The wait is finally over: The first trailer for "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Season 8 is here.
Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Erika Girardi and Dorit Kemsley are all back again, with Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave (daughter of John Cougar Mellencamp) joining as a new "Housewife" and former co-star Camille Grammer returning in the "friend" zone.
The trailer is surprisingly light on the drama, as all the main stars are focusing on things other than backstabbing. Of course, that doesn't mean the sneak peek is without its fights. Dorit's seen calling Teddi a "psycho," while Erika appears to snap at her as well -- shouting, "Don't f-ck with me like that, you won't want that." Lisa, Kyle and Dorit are at odds as well, with Girardi explaining, "This thing boils down to three bitches that are competitive over friendship."
Here's the official synopsis from Bravo:
This season, the ladies are busier than ever, juggling life at home and in the boardroom. In addition to wrapping production on her series "American Woman" and expanding her retail business, Kyle is at a crossroad when she has to decide whether to renovate or move out of the home where she's raised her daughters. Dorit gives herself just a couple months to re-launch her swimwear line, which proves to be a nearly impossible task. Erika pours herself into Erika Jayne's meteoric rise, back in the recording studio and opening up in shocking ways as she writes her autobiography. Meanwhile, Lisa Rinna is a focused "momager" to her two model daughters, who are poised to be the next "it" girls, but struggles to keep them grounded as they continue to travel the world and grow up very fast. Lisa Vanderpump is knee-deep in rescue dogs, as her new business, Vanderpump Dogs, continues to thrive, but will she be able to do it all once she also takes on editor of a magazine? From casual lunches to luxurious escapades, there's no doubt that living this large has its ups and downs, but these housewives have their famed zip code – and then some – in the palms of their hands.
Fans of the series know the best blowouts happen when the women go on vacation and, thankfully, there are at least four of them this season. The preview includes glimpses of Berlin, NYC, Las Vegas and Tokyo.
"RHOBH" returns Tuesday, December 19 at 9pm ET/PT.
