Kimora Lee Simmons is no stranger to reality TV, but over a decade later, she is embracing the cameras again with a new E! show, Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane. The title is a nod to her previous show, Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane, which first premiered in 2007 and lasted four seasons.

The news of Simmons’s comeback was announced this week, and the series will premiere in December 2025. The show will give fans a better look into her life as a mother and a business mogul. The synopsis reveals how the “now single mom of five as she commands a billion-dollar empire while running her iconic Baby Phat brand,” E! News reports. She launched Baby Phat in 1999 and revived the brand in 2019.

What Can Fans Expect From Kimora Lee Simmons’ New Show?

Simmons is a mother to five children, and her oldest two, Ming and Aoki, have followed in her footsteps with careers in the modeling industry. She is also a mother to two teenage sons, Kenzo and Gary, and her youngest, Wolfe, is 10 years old. E! News teases that “Kimora’s world is even more fabulous and outrageous than ever before.”

Her past relationships include marriages to Russell Simmons and Tim Leissner.

Simmons has not publicly addressed the show, but she will be involved in production. According to Deadline, Hartbeat will produce the show, and Simmons will executive produce alongside Kevin Hart, Luke Kelly-Clyne, Meghan Hoffman, Bryan Smiley, and Danielle Medina.

Kimora Lee Simmons Has Been Waiting For Her Return To Reality TV

It appears that Simmons had been waiting until the right time before she got in front of the cameras again. In an interview with ET in 2022, she revealed that she had been offered a role on Bravo’s The Real Housewives and that producers give her a call “every season.”

“Different producers call me all the time. They call me to try to be part of their show all the time,” she said. At the time, she said her inclusion was still to be decided, but the drama of Real Housewives put her off. “Here’s what I just don’t understand, I don’t watch TV, are they mean to each other? Are they rude to each other? Because the clips I’ve seen, things I’ve heard, they’re kind of fighting,” she said. “Are they going to, like, invite you to a dinner party and then edit it to look a certain way?”

Instead, she has a different approach to reality shows. “I want to compel people, teach people, aspire people, uplift them,” she said. “I want to show them how to be bad b’s, how to look great, feel great, manage everything. Fall apart if you have to, but get back up and keep going. That’s what I want to show on TV.” Her return to reality TV with Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane may be Simmons’ opportunity to do exactly what she had hoped.
