In the Still Flipping Out trailer, Jeff Lewis wastes no time breaking the fourth wall with his signature deadpan humor.
The sneak peek, which you can check out above, features Jeff and his fellow Season 1 castmates — including chief-of-staff Shane Douglas, social media manager Annie Sharp, SiriusXM show producer Jamison Scala, and housekeeper Aurora Chavez — and offers clues on everything viewers can expect when Still Flipping Out premieres on Sept. 28 at 9 p.m. ET.
What the Still Flipping Out Season 1 trailer teased
Jeff Lewis takes viewers behind the scenes of his radio show
The Still Flipping Out trailer kicks off with a producer asking Jeff to say, “I’m back on Bravo! Did you miss me?” His fourth-wall-breaking response? “No, that’s stupid. I’m not gonna do that.” Soon afterward, however, Jeff breaks into laughter and offers viewers an update on his career today.
“It’s been eight years since Flipping Out ended, and my life has changed pretty drastically,” Jeff explains, before detailing how Jeff Lewis Live is “a daily, two-hour radio show” on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM channel, Radio Andy. “I never expected the radio show to be as successful as it is.”

Among the special guests that Jeff introduces in the trailer are Meredith Marks, Cynthia Bailey, Leva Bonaparte, Mercedeh “MJ” Javid, and Caroline Stanbury. Some of his celebrity co-hosts that are also shown include Molly Sims, Carnie Wilson, and more.
Jeff Lewis’ co-host “chumps” spark drama
Jeff also highlights more of his SiriusXM radio show’s rotating “co-host chumps,” whom he describes as “a close-knit group that know each other intimately.” As chief-of-staff Shane puts it in a confessional, “He created this great community. … But if Jeff decides that he’s no longer going to invest in a friendship or relationship, he is able to cut them out.”
Aside from taking turns on the mic, Jeff’s friends turned co-hosts also navigate interpersonal drama off the airwaves, leading to his intervention. Case in point: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Crystal Kung Minkoff clashes with fellow chump Joey Zauzig at a work event. When Jeff catches wind that Joey “made Crystal cry,” he appears to be shocked and exclaims, “No!”
In another clip, Jeff notes that he’s “picky” about his design clients, but he agrees to renovate the home of another chump, comedian and actor Kym Whitley. He appears to regret his decision, however. “I still like you, but I quit,” he declares in one scene, prompting Kym to shout back, “I swear I will spread bad things about you on the internet! … Jeff Lewis is horrible!”

Jeff Lewis navigates multiple workplace issues
Elsewhere in the sneak peek, Jeff describes his employees as all being “inappropriate,” a term that Shane contends also applies to him. As his chief-of-staff adds, “Jeff does love to poke, but that’s part of the game.”
After admitting to a producer that he “can be a petty-ass bitch,” Jeff jokes with Shane, “You’re third now. You used to be number one, but now you’re number three.”
In a separate confessional, Annie chimes in, “There’s no telling what he’s gonna say,” while Jamison remarks, “It’s everyone for themselves.”
In other moments that are previewed, Jeff seemingly advises Annie to quit her job and also vents about another employee named Justin handling the lunch orders. “He’s making f–kin’ mistakes with my money!” Jeff fumes in one scene, before adding in a confessional, “I’m afraid that I will explode.”
