ABOUT THE SHOWS:

"Belle Collective"

Lateshia Pearson, Latrice Rogers, Marie Hamilton-Abston, Tamrbra Cherie, Aikisha Holly-Colon and Sophia (SoGucci) Williams are six southern belles from Jackson, Mississippi who are more than wives - they are bosses in their own right. From owning multi-million-dollar enterprises to juggling relationship issues and motherhood - they shine a light on marriage while rising to the top. Belle Collective is produced by Kingdom Reign Entertainment with Carlos King, Angela Dugan, Scott Shatsky, Cherelle Hinds and Michelle Brando serving as executive producers.

"Love & Marriage: D.C."

Following the "Real Housewives of the Potomac," Monique and Chris Samuels made their highly-anticipated return to reality television after four years on the "Love & Marriage" franchise series, "Love & Marriage: D.C.".

The Samuels and their couple friends navigate relationships while living the D.C. lifestyle. "Love & Marriage: D.C." is produced for OWN by Kingdom Reign Entertainment with Carlos King, Angela Dugan, Scott Shatsky, Brent Nisbett, and Tarin Laughlin serving as executive producers.

"Put a Ring on It"

Will Packer's unscripted relationship series "Put A Ring on It" centers around longtime couples who embark on the ultimate relationship test. From week to week the couples are pushed outside their comfort zones to confront the question they've been too afraid to ask: is this their happily ever after? The couples will finally find out if they are truly meant to be together by dating other people, and in doing so they'll discover if there's a love connection they've been missing all along. Will they decide it's time to go their separate ways, or is it finally time to put a ring on it? "Put A Ring on It" is produced by Will Packer Media and Lighthearted Entertainment.

"Love & Marriage: Huntsville"

Produced by Kingdom Reign Entertainment and ITV America, "Love & Marriage: Huntsville" follows the lives of a group of longtime friends in Huntsville, Alabama.

Along the way there is laughter, tears, heated arguments as they try to transform both the city and their relationships to achieve their dreams. Will they succeed at mixing business with pleasure? Or will the personal quarrels make foes of the circle of friends?
