston, Ms. Tami will have producer credit. How ’bout that?”

Go head Tami, we’re here for that! Here’s looking forward to more drama, drink tossing, and wig pulling!
