Love & Hip Hop: New York
American reality television series
Love & Hip Hop: New York (originally titled Love & Hip Hop) is an American reality television series that premiered March 6, 2011 on VH1. The series chronicles the lives of several people in New York City (and nearby areas, including New Jersey, and Yonkers), involved with hip hop music, and features appearances from notable figures associated with East Coast hip hop.
The show's success would spawn a franchise of spin-offs; including Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Chrissy & Mr. Jones, Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, K. Michelle: My Life, Stevie J & Joseline: Go Hollywood, Leave It to Stevie, Love & Hip Hop: Miami and Remy & Papoose: Meet the Mackies.
The show's tenth season and final season premiered on December 16, 2019. A "mid-season" finale aired on March 9, 2020, as production on the franchise was postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the remaining episodes never aired. In the years since, several cast members would appear in various spin-offs, crossovers, and limited series, as part of a "reimagining" of the franchise. New York's cast would also join Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta during its tenth season.
