If you need receipts, proof, timeline and screenshots to tell you when The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is coming back for Season 5, you’ve come to the right place.
The hit Bravo series is set to return on Wednesday, Sept. 18 with full-time stars Heather Gay, Mary Cosby, Whitney Rose, Meredith Marks, Lisa Barlow and Angie Katsanevas. Newbie Bronwyn Newport, a years-long friend of Barlow who was excommunicated from the Mormon church after she got pregnant while attending BYU, is set to replace Season 4 breakout star Monica Garcia, who was let go from the series after she was shockingly outed for running the Reality VonTease Instagram account.
While Garcia might be out of the mix, the drama is set to serve just as smoothly as VIDA tequila on the rocks.
Barlow and Marks vow to have each other’s backs, though the former grows strained from Rose over hurtful remarks she made about Barlow’s status as the “villain” within their friend group. Barlow, for her part, retaliates with rumors about the authenticity of Rose’s business practices, ultimately putting their husbands at odds with one another.
Marks — who will throw herself a bat mitzvah this season — also finds herself in hot water as she gets in on the gossip about Rose and her business.
Meanwhile, Cosby seems to make amends with both Rose and Gay, whom she previously described as looking “inbred.” However, their truce only lasts so long as the two women spar over body positivity.
Katsanevas, on the other hand, forms an unlikely bond with Cosby as her friendship with Barlow begins to slip through the cracks. As they trade blows over their friendship, Katsanevas questions how good of a mother Barlow has been with her son away on his mission trip.
The show will also introduce two new friends: Meili Workman and Britani Bateman.
Excited? I know we are. Salt Lake City and New York City-based fans of the show will even have an opportunity to attend the next Watch Party by Bravo event, which will offer an early screening of the Season 5 premiere on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 premieres on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. New episodes premiere the next day on Peacock.
