Don't Be Tardy is an American reality television series that premiered on April 26, 2012, as Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding on Bravo, making it the first spin-off of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.[1]

Background

Don't Be Tardy follows the daily lives of Kim Zolciak, her husband, Kroy Biermann, and their family. The first season was titled Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding, which documented the couple as they prepared for their wedding, as well as the wedding day itself.[1] It was announced in November 2012 that the series had been renewed for a second season, with the series being renamed to its current title. Season 2 premiered on April 16, 2013.[2][3][4] The second season encompasses Zolciak as she moves on from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, takes care of her family, constructs her dream home, and manages to live out of the townhouse with the couple's growing family.[4]

Kroy met Kim Zolciak in May 2010 while Zolciak was attending the Dancing Stars of Atlanta charity event to support fellow Real Housewives cast member, Sheree Whitfield.[5][6] Biermann and Zolciak started dating and, just three months later, Zolciak was pregnant. On May 31, 2011, Zolciak gave birth to son Kroy Jagger Biermann Jr.[7] This was Biermann's first child and Kim's first son.[8] The couple wed at their previous Atlanta home on November 11, 2011.[9] On March 20, 2012 Kim announced via Twitter that she and Kroy were expecting their second child together.[10] On August 15, 2012, they welcomed their second son, Kash Kade Biermann.[11] It was announced on June 5, 2013, that the couple is expecting their third child together.[12] It was then announced on August 19, 2013, that the couple was expecting a set of twins; the twins are the couples' third and fourth children - Zolciak's fifth and sixth.[13] Zolciak announced that she gave birth to her twins on November 25, 2013.[14][15] The girl is named Kaia Rose after "Psychic Rose" - who Kim is seen visiting throughout her time on The Real Housewives - while her boy, Kane Ren, includes Ren after Zolciak's OBGYN who has delivered 5 out of her 6 children.[16][17][18][19]

Bravo announced the third season renewal of Don't Be Tardy in April 2014.[20] Season 3 premiered on July 17, 2014.[21] The third season features Kim and Kroy's two new twins (a boy and a girl), their first two children together (both boys), and their two teenagers (adopted by Kroy but fathered in previous relationships of Kim's). The four younger children are all under the age of four.[21] Kroy dealt with a football injury that temporarily suspended his football career.[21] The family has moved into their completed 17,000 square-foot home and Kim has hired a staff to maintain the estate.[21]

In March 2015, Bravo renewed Don't Be Tardy for a fourth season, which premiered on August 16, 2015[22] In April 2016, the show was renewed for a fifth season, which premiered on September 14, 2016.[23][24] In April 2017, the series was renewed for a sixth season.[25]
