Shep Rose is confirmed to return in Season 12 of the reality show. Bravo has offered a glimpse into his storyline, noting that, “Caught between where he wants to be and where he’s been, Shep is working on bettering himself, but is forced to confront some harsh realities after ‘the one that got away’ reemerges and old alliances are put to the test.”

Craig Conover will also be featured in the new installment. As per the streamer, “Back in Charleston and ready to rebuild, Craig prepares to add author to his resume with his first children’s book. He finds himself cautiously reentering a friendship with Austen, which threatens to derail some others.”

Austen Kroll is back for the show’s upcoming season, and Bravo teases that he is “on top of the world. He and Salley seem to be happily friends with benefits, and his friendship with Craig is easy and carefree, finally. But when feelings change and hard truths are dropped, Austen is forced to reevaluate his closest relationships.”

Fans will see Madison LeCroy again when the series returns. In Season 12, “Madison is juggling it all as a mom of two and successful business owner with a husband who travels constantly, a situation she finds more challenging than expected.”

Salley Carson is also part of the cast for the new season. As per Bravo, “Salley’s interest in Austen remains strong, but she’s trying to come to terms with the fact that it might not become something more. This realization puts strain on the rest of Salley’s friendships within the group.”

Venita Aspen is rejoining her fellow cast members for another season. Bravo also gave fans a hint about what she will be dealing with this season, revealing, “Venita hosts the first party of the season and introduces the group to Allie. As she continues to navigate her friendship with Salley, she makes a revealing confession that helps to explain their complicated dynamic.”

Viewers can expect to see Molly O’Connell as well in the new season. Her “music career continues to take off as she tries her hand at songwriting and playing the guitar. After a surprising romantic turn, her status within the group is tested and her allies seem to be caught up in their own scandals.”

Whitner Slagsvol is also coming back to the reality show, and he “begins the season drawing interest from multiple women in the group, but shifting feelings and growing rumors soon complicate his position.”

Rodrigo Reyes is among the familiar faces coming back for Season 12. He “continues to be the glue that holds these friends together, but he’s quick to hold everyone accountable for their secrets and betrayals.”

There is going to be a newcomer in the upcoming installment. Allie Newman is making her debut in Season 12, and she’s bringing trouble with her. Bravo teases that, “Allie joins the group and immediately, yet inadvertently, causes multiple Charmers to butt heads. She sets in motion a series of events that will uncover one of Charleston’s most scandalous and well-kept secrets.”
