The season 8 premiere of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" is almost here, and fans can hardly wait to see Kenya Moore, Kandi Burruss, Porsha Williams, Cynthia Bailey, and Phaedra Parks back on TV. The five Housewives will be joined by newcomer Kim Fields, as well as original Housewife Sheree Whitfield. So what's in store for the ladies of Atlanta this season?

Season 8 will be filled with drama as Cynthia and her husband, Peter Thomas, will be hashing out about their marital problems on screen. According to Radar Online, one of the major causes of the couple's fights is a telling video that Cynthia and the other ladies have managed to procure. Adding to Cynthia's stress is her sister Malorie, who apparently likes to talk about Cynthia's secrets. And while all of this is going on, Peter will be busy with a new business venture that takes him far away from Atlanta, which will cause more strife between the couple.

Meanwhile, Kandi and Todd had problems last season dealing with Kandi's mother, and the newlyweds often disagreed on a lot of things, but this season, the two will be happier and closer than ever as Kandi is expecting their first child. However, their happiness is clouded by some frightening news about Kandi's pregnancy.

As for Porsha, she is now seeing a new man, but their age gap could prove to be a problem as the man is said to be younger than her.

Season 8 will also be filled with arguments and a lot of beef between the castmates. While it's true that Nene Leakes won't be returning to the show, Kenya will have words with her new neighbor, Sheree.

The new season will kick off with Kandi and Todd's visit with Dr. Jackie, and the doctor will give them some exciting news. Cynthia discovers a viral video of Peter in a compromising position. Fans will also get to see Cynthia throw the first party of the season for the launch of her eyewear collection, while Sheree's return creates some drama.
