‘Belle Collective’: What To Expect From Season 5

The fierce and fabulous women of “Belle Collective” are back, ready to turn up the heat in the latest season premiering on Friday, November 1, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.

This season, we’ll once again follow the lives of these powerhouse women as they break barriers, both personally and professionally, while redefining what it means to be a Southern belle in the heart of Jackson, Mississippi.

Returning to the fold are the dynamic Belles: Tambra Cheri, Marie Hamilton-Abston, Aikisha Holly-Colon, Lateshia Pearson, Latrice Rogers, and the one and only Sophia O. Williams, better known as “Sogucci.”

These women are more than just business moguls; they are symbols of Black female entrepreneurship, grace, and grit in the modern South.

Balancing their booming businesses, charity work, and personal lives, these ladies prove that being a Southern belle is all about combining elegance with a bit of sass.

This season promises even more drama and excitement:

• Selena Johnson joins the Collective, and her arrival sets tongues wagging. As she works to repair her children’s relationship with their father, she also faces legal challenges from her ex-husband’s wife, longtime Belle, Sogucci.
• The group is still trying to move past last season’s explosive reunion, but with Selena’s entry, tensions flare between her, her ex-husband JJ, and Sogucci.
• Lateshia is juggling her career and home life, but her husband Glen’s latest decision might have lasting consequences for their marriage.
• Aikisha rallies the ladies for a “Collective Correction” on Farish Street in an attempt to squash the ongoing drama. She’s also dealing with the challenges of menopause, which brings unexpected changes to her relationship with her husband Willie.
• Marie is navigating family strife, including resentments from her cousins. As she works on expanding her empire and pursuing a doctorate, an unexpected tragedy strikes close to home.
• Latrice, finding herself on the outs with the Collective, gathers allies, even bringing back a former Belle, raising eyebrows all around. She and her husband are also launching two new businesses, but their partnership is put to the test.
• New mom Tambra is fiercely protective of her baby, London-Symone, limiting who can interact with her child. Her approach doesn’t sit well with Aikisha and Lateshia, leading to more tension. Tired of the ongoing drama, Tambra steps up to rebuild some bridges.
• Meanwhile, Sogucci takes on the emotional task of trying to mend her husband JJ’s relationship with his three daughters, all while navigating the uncomfortable presence of JJ’s ex-wife and newest Belle, Selena.

To gear up for this exciting season, OWN is introducing “FlashBelle Fridays,” a special companion series for die-hard “Belle Collective” fans.

Executive producer and creator Carlos King sits down with OG Belle Dr. Antoinette Liles and new Belle Selena every Friday at 9 p.m. ET/PT to revisit iconic episodes, share juicy behind-the-scenes moments, and even spill a few surprises.

And with Selena mixing up a new specialty drink each week, the fun and laughs are sure to keep flowing.

Watch the trailer below.

“Belle Collective” is produced by Kingdom Reign Entertainment, with Carlos King, Rajah Ahmed, Brent Nisbett, and Jon Collins serving as executive producers.

Buckle up—this season is going to be one wild ride!
