OWN has released the trailer for 'Love & Marriage: Huntsville' Season 12, offering a first look at the drama coming to the new season. The Carlos King-produced reality series returns with Destiny Payton, Kimmi Scott, Maurice Scott, Martell Holt, Nell Fletcher, Chris Fletcher, LaTisha Scott, and Marsau Scott. Season 12 premieres on Saturday, September 12, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on OWN. The new season follows the cast as they navigate major changes affecting their relationships, families, and careers.
Martell Holt enters the season with several personal and professional milestones. He earns his builder's license, but a surprise introduction to the group threatens to upend existing dynamics and test Martell’s friendship with Destiny Payton. Curry had a years-long affair with Martell while he was married to Melody Shari. The pair later welcomed a son, Maverick.
Curry has remained outspoken about her relationship with Martell. She has publicly called him a ‘narcissist’ and ‘liar’ and criticized him on social media. Season 12 marks her first major appearance within the show's group after years of being discussed by the cast. The trailer revisits Martell and Curry's past through flashback footage. It then shifts toward questions surrounding Martell's friendship with Destiny.
Several cast members hint at speculation that Martell and Destiny may have previously been romantically involved. The tension grows after Curry calls Martell her 'best friend.' Nell Fletcher challenges that claim during the trailer. She says she believed Destiny held that position in Martell's life. Curry and Destiny later meet face-to-face. Their conversation quickly becomes tense after Curry claims Destiny's son did not get into the same school as her child.
Marsau and LaTisha Scott enter Season 12 while preparing to mark their 20th wedding anniversary. The milestone comes after the couple suffers the devastating loss of their first residential investment property. Chris and Nell Fletcher face a different family challenge after Nell becomes a full-time caregiver for her aging father, bringing new responsibilities into their lives.
While Maurice and Kimmi Scott adjust to life as empty nesters. Their storyline centers on unexpected changes and concerns surrounding Maurice's son Monster's future. The series posted strong ratings during its previous season. OWN reported double-digit growth across key demographics compared with the prior season. The network ranked the show as the No. 1 original cable series on Saturday nights among African-American women aged 25 to 54. Kingdom Reign Entertainment and ITV America produce 'Love & Marriage: Huntsville'. Carlos King, Jordana Hochman, Andrew Hoagland, and Markus Burns serve as executive producers.
