ABOUT LITTLE WOMEN: LA

Terra Jolé, Tonya Banks, Elena Gant, Christy McGinity Gibel, Traci Harrison Tsou and Briana Manson all return for the second season of Little Women: LA, and the stakes are higher than ever. When a shocking baby announcement is made and there's a new little lady in town, the group's friendships are pushed to the limit. In each hour-long episode, viewers get a unique glimpse into the lives of these girlfriends as they wade through the ups and downs of life, supporting one another every step of the way as they prove, once again, that height is just a number. During its first season, Little Women: LA grew by +47% among total viewers over the series' run.

Terra Jolé - The ringleader is back with some all-new tricks up her sleeve. A well-known film star and celebrity impersonator, Terra made a splash this past summer with the release of her bumping "Booty Bee" single. She's still with her boyfriend, Joe, and ready to take on some new projects.

Tonya Banks - A fan favorite from Season 1, Tonya has been in the entertainment industry for more than 30 years, working as an actress, a stuntwoman and a celebrity impersonator. She's devoted to her 23-year-old daughter, Angelique, and is still looking for that perfect man.

Elena Gant - Making waves with viewers last season, the exotic Russian beauty returns to taking on America one outfit at a time. With her family still back at home, Elena and her husband continue to consider starting a family of their own in California. She's also considering a new career.

Christy McGinity Gibel - Known for stirring the pot, Christy has settled into married life with her husband, Todd. The two are now working on having children of their own to add to their happy brood.

Traci Harrison Tsou - Committed to her faith and now to her new husband, Erik, Traci is back and eager to start a family. After meeting Erik online three years ago, the two finally tied the knot this past summer.

Briana Manson - Full-time stay-at-home mom Briana is still on the singles scene and has some challenges ahead. She takes it all in stride.
