The network dropped a teaser along with a list of the cast members who are new and returning for the season. The teaser is only 30 seconds, and you can’t tell what the main storylines will be so far, but it looks like there will be some shocking plotlines in the mix.

Things in the trailer include Skyy talking about being kidnapped, Gates talking about potentially going to jail, and Scrappy telling Momma Dee that she needs to let something go. It also looks like Momma Dee was taken to the hospital for some reason.
