Craig Conover is trading in his sewing needles for strawberries and wedding bells, and he’s giving fans a taste of what’s to come on the upcoming season of Southern Charm.
In a recent chat with Interview Magazine, Craig revealed that season 11 is going to be huge.
“Season 11’s a monster season,” he teased. “Everyone’s going to be really excited. I haven’t felt like this in a couple years.”
According to Craig, the new season is all about fresh starts: new faces, new storylines, and new business ventures. And yes, that includes his latest unexpected partnership—with none other than Austen Kroll.
Despite their love-hate bromance nearly imploding on their podcast Pillows and Beer, the duo is now going into the wedding business.
“Austen and I are opening a wedding venue in Charleston,” Craig revealed. “Even though we can’t stop fighting with each other all the time.”
The space is being billed as an all-in-one venue where couples can say “I do,” party into the night, and maybe even get married by Craig himself (if he follows through on getting that officiant license).
But that’s not the only thing Craig’s growing…
The Sewing Down South founder has become a bit of a green thumb, using his garden—and more specifically, his strawberries—as a flirtation strategy.
“When we started filming this season, my strawberries were in bloom,” Craig shared. “If I had a crush on a girl, I would take her into my garden and pick a strawberry for her and have her try it.”
Season 11 has officially wrapped filming, and while Bravo is keeping the big drama under wraps, Kathryn Dennis has already started stirring the pot from the sidelines—suggesting The Bachelor’s Salley Carson might be channeling her iconic season 2 energy for the cameras.
So what’s really going down in Charleston? We’ll have to wait and see. But if Craig’s strawberry seduction and surprise wedding venue are any indication, season 11 is going to be interesting!
