Bravo network announced a new programming slate Wednesday that includes a new entry in its prominent reality franchise and revivals of past series. The network ordered "The Real Housewives of Rhode Island" as the latest addition to the series.
The new series will follow a group described as a tight-knit circle of Rhode Islanders with deep community ties and families spanning generations. The show is expected to depict aspirational lives, businesses, and tangled family dynamics in a state characterized as small, making past connections difficult to escape.
Bravo is also bringing back "Ladies of London" with a new cast eight years after the original series concluded. The reboot will feature British blue bloods, American expatriates, and international socialites navigating London society.
Additionally, the network confirmed a revival of "Shahs of Sunset" in a new format titled "The Valley: Persian Style". Original "Shahs" cast members Reza Farahan, Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi, and Mercedes "MJ" Javid are set to return. The show will focus on their lives in the Valley area of Los Angeles, highlighting their enduring friendship and connection to Persian culture as they face new life stages and challenges.
A reimagined version of the "Wife Swap" docuseries is also slated, titled "Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition." This program will feature cast members from different "Real Housewives" series trading lives.
The announcement follows recent viewership successes for several of Bravo's existing shows. According to the network, seasons of "RHOSLC season 5," "Southern Hospitality season 3," "RHOM season 6," and "Summer House season 9" have achieved high viewership numbers.
The expanded programming slate includes planned renewals for various popular shows such as "Below Deck Med," "Below Deck Down Under," "Married to Medicine," "Southern Charm," "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," "The Real Housewives of Orange County," and "The Real Housewives of Potomac."
