Luann de Lesseps Is Returning to Bravo With Her New Reality Show With Sonja Morgan
Fans who are missing the Countess on their screens will see the former RHONY star return to Bravo on her spinoff show with Sonja Morgan, “Luann and Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake.” The spinoff will see the socialites heading to Benton, Illinois, a small town with a population of around 7,000.
According to the show’s description, the two former RHONY stars are invited by the mayor and town council to “boost morale and galvanize the town with new spirit,” Bravo TV reported. They will put on a show at the theater and help revitalize the town while trying to get used to small-town life. “Whether searching for the town’s famous crappie fish in the lake with their bare hands or going mudding with monster trucks, one thing is for certain — with Luann and Sonja in charge and out of their element, hijinks and hilarity are sure to follow,” the description adds.
When the show was announced, Morgan said that she liked that the show was humorous but also about doing positive things for the town. “We do a lot of good things for the town and it was very emotional for us,” she shared, as per Vulture. De Lesseps added, “When I didn’t want to kill her.” The show is set to air sometime in the summer of 2023.
