Love & Hip Hop first premiered in March 2011.

This exclusive event will showcase Stevie J, Joseline Hernandez, Yandy Smith, Mimi Faust, Rasheeda Frost, Trick Daddy, Safaree Samuels, Trina, Ray J, Lil Scrappy, and Yung Joc, all names that have appeared in past episodes.

According to the official description, this new release brings together “the cast members, creators, and cultural voices who helped shape the phenomenon to reflect on its extraordinary run. From breakout stars and business empires to unforgettable confrontations and headline-making controversies, Love & Hip Hop: The Final Chapter revisits the moments that captivated audiences while offering new perspectives on the stories behind them.”

The service offers two plans — Essential and Bundle — both of which include VH1, MTV, and BET. Each comes with a seven-day free trial, giving you a full week to explore the platform before deciding which option works best for you. Here’s how the two plans compare.

Philo’s Essential plan costs $25 per month after the trial ends and includes thousands of viewing options, along with DVR and live TV channels. For $33 per month, the Bundle plan lets you pair your membership with other favorites like HBO Max, AMC+, and Discovery+.

Since the difference is only $8, we recommend opting for the Bundle plan to get the most out of your monthly subscription.
