**Baddies** is a reality TV franchise created by **The Zeus Network**. The show serves as a unofficial reboot/spin-off of **Bad Girls Club**.

The show follows a group of young women who live together and host a number of promotional events, frequently leading to verbal and physical fights. Many Baddies cast members previously starred on **Bad Girls Club**, including executive producers Natalie Nunn and Tanisha Thomas.

The show has aired 4 seasons so far, which are named after where they were filmed. The first season was filmed entirely in Atlanta, Georgia. Later seasons **Baddies South** and **Baddies West** were filmed during road trips through the United States. The fourth season **Baddies East** was announced in April 2023 and released a two-part audition special that aired later in June. The fifth season, titled **Baddies Caribbean**, was announced, while a teaser was released on December 31, 2023.

## Development

Talks for a potential reboot of **Bad Girls Club** came in early 2019 when Natalie Nunn announced that a reunion special was in the works. The reunion initially included her, along with twin sisters Gabrielle and Danielle Victor from Season 8: Las Vegas, Christina Salgado and Erika “Lucci Vee” Jordan from Season 9: Mexico, Raquel "Rocky" Santiago and Shannon Sarich from Season 10: Atlanta, Sarah Oliver from Season 11: Miami, and Jada Cacchilli from Season 12: Chicago. The plan also included Tanisha Thomas from season 2.

The reunion was initially developed to release on OnlyFans, with uncensored material made available for a particular price. The Victor twins and Jordan eventually quit and were replaced by Tiana Small from Season 11: Miami, who later exited the project. In December 2020, Cacchilli, Nunn, Oliver, Salgado, Santiago and Sarich appeared together on an episode of **The Conversation** to discuss their issues surrounding the OnlyFans project.

Afterwards, it was announced that the **Baddies** series was picked up and in production. On February 14, 2021, Zeus Network released a teaser trailer for **Baddies ATL**, which would reunite several former **Bad Girls Club** cast members.
