Sadly, power couple Chèrie Chan and Jessey Lee will not be returning for the upcoming season after they announced their departure from the show to focus on their family and other businesses.

What is the plot of Bling Empire season 2?

Bling Empire documents the lavish lives of a group of wealthy friends who live in Los Angeles.

As they parade the glitz and glamour of their luxurious lifestyles, while attending the most popular events wearing the most expensive clothes, behind it all is endless drama.

Relationships were made and broken during season one as we saw Chèrie Chan and Jessey Lee get engaged, meanwhile Kelly Mi Li and Andrew Gray ended theirs.

So, in season 2 we can expect more fiery drama as we catch up on where the Bling Empire cast are now.

An official synopsis from Netflix reads: “Los Angeles’s beloved uber-rich Asians are back with even more luxury, glamor and crazy. This season, a romance between Kevin and Kim percolates, Cherie and Jessey’s relationship is questioned, and as Kane and Kevin’s best bud friendship is tested, Beverly Hills’ rivaling queens, Christine and Anna, put a new twist on the art of social warfare. But through it all, the one thing these friends hold dearest to their hearts is their love for each other…and of course, impeccable style.”

Is there a trailer?

Yes! You can watch the trailer below where we're already being introduced into the never-ending drama of the feisty group...
