Andy Cohen sets the record straight on The Real Housewives of New York City after rumors that Bravo had cancelled the reality series.
The Watch What Happens Live host, also an executive producer on the Real Housewives franchise, took to his SiriusXM show to address the status of RHONY.
“We are between seasons,” Cohen said on Andy Cohen Live. “Last week, when I was here, the Bravo execs met with 10 potential new Real Housewives of New York. This is called the casting process between seasons and it’s heavily underway.”
The rumors about RHONY not moving forward came after Bravo announced their new programming slate which included new seasons of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (Season 15), The Real Housewives of Orange County (Season 19), The Real Housewives of Potomac (Season 10), and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (Season 6), among other shows. Notably missing from the list was a renewal for RHONY Season 16.
The announcement that Bravo had ordered The Real Housewives of Rhode Island fueled the rumors that RHONY was dead.
Despite the cable network confirming that the show was not canceled, the rumors have continued, given the extended pause since it last aired.
RHONY underwent a complete cast shakeup for Season 14, introducing a whole new set of Housewives, including Sai de Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank, and Brynn Whitfield. Racquel Chevremont joined the series in Season 15, which last aired on February 4.
New RHONY embraced diversity and showed a different side of the Big Apple. The change divided fans, with some viewers feeling nostalgic about the legacy personalities, including Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, and Ramona Singer.
