# Family Reunion: Love & Hip Hop Edition

VH1's Family Reunion: Love & Hip Hop Edition is an American reality television series that premiered February 8, 2021 on VH1. The series serves as a spin-off and crossover of the network's Love & Hip Hop franchise; featuring cast members from Love & Hip Hop: New York, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood and Love & Hip Hop: Miami.
It is the first Love & Hip Hop-related series to be produced in-house by MTV Entertainment Studios, with no involvement from creator Mona Scott-Young or her Monami Productions company.

## Development

In early 2020, production on the Love & Hip Hop franchise was shut down for the first time in 6 years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On June 12, 2020, VH1 announced that they had severed their relationship with Big Fish Entertainment, after their reality show Live PD was canceled due to the handling of the video footage of the killing of Javier Ambler.
On October 8, 2020, Mona Scott-Young confirmed VH1 were working on "reimagining" the franchise to be produced in-house. Family Reunion was one of several Love & Hip Hop specials and limited series to be produced during this period; including Love & Hip Hop: Secrets Unlocked, and Love & Hip Hop: It's a Love Thing.
