A new show featuring Captain Lee Rosbach and Kate Chastain called Couch Talk with Captain Lee and Kate is set to be released very soon on Bravo. The show is set to be released on Monday, August 14, 2023. Kate joined Below Deck in season 2 and left the show in 2023 while sharing an Instagram post in June. She said that after "months of reflection and internal discussions," she decided to make a transition in carving out a "progressive new land-based role."
Additionally, Lee Rosbach, who worked on the show for a total of 10 years, announced his departure in December 2022. On their new show, Couch Talk with Captain Lee and Kate, both cast members, Captain Lee Rosbach and Kate Chastain, will review some of the "biggest moments" from Bravo shows.
The synopsis of the new show reads:
“Capt. Lee is back on land in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., looking to get caught up on all the Bravo shows he missed while at sea, and asks his favorite chief stew - and close friend - Kate, to join him for some TV. Since Kate is an avid watcher of all Bravo shows, she can give Lee a crash course on the shows, storylines, cast, and the tea.”
It also went on to add:
“It's two longtime friends -- and former co-workers - kicking back, talking smack, and watching TV. Since South Florida is a home to many former "Below Deck" cast members, along with cast members from "Real Housewives of Miami" and "Family Karma," various Bravolebs in the area may sometimes stop by to watch a clip or two with Capt. Lee and Kate.”
As mentioned earlier, the new show will premiere on August 14, 2023, at 10 pm ET.
