A brand new season of WE tv's smash hit spinoff series "Life After Lockup" is back with twelve ninety-minute all-new episodes premiering on Friday, July 29 at 9pm ET / 8pm CT. Will these ex-cons feel imprisoned in their own relationships, or are these couples ready for a LIFE SENTENCE together?

Life After LOCKUP follows nine former inmates and their significant others from the hit series LOVE AFTER LOCKUP through their weird and WILD journey to survive the real world. This season's new couples face travel limitations and restrictions on consorting with old connections, temptations of alcohol and drugs.

Returning couples deal with the growing pains of adjusting to love, family and marriage while juggling the emotional challenges of life on the outside. Will they stay together and stay out of prison?

Who is new to "LIFE AFTER LOCKUP?"

Tayler must reveal her engagement to twin sister and roommate Bobbie, who cannot stand Chance. While Chance finally builds Bobbie a garage bedroom and promptly moves her in, Bobbie feels it is all a ploy to get rid of her. Chance has been in and out of prison his entire adult life but can the future he is planning with Tayler and the girls keep him out of prison for good?

Chazz & Branwin (La Grange, KY/Portland, OR))

These newlyweds face their first challenge immediately-- distance. Branwin's parole restrictions require her to stay in Portland, and Chazz has a job he takes very seriously back in La Grange, KY. Once they're able to be together, Chazz's sister struggles to accept their relationship, and Branwin's daughter and friends think Chazz and the move are a bad idea. Meanwhile, Branwin's bad-boy ex Aaron might also have something to say about this new marriage.

Kevin & Tiffany (Arlington,TX)

Kevin agrees to Tiffany's wish to investigate a threesome, but Kevin's playboy lifestyle is hard to ignore when Tiffany finds women's underwear in his bedroom. Even as they struggle to find a lane for their love, Kayla, the woman who will not let Kevin go, stirs up the drama.

Who is returning to "LIFE AFTER LOCKUP?"

Shawn & Sara (Cincinnati, OH)

With Sara 5 months pregnant, the couple race to plan the wedding of their dreams. However, fresh out of prison, Destinie is looking to catch up with Shawn, and she has come prepared with a list-- plus an amount for the money she believes Shawn owes her. If Destinie makes it to Ohio, how will she react when she learns Shawn is married to another former felon...with a baby?

Puppy and fiancé Eric are back together after her jail stint and planning their wedding...but to everyone's surprise, Eric is still legally married-- and Puppy fears he's still involved with his ex-wife. Amber catches baby fever after meeting a new man but is worried it may be too late for her.

Britney & Ray (Spring, TX)

Marriage could be on the horizon for the couple as Ray finally gets an engagement ring for Britney, but he must ask Britney's parents for their blessing first. Unfortunately, Ray's restitution looms large over their plans leaving Britany with questions and contemplating reaching out for a legal opinion. Will the couple make it down the aisle and ultimately start a family?

Marcelino & Brittany (Las Vegas, NV)

Brittany puts her prison past behind her and finds success as a realtor. Marcelino must take on even more of the childcare which causes a divide between the happy couple.

Did their threesome with Brittany's former cellmate, Amanda, light a fresh spark in their marriage or was the night of pleasure more trouble than it was worth?

Daonte & Lindsey (Newport News, VA/Corinth, MS)

We found out Daonte and Lindsey were dating on the special, "Love After Lockup: How to Date an Inmate." Lindsey is released from prison without warning due to a Covid outbreak at her facility and Daonte goes to Mississippi the next day to finally meet his dream girl in person-- though Daonte's mom is not a fan of this new relationship.
