Will Bravo Hit Pause on The Real Housewives of New York?

by

Is it possible that Bravo is temporarily storing the apples (implying that they will bring them out again later)? On May 9, “Page Six” claimed that The Real Housewives of New York City may be off the air indefinitely, with an anonymous source mentioning that the network is optimistic about bringing it back someday. The source stated that they are trying to determine what to do with the show, expressing a desire to make it work again. They believe there’s still potential for the series, drawing attention to the fact that The Real Housewives of Miami returned after an eight-year break. According to this report, executives anticipate that RHONY will eventually come back, but not with all of its current cast, as casting efforts are allegedly proving difficult due to a lack of interest in joining a show that has been associated with so much drama.

Bravo did not mention “RHONY” in its May 7 programming announcement, leading some to believe it may have been canceled. However, a network representative told Us Weekly that nothing is official, and the show has not been canceled yet. This contradicts a previous report from Page Six. Andy Cohen also shared a post on social media suggesting the Page Six piece was strange. Variety’s Kate Aurthur stated that there have been no changes with “RHONY” since Bravo made its earlier announcements this week, and current cast members are waiting for updates like everyone else. Jessel Taank commented on a Us Weekly headline, saying it was an emotional rollercoaster, while Sai De Silva assured her followers that recent reports were false.

Initially, there were individuals who believed the series had been terminated; however, that’s not entirely accurate. RHONY veteran Bethenny Frankel responded to this “poetic” and “bittersweet” announcement on TikTok over the weekend. She expressed her personal feelings, stating, “This is the end of an era for me, and for that show, which was like a unique mix of chaos.” Frankel was among the original cast members when RHONY first aired in 2008. The series, which also included Kelly Bensimon, Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan, Carole Radziwill, Jill Zarin, and others, was later reborn in 2023 with Eboni K. Williams, Leah McSweeney, Jenna Lyons, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, and Brynn Whitfield. In her video, Frankel seemed to suggest that the revamp may have contributed to the show’s downfall. “If you try to satisfy everyone, you end up pleasing no one,” she stated. “So they cast this polished, idealized version of what they believed New York City should be, rather than just a group of friends living in New York City, acting foolishly, irrationally, flawed, making errors, lying, cheating, stealing, mocking, and occasionally soiling themselves.” Exactly, Bethenny… cover all the bases.
