The popular and polarizing Netflix reality series Bling Empire vows to do precisely that with its second season, which debuts on Friday (May 13). After its first season shook things up, the series focused on real-life crazy-rich Asians in Los Angeles getting back to tempt and embarrass watchers in equal measure.
Netflix’s official synopsis says: “Los Angeles’s beloved uber-rich Asians are back with even more luxury, glamour and crazy” and that “through it all, the one thing these friends hold dearest to their hearts is their love for each other… and of course, impeccable style”.
Other than over-the-top fashion, luxury cars cruising through Los Angeles, and near-endless glamour, here’s what you can look forward to in the new season, what’s new.
While Cherie Chan and Jessey Lee, who tied the knot in February this year, had previously declared their departure from Season 2, they will in any case show up in a portion of the episodes.
The remaining main cast from the first season – model Kevin Kreider, Singaporean property agent Kane Lim, entrepreneur Kelly Mi Li, DJ Kim Lee, philanthropist Christine Chiu and she claimed ‘rival’, socialite Anna Shay – are scheduled to return.
Likewise, this season will see two new cast members joining the conflict: Social media influencer Mimi Morris and reality star Dorothy Wang, who recently showed up in Rich Kids Of Beverly Hills.
A new series with new cast members will carry with it new relationships, which obviously implies more drama that makes for astounding entertainment.
In a video interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada, Lee said: “All I got to say is that this season is shocking. A lot of juicy tea, like juicy secrets, that I was like, ‘What?’ (sic) If I’m shocked, I can imagine the audience.”
The trailer for Season 2 teases audiences with the shock that she had communicated. After intensely announcing in the show’s trademark gold text style that “Bling is back”, it carries her blooming relationship with Kreider to the very front. While he sincerely expresses his affections, Lee wrestles with his dating history.
Additionally in the spotlight will be Kreider and Lim’s tight friendship being scrutinized, with the latter calling Kreider “a bit of a man-whore” considering the former’s new romance. A clip towards the trailer’s end shows a tense exchange between the two external a restaurant, glares and broken glass included.
In the interim, beyond his friendship on the rocks, Lim will be a long way from being immune to showing himself – either causing it or engaging in it. About new cast member Dorothy Wang, he says: “People like [her], all they do is gossip and create drama”.
In the interim, Wang uncovered that Lim has spent more than a decade attempting to organize lunchtime meetings with her, which she has fervently stayed away from. She proceeds to claim that she would “rather fast for 87 days straight” instead. This makes one wonder: Who’s truly causing the drama?
