There’s trouble in Texas — specifically the small town of Boerne that’s at the center of Bravo‘s newest series.
Small Town Trouble: Texas will spotlight a group of wives and mothers (plus their husbands) who live in the self-described conservative location. The series debuts on Bravo with a special two-hour premiere on Nov. 18 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, streaming the next day on Peacock.
Among the women featured on the cast are Aaryn Williams, the former Big Brother season 15 contestant who had a controversial run on the competition show due to racist remarks. CBS released a statement at the time in 2013 against commentary she made while living in the Big Brother house, and she was subsequently dropped by her talent agency.
Joining Williams on the Small Town Trouble: Texas cast are Alli McAnelly, Annari Uys, Gabby Hernandez Huffman, and Hailey Head, and their respective husbands Nick Williams, Blake McAnelly, Duan Uys, Jordan Huffman and Josh Marsalis.
Bravo announced the new series in May at NBCUniversal‘s 2026 Upfronts (it was originally announced with the working title Secrets, Lies, Texas Wives).
The logline for the new show reads, “Set in Boerne (that’s Bur-nee to the uninitiated), Texas, the series follows a charming yet unconventional group of wives, mothers and social insiders — Aaryn Williams, Alli McAnelly, Annari Uys, Gabby Hernandez Huffman, and Hailey Head, alongside their respective husbands Nick Williams, Blake McAnelly, Duan Uys, Jordan Huffman, and Josh Marsalis — as conservative values of small-town life collide with forbidden attraction, messy friendships, and shocking secrets. Here, perception is everything, temptation is everywhere, and the truth is never as buttoned-up as it looks.”

Aaryn Williams
“Aaryn Williams is polarizing, magnetic and often at the center of the drama. A content creator who was publicly outed as bisexual, she’s built a new life on her own terms with her incredibly supportive husband, Nick, and four daughters whom she homeschools. Having openly reckoned with her complicated past, Aaryn is focused on personal growth, owning her mistakes and becoming a better version of herself.”
Alli McAnelly
“A third-generation local with rodeo grit, platinum small-town status and firmly traditional views in her own marriage with Blake, Alli McAnelly is in a state of self-discovery as she steps away from her career to spend more time with her three kids. Alli knows everyone, hears everything and stays unfazed when the group drama comes her way as the self-appointed Queen of Boerne.”
Annari Uys
“After breaking away from an ultra-religious upbringing in apartheid-era South Africa, Annari Uys is embracing what she calls the Big Defrost while raising three sons with her husband, Duan. Now a free spirit with a growing connection to a close friend, she’s pulled into the group’s emotional and romantic center.”
Gabby Hernandez Huffman
“San Antonio-born and raised as a preacher’s daughter, Gabby Hernandez Huffman is unpacking a repressed evangelical past while boldly exploring who and what she wants. After meeting her now-husband on a sugar-dating site, what began as an unconventional arrangement ultimately turned into a marriage. Today, Gabby and her husband are raising a beautiful little girl and continue to play by their own rules.”
Hailey Head
“Wealthy, glamorous and full of personality, Hailey Head is just beginning to explore life outside the home she shares with her longtime partner, Josh, and their two kids. Spunky and unapologetically herself, Hailey is ready to have some fun, even as Josh keeps a close eye on her social life. As one of the few in the group navigating a longtime partnership without a marriage certificate, Hailey brings her own perspective on love, family, and relationships.”
Small Town Trouble: Texas is produced by Wheelhouse’s Spoke Studios in association with Wheelhouse’s Kismet Media label. Courtney White, Gardner Reed, Will Nothacker, Cassie Berman, Sam Hartzband, Elizabeth Wade Cuevas, Alex Rosenberg and Ally Gasparian are executive producers.
