Pitbull in a skirt).
From WE tv:

If the ladies look a little familiar to you, that could be because you are not stranger to Atlanta strip clubs. However, it could also be that you are no stranger to Urban Movie Channel, which was the original home for Beyond the Pole when it initially premiered back in January.
Show producer Shanté from She’s a Movement Media Group shared her excitement over the show moving to cable TV on Instagram. “This is the best birthday gift I could receive,” she posted on Friday. “My show @beyondthepoleatl is going to air on @wetv and @watchumc.”
Shante then reveals that it was apparently her hope from the start that Beyond the Pole would find a home on a cable network. “Everyone involved knows this was my plan from the beginning,” she wrote. “Thank you #bobjohnson for making the calls to help make this happen!”
Cast member LingLing shared her excitement on Instagram as well, and she hinted that WE tv viewers will be seeing a slightly different show. “August 8th, 2019 @beyondthepoleatl will be airing a all new revamped season 1 on @wetv,” she wrote, adding: “????stay tuned to watch!!”
Here is the original preview trailer for Beyond the Pole from UMC:
