Due to the ongoing pandemic, production for the 'Love & Hip Hop' franchise was put on pause during the beginning of 2020, which eventually forced the series to stop airing for the first time in a span of six years. VH1 announced 'Love & Hip Hop: It's a Love Thing', in December of last year. The series would feature various 'Love & Hip Hop' couples. To follow suit would be 'VH1 Family Reunion: Love & Hip Hop Edition'; a spin-off show that'd showcase cast members from all four cities of New York, Atlanta, Hollywood, and Miami.
