Your Table’s Ready!

Southern Hospitality follows the lives of a tight-knit group of friends living and working together in Charleston, South Carolina.

At Republic, there’s never a dull shift – where a splash of shade, a pinch of drama and rumours bubbling just beneath the surface keep the party going in the electrifying VIP world.

Leva Bonaparte, the Queen of King Street, and her staff – Joe Bradley, Bradley Carter, TJ Dinch, Michols Peña, Maddi Reese and Lake Rucker – are back, and this summer is one for the books.

Familiar faces Mia Alario, Grace Lilly and Molly Moore also return. The team at Republic also welcomes new hires Justin Assad and Bella Starcher, whose arrivals quickly shake up the dynamic on King Street.

Coming up this season:

Leva Bonaparte
Charleston hospitality mogul Leva Bonaparte continues her quest to conquer King Street and expects her team to operate at peak performance. More involved at Republic than ever, Leva is prepared to lay down the law and hold her staff accountable.
Joe Bradley
VIP Host Joe Bradley has been living his best life as hype man to his DJ girlfriend, following Maddi from gig to gig and putting his job on the back burner. After a tough wake-up call from Leva, Joe begins a journey to reclaim his worth.
Bradley Carter
VIP Server Bradley Carter’s star is on the rise. As his fitness brand, Body by Brad, grows and his personal life flourishes, he remains one of Leva’s most consistent employees. Still, unresolved tension with his former best friend Emmy threatens to disrupt his momentum.
TJ Dinch
Bartender TJ Dinch is serving up more than drinks this summer. His Sir Wieners hot dog venture has impressed Leva and made waves in the Charleston food scene. When he mixes business and pleasure, however, the lines between him and Michols become blurred.
Michols Peña
Assistant General Manager Michols Peña continues to call the shots at Republic, but there’s a crack in his reign after a workplace meltdown. Newly single and riding high, Michols’ newfound confidence may ruffle some feathers.
Maddi Reese
DJ and VIP Server Maddi Reese should be flying high after a cross-country DJ tour, but she’s still reeling from last year’s revelations. Tensions flare as she grapples with complicated feelings for some of her co-workers, including her boyfriend.
Lake Rucker
VIP Host Lake Rucker continues to charm guests at the front door of Republic. Quick to make friends with her bubbly demeanour, she struggles when those closest to her begin to question where her loyalties lie.
Emmy Sharratt
For VIP Server Emmy Sharratt, life is going according to plan. Newly engaged and planning her dream wedding, Emmy is prioritising herself and leaning on those closest to her, though lingering hurt from last year’s rumours isn’t easily forgotten.
Justin Assad
After years abroad, new VIP Host Justin Assad returns to Charleston. A friend of TJ, he quickly impresses Leva and the ladies in town. But after dropping one too many love bombs, Justin finds himself tangled in love triangles and reminded just how small Charleston really is.
Mia Alario
Former Republic hostess Mia Alario remains a fixture of King Street. Whether working the wiener booth for one bestie or dishing gossip over martinis with another, Mia is never far from the drama – especially when things take a turn in her long-time relationship.
Grace Lilly
It doesn’t look like a drama-free summer is in the cards for former VIP Host Grace Lilly after she finds herself back in hot water from a joke gone too far. As she’s left to pick up the pieces once again, “Wavy Baby” struggles to find a solid footing within the group and her personal life.
Molly Moore
Former Republic bartender Molly Moore may have left the building, but she hasn’t gone far. Booked and busy with her event planning business by day and partying in VIP by night, Molly is done holding back. When her once-solid friendship with Michols is tested, she’s ready to speak her truth.
Bella Starcher
New VIP Server Bella Starcher is a hospitality veteran brought into the fold through her connection to Michols and wastes no time finding her place among the staff.
