Bling Empire Season 2 ends with a doozy of a cliffhanger, with cast member Kelly Mi Li’s ex-boyfriend Andrew Gray showing up and knocking on her door just before the credits roll. 

Given that shocker of a finale, it’s probably no surprise that the third season ups the ante on the drama. And with that comes more of what we love so much about Bling Empire: the friendships, the feuds, the family dynamics and, of course, the glamour.

The show has often been touted as a real-life Crazy Rich Asians, and you can expect more of the same energy this season as it chronicles the lives of the wealthy LA socialites we’ve come to know (really know) — Swarovski toilets and all. 

To prepare you for more Bling, let’s dive into all the glittery details.

This season will see the return of many of the familiar faces from Seasons 1 and 2, as well as some new squad members. Though Chèrie Chan and husband Jessey Lee won’t return to the show despite their surprise appearances last season, cast members Anna Shay, Christine Chiu, Guy Tang, Jaime Xie, Kane Lim, Kelly Mi Li, Kevin Kreider, Kim Lee, Leah Qin and Mimi Morris are all back for more bling.

What happens in Bling Empire Season 3?

When we last left off with the cast, Christine is grappling with an unnamed source’s claim that Anna wants to “end” her. Kevin and Kim are at odds after attempting to turn their friendship into something more, and Kane and Kevin’s friendship takes a hit after Kane tells Kim about Kevin’s supposed tryst with another woman. And, of course, Kelly’s ex Andrew comes back into the picture, potentially throwing a wrench into the healing journey she’d undergone during the season. 

Over the course of 10 new 40-minute episodes, the crew navigates the fallout of Season 2’s revelations. Along the way, we see more of Christine’s fertility journey, and the show delves deeper into Kevin’s sobriety journey as well as his exploration into his birth family’s history.

Where does Bling Empire Season 3 take place?

Though the show’s home base remains in LA, it wouldn’t be Bling Empire without a few other exotic locales sprinkled in. This season, we also follow the jet-setting cast to Cabo San Lucas, New York City, San Francisco and Paris (for Paris Fashion Week, naturally).
