Bravo has just unveiled the first official trailer for the upcoming eighth season of popular reality show, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." The show is set to premiere this November. Even without the presence of former cast member NeNe Leakes, there seems to be no shortage of drama, tears and tantrums among the housewives this season. 

It was reported by media outlets earlier this month that there are already fights brewing among the cast members. Specifically, there is an altercation  between Porsha Williams and Cynthia Bailey that reportedly spins out of control. 

According to the trailer, season 8 features the many dramatic moments in the lives of the housewives. The forthcoming season chronicles Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker's experiences as they prepare for the birth of their first child together. The show also follows Burruss' journey toward motherhood. 

The season also chronicles the challenges experienced by married couple Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas. Bailey becomes incensed after allegations surface that Thomas has been cheating on her. 

Meanwhile, Kenya Moore is looking for love and getting ready to embark on a new business venture. Porsha Williams is also seen with a new man in her life, Buffalo Bills star Duke Williams. Unfortunately, TMZ has revealed that the two had broken up just recently. 

Finally, season 8 also shows Phaedra Parks doing her best as a single mother while husband Apollo is incarcerated. 

To make up for the departures of Leakes and Claudia Jordan, the show is adding new members this season. According to Variety, Bravo has already confirmed that "The Facts of Life" alum Kim Fields is joining as a permanent cast member. Along with Fields is another newcomer, Atlanta Hawks cheerleader Shamea Morton. Former cast member Shereè Whitfield also returns to the show as a "friend of the housewives." 

To find out more about the drama between the housewives, viewers can tune in to the season 8 premiere of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
