Summer's supposed to be fun, but that's not how it will play out in the upcoming season of Summer House for Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke. The formerly engaged couple's split played out in real time while the Bravo show was filming in mid-2022, and on Thursday Bravo released the first season 8 trailer showing the dissolution of the relationship between the Loverboy partner, 38, and the PR maven, 37.

Low waters and high temperatures dominate Season 15 of the History original. “Swamp People” is back Thursday with perhaps its most challenging season to date. The Season 15 teaser, obtained exclusively by TheWrap, reveals low water levels, record high temperatures and a higher-than-ever number of alligators that can be tagged. To combat these environmental hurdles, the hunters will have to get creative this season.

While the Vanderpump Rules drama from Scandoval may have gotten a ton of publicity this year, one of the true stars of the Bravo universe was quietly going about its business offering an inside look at a much more interesting and deeply connected community. In the criminally underappreciated Family Karma, the multi-generational cast has known each other for decades, which gives their trials and tribulations with each other real stakes. Filled with fun, family, and plenty of drama, Family Karma is one of the most authentic series on TV.

…A few days later, The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 8 debuted on November 5, scoring 2.1M total viewers in its first seven days. About a million of those viewers came from the 18-49 demo. According to NBCU, that’s the show’s most-watched season premiere in eight years in terms of total viewers, up 15% from the Season 7 debut.

 The RHOP Season 8 premiere was also up 20% among adults 18-49, marking the show’s best premiere demo audience in three years. It’s also the most-watched RHOP episode ever on Peacock, ranking No. 6 against all next-day NBCU cable entertainment season premieres.

Ink Master is back for a brand new season that's taking things to a "new level" in terms of tattooing and challenges. Ahead of the Nov. 1 premiere of the first three episodes on Paramount+, Ink Master judge Nikko Hurtado opened up to PopCulture.com about the season to come, including the addition of three-time winner DJ Tambe to the judging panel. 

With Tambe joining returning judges Hurtado and Ryan Ashley, Hurtado told PopCulture there's a new dynamic on the panel. "DJ's such a great tattooer, great artist, and so well-spoken," he gushed. "So to get his critiques and to hear him speak to these artists that respect him tremendously was great to watch." It was a treat to judge the 15 artists competing for the title of Ink Master and $250,000 this season, Hurtado noted, as the show always brings things to a "new level" artistically and in terms of the "twists and turns" awaiting the competitors.
