The Made in Chelsea boys and girls are finally back on our screens, but abandoning London the crew have spent their summer stiring up trouble across the pond in New York. And you know when it's Spencer and co there will be trouble. For the tantalising trailer it looks like things carry on pretty Chelsea-esque in NY. Jamie and Spencer are looking to "pardy" and the girls, obviously, are fighting.
But that's not everything, here's everything you need to know about Made In Chelsea New York.
Who went?
Not everyone got to cross the pond for a Stateside summer. Nostril flaring favourite Andy Jordan stayed in London as did Alex Mytton, not good news for his romance with Binky, as did Sam Thompson.
But, don't fear there were enough MIC castmembers to stir up some drama. Spencer, Jamie, Proudlock and Stevie make a pretty entertaining foursome. When it comes to the ladies, Binky, Louise, Fran, Rosie, Cheska and newbie Riley all headed to Manhattan, but from the trailer at least it looks like things were a bit more Gossip Girl than Sex And The City when it comes to arguments.
New blood
After the success of yank Stephanie Pratt, a few more US additions were made to the cast, for the six week special.
First up is Carson Eisenhart, 24 from Dallas who works in luxury real estate and once worked for Louboutin. Speaking to the Radio Times about joining the show, he said: "I'm gay so I'm not competing with the guys."
The US version of Spencer Matthews, Alik Alfus, 25, apparently has his eye on the MIC ladies. "The only direct competition I've experienced has been with Spencer. But not in any malicious way. In a 'boys will be boys' way," he revealed.
One for the guys is 22 year-old Billie Carroll from the Bahamas. We predict a battle for the pretty brunette, probably involving Spencer or Jamie.
Lastly, there's lothario Jules Hamilton, the model and film maker is a bit of a bad boy and likes to play the field when it comes to the ladies. Like we need anymore of them in Chelsea.
As well as brand spanking new cast members, Binky's sister, Anna-Louise Felstead is joining the cast. The artist already lives in NY, so let's hope she can help Binky through the inevitable drama that comes with MIC.
Binky and Alex are OVER
They might have dramatically ended the last scene basically giving the finger to their haters, and friends, but Binky and Alex are definitely no longer an item.
Her sister confirmed to Yahoo OMG: "They're not together now. I didn't actually see any of those scenes but all I know is that they've gone their separate ways now.
"I know it hasn't been easy for her but she's trying to move on and build up her confidence again."
It's kind of a relief after the last series, let's face it the Alex/Binky drama got a little tedious.
Lucy's off men (ish)
Miss Watson might have dated Spencer Matthews and Jamie Laing, but she's officially off bad boys, according to the brunette. She told the Sun TV Magazine: "I don't go for bad boys any more, I'm repulsed by that kind of thing now,"
"It's like when you overdose on ice cream and you feel kind of sick afterwards. Spencer scarred me - I could never, ever go there again - and Jamie just wasn't very good for me."
But that doesn't mean there's no drama for our favourite straight talking MIC lady. She's arguing with the girls all over the place and in the teaser locks horns with Rosie Fortesque and Binky.
Jamie likes New York's ladies
It's not too much of a surprise that Mr Jaffa Cake himself, enjoyed himself across the pond. As well as getting naked in the trailer, hello, he claims to have charmed the women of Manhattan.
"I was born to live in New York," he told The Mirror. "I was sitting in a rooftop bar the other day thinking, 'If I could do this for the rest of my life, I would'.
"We've had a brilliant time. American girls are great.
"You have to really compliment them, though, whereas in London we tend to make fun of them and tease them. But the New York girls aren't big on irony so you have to be careful about that, which is fairly hard for me and the boys as we're quite sarcastic!
So how did he win them over? "They love my accent."
"Spencer and I and most of the boys are single at the moment so we've been having a lot of fun out here."
We bet they have.
More of the same
They might have ditched Chelsea, but fear not the 'random bumping into each other,' eye-rolling and awkward silences are still very much part of the New York special, it just wouldn't be Chelsea without it.
The new six-part special starts at 9pm on E4 on August 10.
