It’s been a minute since Bravo viewers last saw Jeff Lewis in “Flipping Out.”
After all, Bravo axed the series amid controversy back in 2018, even though he’s appeared in various “Housewives” shows and other Bravo reality shows since then.
Now, however, Lewis is officially back in the fold with “Still Flipping Out,” a new update of the original series.
‘Still Flipping Out’
Bravo has just unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming series, which will debut next month.
“The new series follows former ‘Flipping Out’ star Jeff Lewis as he navigates the demands of his hit SiriusXM show on Radio Andy, an eponymous design empire, and everything in-between,” reads the synopsis.
‘The king of controlled chaos with a charged personality, Jeff is as outspoken as ever, but this time the mic is always on. As he works to balance his professional and personal lives, his trademark spontaneity collides with the people who work with him, for him and still somehow survive him,” Bravo’s synopsis continues.
“Jeff’s world has expanded over the years, though he maintains a tight circle of trusted employees and friends that ground him: his trusted ‘number two,’ chief-of-staff Shane Douglas, social media manager Annie Sharp, his dedicated SiriusXM show producer Jamison Scala, and his loyal housekeeper Aurora Chavez, who joined the team when her sister Zoila retired,” the synopsis concludes. ”And Jeff is never far from his eclectic friend group — lovingly referred to as the ‘chumps’ — who make noise on and off his SiriusXM show.”
Coming Up in the Debut Season…
BravoAccording to Bravo, viewers of “Still Flipping Out” can expect to see Lewis and his crew get into all sorts of antics.
One episode will find Lewis “trying to navigate his personal friendships with the demands of his ever-growing business ventures, but blurred lines make this nearly impossible. When he and Shane decide to invest in a property together, they find themselves in new territory. Shane tries to navigate working with Jeff as both his boss and partner, but the investment proves to be more than they bargained for.”
Another episode focuses on Lewis and the aforementioned “chumps,” the rotating roser of pals that have become co-hosts on his SiriusXM show for the Radio Andy satellite channel. That group includes Molly Sims, Carnie Wilson, Raven Symone, Kym Whitley, Jamie Kennedy, Justin Sylvester, Keltie Knight and Joey Zauzig, all of whom take a turn at the mic. “Work and play go together with this tight-knit group, though Jeff is forced to make a tough decision when one of these friends — a ‘chump’ fan-favorite — crosses the line at a work event.”
Meanwhile, “Still Flipping Out” will continue to focus on Lewis’ career as a designer, and there is no shortage of shakeups on that front. While Lewis juggles new clients while attempting to prioritize working on his own home, his personal renovation is going way over budget. “After he agrees to renovate a fellow chump’s home, his penchant for tough love might be too much,” reads Bravo’s episode description. “As Jeff’s professional network grows and his status as an influencer continues to rise, Annie looks to boost his social media presence despite his reluctance to embrace it.”
Meanwhile, the debut season will feature appearances by Andy Cohen, Reza Farahan, Mercedeh “MJ” Javid, Meredith Marks, Phaedra Parks, Shannon Storms Beador, Crystal Kung Minkoff and more.
“Still Flipping Out” premieres Monday, September 28 on Bravo.
