Right after the season premiere of Love After Lockup Season 11, you can catch Kami, Trent and Nita on the series premiere of the new docuseries This Is Poly.
In addition to the polycule, the new season of Love After Lockup will feature the returning throuple Damond, Goddess and Bonita. Other familiar faces coming back include Love During Lockup‘s Kayleigh and Michael as well as Rich and Felicia.
There will also be four brand new couples. Below are photos, names and bios for the entire cast of Love After Lockup Season 11.

Charlie proposed after just three months with a makeshift ring crafted from string, but their whirlwind romance came at a cost: once their feelings were exposed, both were fired. Hilary plans to move in with Charlie after her release – that is, until another tempting option is presented by her ex-husband and his boat in sunny Florida. Caught between two men, two lifestyles and a brand-new belief system as a born-again Christian committed to sobriety, Hilary must decide: will she choose faith and a fresh start or be tempted back to the glitz and freedom of her past?
