Basketball Wives LA is the Los Angeles based spin-off of Basketball Wives that premiered August 29, 2011, on VH1.[1] It follows the lives of a group of women who have all been somehow romantically linked to professional basketball players. On September 23, 2015, VH1 renewed the series for a fifth season. Season 5 is set to premiere in either June or July 2016 [2]

Production

Basketball Wives LA was revealed on June 20, 2011, with Kimsha Artest, Gloria Govan, Laura Govan, Jackie Christie and Imani Showalter as the cast.[3] Malaysia Pargo and Draya Michele were announced as part of the cast in the series' July 2011 press release.[4] Kimsha Artest stopped showing up for filming because she did not agree with the "shenanigans and drama", which explains why she was not featured in more than one episode.[5] Tanya Williams was to be the eighth official "wife" but left the series after two episodes.[5] The series premiered on August 29, 2011, to 1.81 million viewers.[6]

The second season debuted on September 10, 2012,[7] with the premiere attracting 1.82 million viewers.[8] Imani Showalter did not return because she felt that reality television wasn't for her, and she moved back to New York.[9] Brooke Bailey joined as a main cast member, with Adiz "Bambi" Benson joining in a recurring role.

Creator of the series, Shaunie O'Neal, announced that the series would be receiving a major update for the third season.[10] Filming began in August 2013, with new members added to the mix.[10] Gloria Govan Barnes and her sister Laura Govan confirmed their exit with their own series possibly in the works.[11] Brooke Bailey confirmed via Twitter that she would also not return.[12] Season 3 premiered on February 17, 2014, with Brittish Williams, Brandi Maxiell, and Sundy Carter joining the cast.[13] The third season premiere acquired 1.95 million viewers making it the highest rated premiere for the series and a 1.0 in the adults 18–49 rating demographic.[14]

The fourth season of Basketball Wives LA began production in November 2014 & wrapped in early April 2015. The season premiered on July 12, 2015, moving from Monday to Sunday nights. The fourth season premiere acquired 1.90 million viewers and a 1.0 in the adults 18–49 rating demographic.[15] Mehgan James of Bad Girls Club and executive producer Shaunie O'Neal, joined the cast as main cast members.
