Dim the lights and crank the volume, Hong Kong, because tonight’s premiere of Toya & Reginae on ViuTV just delivered a family reunion so wild, it’s got the city cackling, crying, and clutching our bubble tea in suspense! Airing at 8 PM sharp, the latest episode of this Stateside reality gem brought Toya Harris and Reginae Carter’s larger-than-life antics to our shores, proving that family drama is the universal language—and oh, did they serve it up hotter than a Mong Kok hotpot!
The episode, aptly titled “Family Ties and Hilarious Disguises,” saw Toya, the pint-sized powerhouse with a heart of gold, on a mission to wrangle her gloriously chaotic clan for a reunion. Picture this: a sprawling Kowloon penthouse, decked out with fairy lights and enough snacks to rival a wet market stall, packed with relatives who’d rather bicker than bond. Enter Reginae, the sass queen and voice of reason, navigating the madness with her signature eye-rolls and a wardrobe so fierce it could stop traffic on Nathan Road. But the real MVP? Toya’s 12-year-old uncle, Lil’ J—just try wrapping your head around that family tree!
From the jump, it was pure fireworks. Toya, rocking a ruby-red jumpsuit that screamed boss vibes, tried to play peacemaker as her cousins squabbled over who gets the last siu mai. Meanwhile, Reginae—decked in a pastel co-ord set straight out of Causeway Bay’s trendiest boutique—dropped one-liners like, “I’m 25, and my uncle’s asking me for Roblox tips. Send help!” The kicker? Lil’ J, with his oversized hoodie and a smirk that could melt hearts, stole the show by challenging Toya to a dance-off—spoiler: she lost, and we’re still laughing about it.
Hong Kong fans lapped it up like it was free cha chaan teng milk tea. “This is peak family chaos—I’m obsessed!” one viewer posted on X, while another raved, “Reginae calling out her tween uncle is my new life goal.” By 9 PM, #ToyaAndReginae was trending locally, with clips of Lil’ J’s victory shimmy flooding TikTok faster than you can say “Harbour City sale.” It’s no surprise—there’s something deliciously relatable about watching Toya’s heartfelt attempts at unity crash into the reality of her quirky kin, all while Reginae serves looks and shade in equal measure.
Behind the scenes, the duo’s chemistry is the secret sauce. “Toya’s the glue, but I’m the glitter,” Reginae quipped in a ViuTV promo clip earlier today. Toya, ever the doting mom-turned-reality-star, added, “This episode is real—messy, loud, and full of love. Just like us.” Producers promise next week’s installment ups the ante with a surprise guest (fingers crossed for a Hong Kong cameo!), but for now, tonight’s premiere has cemented Toya & Reginae as Sunday night’s guiltiest pleasure.
The show’s Stateside roots might hail from Atlanta, but its Hong Kong debut—complete with Cantonese subtitles—feels tailor-made for our city’s love of drama with a side of heart. Whether you’re Team Toya, rooting for her to herd those cats, or Team Reginae, living for her deadpan zingers, one thing’s clear: this family reunion has us hooked. Catch the replay on Viu’s app, because trust us—you’ll want to rewatch Lil’ J’s mic-drop moment on loop. Hong Kong, we’ve got a new obsession, and it’s delightfully unhinged!
