‘Belle Collective’ Renewed For Season 6 At OWN
EXCLUSIVE: Reality series Belle Collective is returning.
OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network has renewed the series for Season 6. It comes as Season 5 of the show is currently airing and is prepping for a two-part reunion on December 27 and January 3.
Tambra Cheri, Marie Hamilton-Abston, Aikisha Holly-Colon, Lateshia Pearson, Latrice Rogers, Sophia O. Williams aka “Sogucci” and Selena Johnson star in the series, which follows the group of entrepreneurs as they represent their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi, showcasing the very best of Black female entrepreneurship in the South.
The current season is achieving double-digit growth over its prior season on Friday nights with women 25-54, climbing +25% in the demo and ranking as the number two cable program on Friday nights with African-American Women 25-54, according to the network.
Belle Collective is produced by Kingdom Reign Entertainment with Carlos King, Rajah Ahmed, Brent Nisbett and Jon Collins as executive producers.
King told Deadline earlier this year that he wanted more Black reality shows to be produced by Black producers.
“There’s a lot of African American-based shows in the world. 99% of them are produced by white-owned production companies. White-owned production companies are doing a great job of producing the Black unscripted shows but, for me, how special would it be for a show to represent the owner of the company so that we’re able to really have the ability to not only understand storytelling, but understand the culture in which the storytelling is happening,” he said.
