Season four of VH1’s Mob Wives: New Blood is up 14% among adult viewers compared to season three of Mob Wives, so the network’s decision to bring the show back for a fifth season doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Series regulars Big Ang, Drita D’Avanzo, and Renee Graziano will be back for more drama, with VH1 eyeing a 2014 premiere of the fifth season.
Filming on the new season will take place later this year.
VH1 also announced they’ll air Mob Wives: New Blood – The Reunion special one week after the season four finale. The special will be hosted by Sherri Shepherd and will air at 10pm ET/PT on February 27th.
Per the network:
Comedian, actress, and TV personality Sherri Shepherd (The View, Newlywed Game) hosts when the Mob Wives: New Blood cast reunites to discuss the most explosive and buzzed-about moments of the season. Heading into finale, Alicia faces sentencing on charges of embezzlement and ponders a future in which her children could possibly be left with their mother and father both in prison.
Renee is working to leave her past with Junior behind her, but this proves more difficult than she had ever imagined. Natalie urges her boyfriend London to take the next step in their relationship, while Drita revels in the success of her business and experiences an all-too-rare calm on the home front. Ang knows that family is the most important thing – but does that mean she and Neil can and should try for a new baby of their own?
