Southern Charm season 9 is coming soon, and the cast of the newest season has finally been announced. As a long-running series for Bravo, Southern Charm is one of the most well-known shows on the network, always quick to bring a new level of drama season after season. Though the show has shifted through its years on the network, it's always shown a different side to life in the South and provided some incredible moments with cast members, old and new. Heading toward a milestone season, Southern Charm season 9 looks like it's pulling out all the stops when it comes to its cast.

With the return of Venita Aspen, Leva Bonaparte, Craig Conover, Olivia Flowers, Taylor Ann Green, Austen Kroll, Madison LeCroy, and Shep Rose, Southern Charm season 9 will have some familiar faces. The series will welcome Rod Razavi and Jarrett “JT” Thomas, who are new to the show and see long-time friend Rodrigo Reyes join in as part of the main cast. As always, matriarch Patricia Altschul and her son Whitney Sudler-Smith will return to supporting roles for the series. As long-time fans of Southern Charm know, the larger the cast, the more drama to expect.

Craig Conover

As one of the original cast members of Southern Charm, viewers have seen Craig through a lot. From his rocky relationship with Naomi Olindo to his long-time friendship with Shep, Craig has grown up on the show and is entering a brand-new phase of his life with his girlfriend, Summer House star Paige DeSorbo. This season, Craig seems to be dealing with his desire to settle down with Paige, who may not be ready to move down south permanently.

Austen Kroll

Austen has been a part of the cast since Southern Charm season 4, and viewers have been watching him slowly move toward a breakthrough for years. After his most recent hot-and-cold relationship with Olivia seemed to freeze entirely, Austen has finally decided to do the work he needs to do on himself. Southern Charm season 9 will see Austen heading to therapy to address his problems and beginning to question his relationships as he moves towards resolving things within himself.

Shep Rose

Another original cast member of Southern Charm, many have been watching Shep as he moves through his life for years. A well-known bachelor, some thought Shep would finally settle down with Taylor after the two started dating. When Shep and Talor broke up, it wasn't necessarily believed to be for good even if their ending was explosive. Southern Charm season 9 will see Shep returning to South Carolina after some long travels and questioning if it's truly the right fit for him.

Madison LeCroy

Although Madison has been part of the cast on and off since Southern Charm season 2, many only just started getting to know her in more recent years. Splitting her time between South Carolina and California, Madison is reveling in her newly wedded bliss this season. She'll be focused on herself and her friendships throughout Southern Charm season 9, standing up for what she believes in as per usual.

Venita Aspen

As one of the newer faces on Southern Charm, Venita has been a great add for the cast over the last several seasons. After hanging around the background of the cast for some time, Venita will be front and center for Southern Charm season 9. As she navigates her relationship with her new boyfriend along with her friendships and followers, Venita is in for quite a season.

Olivia Flowers

As Austen's most recent ex, Olivia has become a permanent resident in Charleston despite the breakup and is hoping to make some fast friends around town. With Austen confused by his breakup with Olivia, things may not be as easy as they appear for her. She'll be navigating her newfound single life in the wake of a family tragedy throughout Southern Charm season 9.

Taylor Ann Green

Taylor is still getting her legs beneath her from her breakup with Shep when Southern Charm season 9 begins. With Olivia, her best friend, dealing with similar breakup drama, the two will be major systems of support for one another as they get back on their feet. For Taylor, being single is the opportunity of a lifetime in Charleston, and she'll be making the most of it this season.

Leva Bonaparte

As the owner of some of the most popular bars in Charleston and the makeshift big sister of several of the cast members, Leva truly has her work cut out for her. Throughout Southern Charm season 9, she'll be offering sage advice to the cast and keeping her own family, complete with one child, together as she navigates the busy business world. For Leva, keeping everyone settled is a full-time job.

Jarrett "JT" Thomas

Newcomer Jarrett "JT" Thomas has been a long-time friend of Craig, Austen, and Shep, but he hopes to expand his social circle in Charleston. On Southern Charm season 9, Jarrett will be pursuing romance. While he doesn't have the greatest role models in his circle of friends, he's already got someone from Southern Charm on his mind when it comes to love.

Rodrigo Reyes

As a long-time friend of the Southern Charm cast, Rodrigo is excited to join the cast himself rather than sitting on the sidelines. Rodrigo has been in the lives of many of the main cast members for over a decade, and as he continues in his relationship with his boyfriend, Tyler, he's been a great sounding board for the relationship drama on Southern Charm. He'll be a great resource to keep the cast grounded during a dramatic season.

Rod Razavi

Rod has been in the Charleston area for nearly 20 years, and as a friend to the majority of the Southern Charm cast, he's hoping to spread his wings when it comes to joining the series. As a computer programmer, Rod has a high level of intelligence and is truly a Southern gentleman after years out of the dating pool. Though it may not be couth for him around Austen, Southern Charm season 9's newcomer has his romantic sights on Olivia.
