NeNe Leakes and company are back on Bravo, and if the ratings for The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 Episode 1 are any indication, all the off-season drama has only helped to make the show more popular than ever.
The episode pulled in an estimated 3.8 million viewers, making it Bravo's most-watched season premiere ever.
The news isn't all that surprising, considering the turbulent lives of the ladies and their hot-headed beaus provided several months' worth of free advertising.
Highlights included Apollo Nida going to prison for a looooong time, and loose cannon Porsha Williams being demoted from series regular to "friend of the Housewives."
The Atlanta Housewives have reached a level of fame where there actions make news even when the show isn't airing, so fans who are up on their celebrity gossip knew this season would pack some serious drama even before the first episode aired.
For Bravo execs, this means a huge audience for RHOA, as well as for tie-in shows such as Watch What Happens Live.
The season seven premiere of RHOA enjoyed a 23 percent increase in viewership over last season's debut, and all producers had to do was dump one cast member and document another one being sent to prison for 8 years.
If this trend of felonies equating to big ratings continues, then the shenanigans Jersey stars Teresa and Joe Giudice may prove to be a goldmine for the network.
Watch The Real Housewives Atlanta online at TV Fanatic to get caught up on what should be the show's wildest season yet.
Nene is back for a seventh season of RHOA. She's considered by some to be the biggest atar in the Housewives galaxy.
