The Belles are taking Birmingham. 

OWN has announced a premiere date for the first Belle Collective spinoff. Belle Collective: Birmingham. The new series – which stars Canvas Beauty founder and Love & Marriage: Huntsville alum Stormi Steele, –premieres April 10. It follows Stormi as she connects with a group of “driven, successful southern Belles all determined to transform Birmingham into a thriving destination for beauty, influence, and Black entrepreneurship.”

But things are not always peaceful in Birmingham. As Stormi joins this group of friends and spends more time in Birmingham, tensions surface. The Belles will navigate “old rivalries, competing visions of success and clashing personalities,” which threatens the group’s balance, according to OWN. The show will dig deep as it explores “the real-life balancing act of business, motherhood, marriage, friendship, faith, and personal reinvention.”

The Belle Collective: Birmingham cast includes Stormi’s savvy CFO Amber Jones, entrepreneur Tiffaney Jones, marketing strategist Funmi Ford, and talent manager K’la Inman.

Amber is Stormi’s “business soulmate.” While she’s fiercely loyal to her friend and the Canvas Beauty mission, her direct communication style can rub some people the wrong way. Amber has a particularly complicated relationship with K’la, and old wounds between the two women will resurface this season.

“I’m a boss. My business runs itself, and I can be a great wife and mother,” Amber says in the first trailer for the new show. 

Tiffany first landed in the spotlight thanks to a viral video that documented her whirlwind journey of a proposal, wedding, and pregnancy, all in the same day. She’s grounded in her faith and deeply committed to traditional marriage and family values. That stance sparks debate among the Belles about inclusivity and supporting women no matter their stage of life.  

“I feel chosen to bring women together,” Tiffany says in the teaser. “Because it allows for me to serve.”

The Nigerian-born Funmi is a content creator and influencer with a growing audience. She loves to help businesses grow while also nurturing her own brand. But her ambition sometimes causes tension in her marriage, leading to disagreements about finances, priorities, and emotional connection. Among the Belles, she’s a dynamic presence, though her outspokenness can sometimes ruffle feathers. 

Finally, there’s K’la. She’s a talent manager and mom of four who’s entered a new chapter of her life after the end of her 18-year marriage. 

“I have helped kids get into commercials, movies, television, print – we do it all,” she explains. 

Now, after helping so many young people become more confident, K’la is ready for own transformation and to embrace life as a single woman. But lingering tensions with Amber threaten to disrupt the group dynamic, forcing K’la to confront past conflicts

Belle Collective: Birmingham premieres Friday, April 10 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on OWN, immediately after Belle Collective. Episodes move to 8 p.m. ET/PT beginning Friday, April 24. Belle Collective: Birmingham will also stream on HBO Max.
