For those that haven’t gotten enough of the shade, fabulosity and drama featured in Bling Empire, here’s some good news. Bling Empire: New York is heading to Netflix and features someone very familiar. As fans of the original show, we have to ask, how will this new iteration compare given it's on a new coast featuring a new cast? (Well, not all new)
It’s easy to imagine, for example, that the insults between these fresh faces will be even shadier. After all, it’s not like New Yorkers have a stellar reputation for holding their tongues. Also, based on the first official teaser, one has to wonder how well the new cast knows one another. Some of the people featured didn’t seem particularly close.
Anyway, here’s everything we know about Bling Empire: New York.
