Ready for more Basketball Wives? VH1 has released the September premiere date for the second season of Baskeball Wives: LA as well as the debut date for its spin-off, Ev & Ocho, starring Evelyn Lozada and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson.
 
Here’s the scope on VH1’s fall lineup:
 
T.I. & TINY: THE FAMILY HUSTLE PREMIERES MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 AT 9PM
 
After proving that he still holds the throne, T.I., “The King of the South,” continues to take on Hollywood with a recurring role on the Starz hit television series Boss and a new movie role starring alongside Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy in the upcoming Identity Theft. Tip is also preparing to release Trouble & Triumph: A Novel of Power & Beauty, the follow-up to his successful book debut Power and Beauty, and his highly anticipated ninth studio album. Wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris is also making moves of her own this season by expanding her Pretty Hustle brand and working to take her group the OMG Girlz to a whole new level, all while designing a new lingerie line.
 
All six kids will be back this season, including music hopefuls son Domani and daughter Niq Niq. While Domani works on his rap game as a solo artist, Niq Niq will be making more hit music with the OMG Girlz. After a successful run on the “Scream Tour” and their first single “Gucci This (Gucci That)” blowing up on the charts, the girls are quickly taking the music world by storm.
 
With two successful parents and a group of kids equally hungry to make it in the game, the Harris family is ready to take on season two on T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle premiering on VH1 Monday, September 3 at 9PM.
 
EV & OCHO SERIES PREMIERE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 AT 9:30 PM/ET
 
VH1 has followed Evelyn’s story through four seasons of Basketball Wives. Now Ev & Ocho presents a behind-the­-scenes look at Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson and Evelyn Lozada’s journey to “I Do.” Through an eleven-part series, including a two-part season finale, audiences will get a glimpse inside of Evelyn and Chad’s relationship. Between Evelyn promoting her new book Inner Circle and going through marriage counseling with Chad, Evelyn is forced to put all past issues on the back-burner as she deals with tough family decisions and the ever important question, “Who will walk me down the aisle?” Viewers will watch Evelyn and Chad work together through the tough times to reach the goal of their dream wedding with celebrity wedding planner Diann Valentine. From deciding on the perfect cake and designer dress, to Evelyn dealing with Ocho’s unconventional wedding demands, this ceremony will definitely go down in the history books. Preparation isn’t easy, and the couple’s timing is tight as Evelyn rushes to make sure her ill brother-in-law can be a part of her very special day. With two overflowing social calendars and two different personalities to match, these two realize planning “happily ever after” won’t be a smooth course.
 
BASKETBALL WIVES: LA PREMIERES MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 AT 8PM ET/PT
 
Taking the screen for a second season, VH1’s Basketball Wives LA rebounds with new friendships and fresh additions to the team. Familiar faces returning are Jackie Christie, Gloria and Laura Govan, Malaysia Pargo and Draya Michele. Other friends also join in to make season two even spicier than the first.
 
Sisters Laura and Gloria try to mend their strained relationship, which has been tenuous due to the pressures of their chaotic lives. Gloria faces a turning point in her acting career and finds herself at the brink of her first big role, but will this push her relationship with Laura to the edge? Laura has a hot new figure and is set on making big life changes. Jackie attempts at making amends with the group, but has too much damage already been done? Malaysia makes good on her promise to step out of her comfort zone and pushes herself to hang-glide, skydive and more. Draya juggles a booming modeling career and the launch of her own swimwear line. And of course, another year means another vow renewal for Jackie and Doug Christie with the theme sure to blow the other 16 celebrations out of the water. Basketball Wives LA premieres Monday, September 10 at 8:00 PM.
