It was in November when it Bravo TV announced that it had ordered 2 new Atlanta-set reality TV series – one of them being Married to Medicine.
Of course, with a title like that, you can assume that it belongs to the very successfull "Wives" universe, even though it's not called Doctor Wives, or The Real Housewives Of Atlanta Doctors.
Here's how Bravo described it:
"Married to Medicine" follows a group of successful and educated women, including doctors and wives of doctors, who are connected to the world of medicine in Atlanta. Whether delivering babies in Louboutins or rushing off to galas in Buckhead, these women do everything with style, drama, and of course, southern flair. Produced by FremantleMedia North America and developed by Purveyors of Pop with Matt Anderson, Nate Green and Maty Buss serving as Executive Producers.
And if the below trailer is tells us anything, it's that, apparently, ratchetness has no borders. "Educated and successful" doctors aren't immune. They're just as loud, obnoxious, materialistic, superficial, and are prone to physical fights involving weave pulling, and the like.
Yay! Can't wait.
*Sigh*
This is the same garbage you've seen over and over and over again; and yet, no matter how many there are, audiences just can't seem to get enough.
Here's a profile of the cast of both doctors and doctor's wives which follows below; and underneath, you'll find a trailer for the new series, which will debut at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Sunday, March 24.
