The Real Housewives of Atlanta is back with some new faces mixing it up among our favorite Georgia Peaches.  Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, NeNe Leakes, Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks all return with "media maven" Claudia Jordan as a new fulltime Housewife. Porsha Williams will recur as a friend of the Housewives alongside newcomer actress-singer Demetria McKinney. The new season, which is sure to be filled with plenty of drama if the trailer above is any indication, kicks off on Sunday, November 9 at 8 p.m. A new season of Fashion Queens follows at 11:30 p.m.

So what's up with the ladies? NeNe has her fashion line and Broadway debut—she'll star opposite Keke Palmer in Cinderella. Meanwhile, Kandi and Todd look to expand their family, Kenya focuses on her producing career and is still thinking about a baby and Cynthia is back and stronger than ever in terms of her health and marriage. If you've been following the news, you know all about Apollo Nida, Phaedra's husband. This season Phaedra is focused on her career and two boys as Apollo faces years behind bars. In the trailer above, there are allegations of affairs and some tense moments for the lawyer.

Newcomer Claudia is a TV and radio host who recently moved from Los Angeles to Atlanta and pals with Kenya. Porsha has a new gig with Dish Nation. You may recognize RHOA's new face Demetria from her work on Tyler Perry's House of Payne and Devious Maids.

After last season's explosive reunion, where do these ladies stand? NeNe and Cynthia are still at odds, Mama Joyce and Todd's mother are still going at it and it looks like NeNe will clash with the new Housewife.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres Sunday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. on Bravo. Fashion Queens kicks off its new season at 11:30 p.m. that same night.
