The wait is over! Season 3 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta is HERE! The season is set to premiere on Oct. 4 at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo! I know that the first episode will feature an into to the new housewives, Cynthia and Phaedra. Lisa Wu Hartwell is all gone!

Aside from meeting the new housewives, Nene and Kim will work on their relationship and drama will surface. Kim will be spilling some of Nene and Greg’s financial situation and the couple will be shown ironing through their marital issues! Kandi has a new man and will vow to go without sex until the end of the year… Not sure about that…

Heres some info on the new ladies from popwatch.com:

Cynthia Bailey: She’s a model who was born in Alabama, has appeared on the cover of Essence magazine, and has a 10-year-old daughter, Noelle.You might remember her from a brief guest role on The Cosby Show (she played a character named Sheniquah Watkins) or her spot as Roxanne opposite Sandra Bernhard in the musical comedy Without You I’m Nothing. This season on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the independent woman will grapple with a marriage ultimatum from her boyfriend of three years, Peter Thomas, and deepen her bond with NeNe.

Phaedra Parks: This friend of Dwight and Kandi’s is an entertainment lawyer—specifically, the managing partner of an Atlanta-based boutique firm that works with entertainers and athletes. She’s a self-proclaimed “Southern Belle,” and does charity, which is a hallmark of the Housewives franchise. Her big storyline this season? She’s married to a younger man, Apollo, who went to prison for a “white collar crime,” and the ladies love to gossip about that. And surprise: Phaedra’s pregnant! Much of her time will be consumed with planning a baby shower. Also worth noting: Phaedra is from the same hometown as spitfire NeNe. Here’s hoping for a little from-the-archives drama between the pair!
