Get ready to welcome back the Braxton family! After a nearly four-year break, Toni, Towanda, Trina, Tamar, and the unforgettable Ms. E are making their return to reality TV with The Braxtons. Premiering last week on WeTV, this highly anticipated series brings back the drama, laughs, and heartfelt moments that fans have missed.

Exclusive Peek Inside the Braxton Family
In an exclusive interview with PopViewers, Trina and Towanda Braxton gave us the inside scoop on what to expect this season. Trina shared, “There’s been a substantial time gap since we were first introduced to you all with Braxton Family Values in 2011. We have evolved into mother-in-laws and kids graduating from high school. There are so many different new facets of our lives. So you’re getting a new grown-up version of The Braxtons.”

Towanda added a touch of nostalgia and pride, saying, “We are the longest-running black family reality show in history. It’s almost like a pinch-me type of situation. We are thankful that we are the pioneers of the black family reality shows. We’re thankful that everyone has embraced us throughout the seasons and they have gone through the journey with us, especially with us losing Traci. We feel like they have also lost Traci. We wanted to embrace all the fans that have gone through the journey with us this season.”

New Challenges, Same Fierce Spirit
The Braxton sisters are back, and they’re facing a whirlwind of new challenges. Toni, the iconic songstress, is dealing with a critical health issue while preparing for a major Vegas comeback. Trina is confronting PTSD through therapy, Towanda is managing alopecia, Tamar is focused on her wellness journey, and Ms. E is finally making her cooking show dreams come true. But, as you can imagine, family reunions are never simple—especially when old wounds and unresolved issues come to light. Will Traci’s last wish be enough to mend the rifts and bring them back together?
