Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta is the second installment of the Love & Hip Hop franchise.
Series synopsis[]
Overview[]
Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta is a "docu-soap" that revolves around the everyday lives of women and men in hip hop's "dirty south". The first season focuses on the personal and professional struggles of six women, two of which are known as girlfriends of famous R&B artists and rappers, and the other four are aspiring recording artists. Subsequent seasons expanded to include DJs and radio personalities, stylists, video vixens, glamour models, groupies and socialites.
Cast[]
Over ten seasons, 23 people have appeared in the opening credits as leading cast members. The show features a sprawling supporting cast, with 63 people credited as "additional cast" or "featured" in the show's end credits. These secondary cast members appear in green screen confessional segments and (for the most part) have the same amount of screen time and storyline focus as the show's main cast members.
