VH1 Family Reunion: Love & Hip Hop Edition is an American reality television series featuring cast members from all four Love & Hip Hop cities. The series premiered on February 8, 2021, on VH1 as a spin-off of Love & Hip Hop: New York, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood and Love & Hip Hop: Miami.[1][2]

It is the first Love & Hip Hop production to be produced in house by MTV Entertainment Studios, with no involvement from Mona Scott-Young and her company Monami Productions.

Development[]

In early 2020, production on the Love & Hip Hop franchise was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing the series off air for the first time in 6 years. On June 12, 2020, VH1 announced that they had severed their relationship with Big Fish Entertainment,[3] after their reality show Live PD was canceled due to the handling of the video footage of the killing of Javier Ambler.[4]

On October 8, 2020, Mona Scott-Young confirmed VH1 were working on a reimagining of the franchise, to be produced in-house.[5] On December 3, 2020, it was reported that two new spin-offs were in production and set to premiere in 2021, one features various couples from the franchise's history, and another featuring cast members from Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Hollywood and Miami living together in an Arizona hotel.[6]

On December 10, 2020, VH1 announced the four part special Love & Hip Hop: Secrets Unlocked,[7] a reunion special hosted by Kendall Kyndall and featuring cast members from New York, Atlanta, Hollywood and Miami. The special premiered on January 4, 2021. On January 12, 2021, VH1 announced Love & Hip Hop: It's a Love Thing, a special featuring various Love & Hip Hop couples, would air on February 1, 2021, followed by VH1 Family Reunion: Love & Hip Hop Edition, an spin-off show featuring cast members from New York, Atlanta, Hollywood and Miami, on February 8.[8]
