We’ve been telling you for weeks that the new season of ‘Basketball Wives‘ was upon us and things were getting hot behind the scenes.
Well on Wednesday VH1 unveiled the first official teaser for season 8 and we’re here for it.
The teaser also reveals the official premiere date, which is set for June 19–a new night for the reality show which normally airs on Mondays. The full season trailer is set to follow in the coming days, but so far, the official cast has been confirmed via VH1 as well as some of what we can expect:
The show is welcoming back longtime cast members Shaunie O’Neal, Evelyn Lozada, Tami Roman, Jackie Christie, Malaysia Pargo and Jennifer Williams. Kristen Scott, Cece Gutierrez and Ogum Chijindu return for their second year, and there will be a new cast member, Feby Torres.
The upcoming 16-episode installment will continue to highlight the women as they balance careers, love, families and friends, but the series is moving to Wednesday instead of its usual Monday showings.
On the motherhood front, O’Neal will focus on second chances and correcting her mistakes after her eldest son’s recent heart surgery; Christie deals with empty nest syndrome as her son heads to college; and Lozada tries to be the best mother to her two children until old habits resurface.
Conflict is still at the heart of the series, and cast members including Roman, Pargo and Williams will be dealing with unresolved confrontations and unsettling rumors.
