Season six of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood began filming in March 2019, with Big Fish Entertainment taking over as the show's production company. On July 8, 2019, VH1 announced Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood would be returning for a sixth season on August 5, 2019, along with a teaser confirming the return of Apryl Jones and Lil' Fizz to the main cast. New cast members would include Yo-Yo, rapper Micky Munday, J-Boog, Brittany B. and Akon's wife Tricia Ana. Brooke Valentine would leave the series after deciding to take a break after the birth of her child. At the same time, Moniece Slaughter would return as a supporting cast member, with Moniece announcing on social media that the season would be her last.

Reception The season would be the first of the franchise without its trademark cinematic aesthetic and high budget production values, instead resembling Big Fish Entertainment's other VH1 productions, such as Black Ink Crew. The season's premiere episode did not feature an opening credits sequence and the green screen confessional scenes were completely revamped, with cast members speaking in front of a blue backdrop and occasionally sharing confessionals together. Reactions to the show's visual changes were mixed to negative, with former main cast member Hazel-E tweeting "It went from #Hollywood to the hood". The season had the lowest-rated premiere episode in the show's history, dipping under 2 million viewers for the first time. Subsequent episodes would have the opening credits reinstated, while green screen scenes would return to their original look. ==Cast==
