Kandi Burruss is sharing details about her upcoming new Bravo series, which will focus on her Atlanta restaurant, Old Lady Gang.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star says that the new Bravo show “is actually starting filming soon, and it will be coming in the fall, this year.”
The mother-of-three also makes it clear that her series will not be similar to Lisa Vanderpump's Vanderpump Rules show.
“I think the similarity is that she has restaurants, I have restaurants, and we're both Housewives. OK, great. I think that's where the similarities stop,” Kandi told Entertainment Tonight. “You definitely will get to know some of the people that actually work at the restaurant. Some people may or may not know, I do have some family members that you may not have gotten a chance to know from Real Housewives that do work at the restaurant, so you'll probably see some of them. You're going to see some of the people that... Listen, we have some spicy people at work at OLG. Some of them are way more interesting than me, so I cannot wait for you to get to meet them.”
Burruss says she, her husband, Todd Tucker, and the women who make up the restaurant’s namesake -- her mother, Joyce, and Joyce's sisters -- will also be heavily featured on the soon-to-shoot series.
“They're going to come through, for real,” Kandi says of all the cast members that viewers will meet on the OLG show.
In May 2021, Bravo confirmed that Burruss had landed a new spin-off show based on her Old Lady Gang restaurant. The upcoming series' current working title is Kandi OLD Project.
“Kandi OLG Project (WT)” – Premieres Late 2021
In this new occu-series, we'll watch as Kandi, Todd and the Old Lady Gang (comprised of Mama Joyce, and Aunts Nora & Bertha) continue to build their restaurant empire while keeping their over-the-top and opinionated staff in line and making their vision come to fruition. The new series follows the staff in and out of the restaurant, witnessing how workplace slights bleed into their social lives. Everyone at OLG has a passion – be it for dancing, comedy or just to follow in Kandi's mogul footsteps, and these dreams can get in the way of running food and ensuring customers don't leave those dreaded one-star Yelp reviews. And the fact that some are single and constantly flirting with the cute clientele – and each other – doesn't exactly help things either. It's a monumental task to face, but if anyone can do it, it's Kandi!
