Baddies is a reality TV show and franchise created by The Zeus Network. The show serves as a unofficial reboot of Bad Girls Club.
The show follows a group of young women who live together and host a number of promotional events, frequently leading to verbal and physical fights. Many Baddies cast members previously starred on Bad Girls Club, including executive producers Natalie Nunn and Tanisha Thomas.
The franchise would later spawn its own spin-off titled Baddies Gone Wild.
Development
Talks for a potential reboot of Bad Girls Club came in early 2019 when Natalie Nunn announced that a reunion special was in the works. The reunion initially included her, along with twin sisters Gabrielle and Danielle Victor from Season 8: Las Vegas, Christina Salgado and Erika “Lucci Vee” Jordan from Season 9: Mexico, Raquel "Rocky" Santiago and Shannon Sarich from Season 10: Atlanta, Sarah Oliver from Season 11: Miami, and Jada Cacchilli from Season 12: Chicago. The plan also included Tanisha Thomas from season 2.
The reunion was initially developed to release on OnlyFans, with uncensored material made available for a particular price. The Victor twins and Jordan eventually quit and were replaced by Tiana Small from Season 11: Miami, who later exited the project. In December 2020, Cacchilli, Nunn, Oliver, Salgado, Santiago and Sarich appeared together on an episode of The Conversation to discuss their issues surrounding the OnlyFans project.
Afterwards, it was announced that the Baddies series was picked up and in production. On February 14, 2021, The Zeus Network released a teaser trailer for Baddies ATL, which would reunite several former Bad Girls Club cast members.
