Real Housewives of New York City to rebooted with a NEW CAST after 13 seasons

Bravo is set to reboot and completely recast The Real Housewives of New York City after 13 seasons. 

The network is said to be searching for a more diverse group of friends who best reflect one of the most multi-cultural cities in America.

It comes after the most recent season saw declining ratings, and did not receive the all-important reunion episode.  

The current line-up of stars are Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, Leah McSweeney, and Eboni K. Williams. 

While those Housewives will not be featured in the main show, there will be a second spin-off show featuring past beloved stars, with a working title of ‘RHONY Throwback.’   

Executive producer Andy Cohen revealed the news in an interview with Variety.

Cohen, 53, said the two-part strategy ‘takes into account everything that our passionate audience has really been telling us over the last year,’ and will involve ‘rebooting and recasting’ the series from scratch.

‘You know that we’re at a crossroads for RHONY,’ Cohen told the outlet. ‘We’ve spent a lot of time figuring out where to go. And the plan that we’ve come up with, I think, is a real gift to the fans.’ 

Last year, a spokesperson from Bravo told DailyMail.com that the reunion show for RHONY had been cancelled. 

‘Due to scheduling challenges around taping the reunion of “The Real Housewives of New York City” in a timely manner, Bravo confirmed there will not be a reunion for this season,’ they said.  

The first season of RHONY premiered on March 4, 2008, with season 13 finale airing August 31, 2021.
