Bravoholics, this is not a drill!!! Bravo, our favorite visual anthropological resource (History Channel, who, Nat Geo found dead) has announced four brand new reality shows, and I’m pretty sure this announcement is going to forever change our bond and the trajectory of our lives. Like, I’m the biggest Housewives fan in recorded history, and even I can admit some of these franchises have been begging for the ax for a few seasons now (I’m looking at you, RHONJ).

That seems to be why Andy Cohen is spoiling us with a new Real Housewives franchise, a return of a Bravo 2000s classic, a Shahs-inspired spinoff, and an entirely new concept in one fell swoop. I feel like Christmas, my birthday, and Valentine’s Day came early, all at once, because I’m already in love with this premium new content that is going to spare me from a third front-to-back RHONY rewatch (who am I kidding, that’s probs gonna happen anyway, but still). If, like me, you can’t wait a second longer, here’s a breakdown of the new Bravo shows.

What are the new shows Bravo just announced?

The Real Housewives Of Rhode Island

I am literally kicking my feet with glee that we are not only getting a fresh new Housewives city, but one with old money and a small-town feel. Rhode Island is the 23rd richest state in the US, which is pretty freaking impressive considering it’s the smallest territory in the country with a humble population of around 1 million (making it the eight least populated contiguous state). New England is also a v promising choice since they have WASPs, Elizabeth Warren types, and Martha’s Vineyard regulars rubbing elbows. Bravo says we can expect “a tight-knit circle of Rhode Islanders who have deep community roots and families that go back generations,” making it way too messy to “escape [their] pasts… or each other.” Oh yes, I’m sat as fuck.

Is Caroline Stanbury returning to Ladies of London?

Naturally, I have a completely unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that Caroline is returning the reboot we’ve been BEGGING for since Dubai is on pause. I am a bit confused, since Bravo did previously announce that The Real Housewives of London was already filming, but this must mean the casting team found so much talent it warranted a whole ‘nother show, which is pub music to my ears. Caroline, Juliet, her ex-sister-in-law Sophie (both of whom she’s still close with), plus some fresh British blood would be an absolute delight.

Who is on The Valley Persian Style?

Reza, GG, and MJ are back, baby! (And none for Mike because he’s dealing with serious alleged legal woes but Destiny’s destiny with the group seems TBD.) Bravo’s announcement shares the show will follow the three OGs “as they take on the next stage of life in the Valley,” getting right back to the “fiery clashes” and “Persian culture” that made the first nine seasons 10/10 TV.

Which Housewives will be on Wife Swap?

Bravo has said that the show will feature “two of entertainment’s most iconic franchises” being “mashed up,” which implies that cast members from two different cities will switch places for our viewing pleasure. However, the announcement also mentions that Real Housewives will live as “real housewives,” kind of implying they could also be switching roles with normal, not famous, everyday moms?!?! I’m really hoping it’s option #2.

When is the Real Housewives of Rhode Island coming out?

With the show just being announced, and Real Housewives of London, plus RHOM still to come in 2025, we shouldn’t expect RHOR (okay cute acronym) until 2026.

When is the new Shahs coming out?

Since it’s a returning cast, who sounds like they’ve already been filming, it’s totally possible we could have the Shahs back on our screens toward the end of 2025.

When is the Ladies of London coming back?

The premiere date for the Ladies of London reboot has not yet been shared, so the show could premiere as early as 2026 or as late as 2027.

When is Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition coming out?

While Bravo still hasn’t shared the official release for the Wife Swap reboot, this switcharoo is super easy to film in one-off episodes, so I’d expect episodes soon rather than later.
