The season two first-look teases Jen Shah's legal troubles and introduces new housewife Jennie Nguyen.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season two trailer is here! The highly anticipated season first-look teased the drama to come this upcoming season. The trailer, exclusively released by People Magazine, highlighted what the ladies of Salt Lake City have been up to since the premiere season concluded in February 2021 with the explosive three-part reunion. The full season two cast consists of Lisa Barlow, Whitney Rose, Jen Shah, Mary Cosby, Meredith Marks, Heather Gay, and newbie Jennie Nguyen. Even though fans couldn't get enough of the newest addition to the Housewives Franchise, season two has proven to be a lot chillier.
As previously reported, Jen Shah's legal issues played a huge part this season and will ultimately be the focus. The trailer showcased Shah's legal troubles by showing her leaving a Salt Lake City court after her March 2021 arrest. As a recap, Jen Shah and her assistant Stuart Smith were arrested on March 31, 2021 and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering for their alleged connection in a nationwide telemarketing scheme. As the news hit headlines of the shocking arrest, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City was in the middle of filming. The trailer shows Shah getting emotional fearing the possible jail time she could face.
The first-look also showed a divide between the cast based on who would be a loyal friend to Shah as her legal troubles began to escalate. Heather Gay and Shah seem to be on good terms in the trailer while Shah and Meredith Marks continue their feud from last season. There are even allegations being thrown around in the trailer that Marks may have even told the feds about Shah's alleged legal issues. The accusation that Marks told the feds about Shah's alleged legal woes leads to a screaming match between the two shown in the first-look.
On top of Jen Shah's legal troubles, Lisa Barlow's friend Jennie Nguyen joins the ladies of Salt Lake City. As seen in the trailer, Nguyen can be seen showing her luxurious lifestyle and even fighting with the other women. Nguyen was first rumored to have a friend-of role for the second season but ultimately was promoted to a full-time housewife for her first season.
The new season also tackles rumors that Mary Cosby allegedly might be a cult leader. The trailer shows Whitney Rose sharing the rumor and Lisa Barlow having lunch with a man who claims to know details about Cosby's alleged cult inside her church.
Even though the trailer tackles the cult leader rumors, there was no mention of Mary Cosby's recent charges brought against her. Cosby and her son were charged in April 2021 with two misdemeanors each for allegedly unlawfully providing shelter to a runaway and allegedly contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Cosby has plead not guilty to the charges and told E! News that it is a "misunderstanding".
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season two premieres Sunday September 12 at 9:00 P.M. ET on Bravo.
