Small Town Trouble: Texas Trailer
Bravo released the first look at the series on October 22, 2026, alongside the cast announcement and the premiere date. The trailer runs 2 minutes 37 seconds and frames Boerne as a conservative, picture-perfect town before showing what the group says is going on underneath.
What Is Small Town Trouble: Texas About?
Bravo describes the series as a look at wives, mothers and social insiders whose conservative small-town lives are disrupted by secrets, forbidden attraction and messy friendships. The trailer points to several storylines.
- Open relationships and secret romances: Aaryn says on camera that many married women in town with traditional families are also sleeping with women. In one heated argument, Josh questions whether Jordan is really comfortable with an arrangement involving his wife, Gabby, and another woman.
- Hailey and Josh: Hailey says they have been together for 11 years without marrying. In the trailer she becomes emotional and says Josh is leaving her, while he says things are fine.
- Gabby and Jordan: Gabby says she hopes they are still meant to be together, and Jordan says he is working out whether he is okay with their current arrangement.
- Friend-group conflict: Aaryn and Alli argue over friendships, with Alli pointing to Aaryn’s history of falling out with friends. Alli also says Hailey deserves better than Josh, and Annari and Aaryn appear headed for a confrontation.
Small Town Trouble: Texas Cast
Bravo’s official cast list has five women, shown alongside their husbands and partners. Here is how Bravo introduces each of them.
Aaryn Williams
A content creator who appeared on Big Brother in 2013. She is married to Nick Williams, and they have four daughters, whom she homeschools. Aaryn identifies as bisexual. Bravo calls her polarizing and often at the center of the drama, and says she is focused on personal growth and owning her mistakes.
Annari Uys
Annari is married to Duan Uys, and they have three sons. She grew up in an ultra-religious household in South Africa and says she is embracing what she calls the “Big Defrost.” Bravo says she has a growing connection to a close friend and is pulled into the group’s emotional and romantic center.
Gabby Hernandez Huffman
Born and raised in San Antonio as a preacher’s daughter, Gabby is unpacking a repressed evangelical past. She met her husband, Jordan Huffman, on a sugar-dating site, and an unconventional arrangement became a marriage. They have a daughter.
Alli McAnelly
A third-generation local, Alli is married to Blake McAnelly and they have three children. She is stepping away from her career to spend more time with her kids. She calls herself the “Queen of Boerne” and Bravo says she is unfazed by group drama.
Hailey Head
Hailey is described by Bravo as wealthy and glamorous. She has been with her partner, Josh Marsalis, for 11 years, and they have two children but are not married. Bravo says she is starting to explore life outside her home while Josh keeps a close eye on her social life.

Where Is Small Town Trouble: Texas Set?
The series is set in Boerne, pronounced “Bur-nee,” a Texas Hill Country town about 30 minutes outside San Antonio. In the trailer the cast describe it as a Hallmark-style town that is exactly what you would expect from a conservative small town, before the show suggests the reality is more complicated.
The Title Change and the Boerne Reaction
Bravo announced the series in May 2026 under the working title Secrets, Lies, Texas Wives. The announcement drew an immediate reaction in Boerne. At a City Council meeting on May 12, City Manager Ben Thatcher said the city was not producing, sponsoring, endorsing, casting or otherwise partnering in the production. The show has since been retitled Small Town Trouble: Texas.
The Aaryn Williams Casting Debate
Much of the online debate since the cast reveal has centered on Aaryn Williams. She was a houseguest on Big Brother 15 in 2013 and was the ninth person evicted that summer, and her remarks about fellow houseguests drew widespread criticism at the time. Some Big Brother fans have criticized Bravo for casting her and called for a boycott, while others have said she should be given a chance to show she has changed. In a confessional for the new series, Aaryn calls her past behavior the biggest regret of her life.
