‘Love & Hip Hop’: At Least Two New Spinoffs Are Reportedly Coming to VH1 and One Is Confirmed
After production was halted due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Love & Hip Hop franchise is coming back to VH1 and there will be some new spinoffs/specials with its return. The network has given what is the first update on the show’s production since Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta had to wrap the season early as the pandemic swept across the globe.
The first spinoff is a reunion series
The first Love & Hip Hop spinoff is a reunion special which will be four parts. It is titled Love & Hip Hop: Secrets Unlocked and it is the first time that the franchise will feature members from all four of the main series (Love & Hip Hop: New York, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood and Love & Hip Hop: Miami) together.
Here’s the official description per the network: For the first time in franchise history, iconic Love & Hip Hop cast members from all four cities will virtually unite to reflect on never-before-seen casting footage, behind-the-scenes secrets, messy entanglements, epic breakups and a look back at the most unforgettable trips and unresolved drama from New York, to Atlanta, down to Miami and Hollywood.
The four-part special is hosted by Kendall Kyndall and was taped virtually. VH1 says that it will “give fans an exclusive look at Mendeecees’ reunion with Yandy Smith-Harris for the very first time since being released from prison. Additionally, Ray J and Princess Love appear together to discuss their current situation and Erica Mena and Safaree Samuels open up about their relationship woes.”
The first part will air on Jan. 4 at 8 p.m. on VH1 while the others will air on dates that have yet to be determined.
