Kim Zolciak's 'Don't Be Tardy' Canceled After 8 Seasons; What's Next For The Family?

Kim Zolciak and her family are saying goodbye to their long-running reality show "Don't Be Tardy," but fans might not have to wait too long before they can see them on television again.

On Friday, Bravo announced the cancellation of Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" spinoff, "Don't Be Tardy," after eight seasons. The reality show revolved around the lives of Zolciak, 42, and her ex-NFL player husband, 35, as well as her children -- Brielle, 24, Ariana, 19, Kroy Jr., 9, Kash, 8, and 7-year-old twins Kaia and Kane.

"We have enjoyed watching the incredible journey of Kim, Kroy and their entire family who grew up right before our eyes," a spokesperson for Bravo said in a statement to multiple outlets, including Page Six.

"We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to share their life and all the touching moments with our audience. While ‘Don’t Be Tardy’ will not be returning for another season, the Biermanns will always be part of the Bravo family and we look forward to seeing what’s next," the statement continued.

Zolciak and Biermann seemingly hinted at a new show in a statement they released addressing the cancellation of their reality show.

"The Biermann family is extremely grateful for their 13-year-plus relationship with Bravo and NBC Universal," they wrote.

"We greatly appreciate and value the support from all of our fans as we continue to grow in the entertainment industry. In times of significant growth, there are steps that have to be strategically taken, but rest assured, you will see the Biermann family on your TV screens again very soon. Grab yourself a glass of wine and stay tuned," they continued.

"Don't Be Tardy" started as a wedding special called "Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding," which documented the preparations for their Nov. 11, 2011, nuptials. But the Bravo show turned into a series focusing on their family's daily lives, with over 80 episodes aired between April 2012 and December 2020.

The final season of "Don't Be Tardy" revolved around Zolciak and her family traveling in an RV across the country before the pandemic. In October 2020, Brielle told Page Six Style that they initially thought it was a "joke" until they saw the RV.

"Seeing the RV put things into perspective for us, like, ‘Oh, f—k, we really are leaving," she said. "We have to get our s—t together. We’re going to have to pack and we’re going to be stuck to this small little RV with 10 of us.’ It didn’t seem real."

Zolciak made her Bravo debut in 2008 as one of the original "RHOA" cast members. She exited the series after five seasons but later returned as a "friend" for Season 10 in 2017. However, it was confirmed a year later that Zolciak will no longer return to the "Housewives" franchise.
