News/Video: Bravo’s Southern Charm Savannah Returns July 16

Bravo Media returns to the city of stunning scenery and exclusive inner circles when “Southern Charm Savannah” season two premieres Monday, July 16 at 10pm ET/PT. Join Savannahian socialites Catherine Cooper, Daniel Eichholz, Hannah Pearson, Louis Oswald, and Lyle Mackenzie as they welcome newcomers Hagood Coxe and Brandon Branch into the group and offer a rare glimpse into a lavish society where legacy matters.

This season on “Southern Charm Savannah,” things have changed drastically for the group. From trips to sunny Turks and Caicos to a wintery New York City, relationships will be tested and not all will weather the storm. Catherine has had a tumultuous year. Her relationship with Lyle is still in limbo, and she struggles with whether or not she wants to be with him, or if she’s just too afraid to break up with the one steady person in her life. This leaves Lyle angry and he must decide if he’s willing to wait around for Catherine or finally move on. Daniel is having big trouble with his family, and has become passionate about making a name for himself even if it means leaving Savannah. However, while he’s trying to stay grounded with his friends, everyone notices that the former party boy isn’t acting like himself, causing some concern among the group. On the cusp of turning 30, Hannah is busier than ever as she balances her day job, prepares to launch her eponymous dress line, and begins to search for her first house. However, whether that house includes Louis is yet to be determined. In addition, there are two new charmers being added to the group this year with Hagood Coxe and Brandon Branch.

Meet the New Charmers:

Hagood Coxe

Hagood is the true meaning of a modern Renaissance woman. This soon-to-be sake entrepreneur comes from a tradition southern family in South Carolina. Hagood is part of a family estate that owns the largest rice plantation in South Carolina that spans back 5 generations. As she plans to launch her own brand of sake using her family’s rice, she is conflicted about disappointing her parents. Hagood is also a talented scientific illustrator with a completed Bachelor’s degree from Savannah College of Art and Design. Although Hagood is a great painter, her passion lies elsewhere, and is trying to figure it out as she emerges herself with the new group of friends.

Brandon Branch

Brandon was born and raised on a farm in the deep South, but he’s been decorating, polishing and enhancing his surroundings as far back as he can recall. He currently resides in a historic townhouse in downtown Savannah with his husband, Jim, where the power couple often hosts elaborate dinner and cocktail parties for their elite group of friends. Brandon runs his own interior design firm and has several high-end clients in the upper echelon of Savannah society. He’s no stranger to ruffling feathers and speaking some harsh truths, but he always comes from a good place and is a master at navigating this town and its social politics.
