Now Bravo has greenlighted two new unscripted series that have Hotlanta as a backdrop: Married To Medicine and Taking Atlanta. Additionally, the network has renewed Zolciak’s Don’t Be Tardy For The Wedding for a second season, shortening its title to Don’t Be Tardy…

NFGTV and Monami Entertainment produce, with Toby Barraud, Stefan Springman and Mona Scott-Young serving as executive producers.

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 and do everything with style, drama, and of course, Southern flair.

Season 2 of Don’t Be Tardy… follows Real Housewives Of Atlanta standout Zolciak and Kroy Biermann in the next phase of their marriage, which involves the demands of their ever-growing family, purchasing their dream house, and a possible adoption.
