The thirteenth season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, aired from December 6, 2020, until May 9, 2021, and continued to star: Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore; while introducing, Drew Sidora.
Production[]
Production on the season began in mid-July 2020. In November of the same year, production on the series was halted after a crew member tested positive for COVID-19; production resumed the following month.
The season received negative reviews from fans of the show due to the uneven editing, lack of group chemistry, and slower-paced episodes. This was put down to the pandemic, the cast size and length of time that the show had been airing for.
Cast[]
For the thirteenth season, four of the six cast members from the previous season returned. Eva Marcille departed the series, along with NeNe Leakes, who exited the series for a second time. Actress and singer, Drew Sidora, joined the cast as a Housewife, while newcomer, LaToya Ali, joined Marlo Hampton and Tanya Sam as ‘Friends of the Housewives’.
In addition to this, Falynn Pina and Shamea Morton made multiple guest appearances throughout the season. While former housewives: Shereé Whitfield, Claudia Jordan and Eva Marcille also appeared as guests; in attendance at Cynthia and Mike's wedding.
