Fans of ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac‘ were saddened to see Monique Samuels depart the show following all of season 5’s explosive drama, but now the reality star and her hubby, Chris Samuels are heading back to reality TV with a few other DMV locals thanks to one of our faves, Carlos King.
According to new reports from TV Deets, the Samuels’ will be joining a few other couples for OWN’s upcoming ‘Love & Marriage: Huntsville’ spin-off, ‘Love & Marriage: DMV’ set to air in 2022.
LAMDMV will see the cast hopping around the area as viewers are introduced to their businesses and families. It is the second show in what is now a Love & Marriage franchise, with the original series Love & Marriage: Huntsville recently wrapping a very successful third season.
Not only will Monique and her husband Chris Samuels be starring on the show but she is actually responsible for forming the new group of friends in the first place. Joining Monique for Season 1 are Erana and James Tyler, Ashley Brittney and Roberto Silva, and Tasha and Neil Lyons, sources close to production confirm exclusively to TV Deets.
Monique is now at the center of the D.C. area-group. Much like her storyline on RHOP, LAMDMV is set to focus on the couple’s marriage, family, and businesses.
Described as entrepreneurs, Erana and James are expected to bring the drama. In addition to a busy family life, the two always make time to hit the D.C. party scene and are involved in credit consulting, real estate, and run an online women’s clothing store called iVision Boutique.
Tasha and Neil are two parts of the mother-father-daughter real estate team The Lyons Den Group, a real estate firm serving both D.C. and Maryland. Tasha is also a celebrity hairstylist and has worked with Monique in the past.
In addition to hosting a podcast called Fun Times Moms, Ashley is a serial “mompreneur”, author, and runs an online children’s store called Fashion Ashton. Her husband, Roberto, is better known as DJ Quicksilva, host of the Quick Silva Show on 93.9 WKYS FM in Washington, D.C.
According to a source close to production, LAMDMV officially begins filming in January and is from Kingdom Reign Entertainment, the production company led by Carlos King that is also behind LAMH. Bravo fans will remember King as a former executive producer of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Love & Marriage: Huntsville has become a big hit for OWN and features the personal and professional lives of three influential African-American couples as they revitalize Huntsville, Alabama, and Love & Marriage DMV is expected to follow the same successful format.
Love & Marriage: Huntsville Season 4 and Love & Marriage Season 1 are both expected to premiere in 2022.
With Carlos in the driver’s seat, and these DMV notables we’re all in for it! Stay tuned.
