Bravo is making waves in the reality television landscape with its latest announcements, revealing a fresh lineup of shows that are set to captivate audiences. On May 7, 2025, the network confirmed the return of the beloved series Ladies of London, alongside an exciting new spinoff titled The Valley: Persian Style, and a unique mashup reboot called Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition. Additionally, Bravo is expanding its iconic franchise with the introduction of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, marking the twelfth American installment in the franchise.
Ladies of London originally aired for three seasons starting in 2014 and followed the lives of six women navigating the social scene in the British capital. The upcoming revival promises to showcase a "new wave of British blue bloods, ambitious American expats, and glamorous international socialites," though casting details have yet to be revealed. The original cast included notable personalities such as Juliet Angus, Caprice Bourret, Marissa Hermer, Annabelle Neilson, and Caroline Stanbury, among others, who brought a mix of drama and elegance to the series.
Meanwhile, The Valley: Persian Style will reunite stars Reza Farahan, Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi, and Mercedes "MJ" Javid, who previously appeared on the hit series Shahs of Sunset for nine seasons. This new iteration will follow the trio as they navigate the next stages of their lives in the Valley, bringing their unique perspectives and experiences back to the screen. Bravo launched the second season of The Valley just a month prior to this announcement, indicating a strong commitment to expanding this franchise.
In a creative twist, Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition will feature a member of the Real Housewives franchise stepping into the shoes of a traditional housewife, promising to blend the familiar chaos of both formats. While the specific housewives involved have not been disclosed, the concept is sure to generate intrigue among fans of both shows. The original Wife Swap series ran for six seasons on ABC and two seasons on Paramount Network, establishing a legacy of entertaining family dynamics.
Bravo's announcements don't stop there. The network has also confirmed the renewal of several popular reality shows, including Below Deck Med for its tenth season, Below Deck Down Under for its fourth season, and Married to Medicine for its twelfth season. Other renewed series include Southern Charm (Season 11), Southern Hospitality (Season 4), 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).
As Bravo continues to expand its reality television offerings, the network is also moving forward with previously renewed shows such as Below Deck, Next Gen NYC, The Real Housewives of Miami, Kings Court, and Vanderpump Rules. Additionally, The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys is set to transition from Peacock to Bravo for its second season.
The Real Housewives franchise has been a cornerstone of Bravo's programming since its inception with The Real Housewives of Orange County in March 2006. Since then, it has spawned eleven stateside series, numerous international adaptations, and countless spin-offs. The most recent addition to the franchise, The Real Housewives of Dubai, was canceled after two seasons in 2024, highlighting the unpredictable nature of reality TV success.
Bravo's commitment to its reality programming is evident, and with the addition of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, the network aims to capture the essence of a tight-knit community with deep roots and intertwined family dynamics. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Ocean State, the new series promises aspirational lives and complex relationships, showcasing that in such a small state, there’s no escaping your past—or each other.
As fans eagerly await the return of these beloved series and the introduction of new ones, Bravo's strategic focus on franchises reflects a broader trend in reality television where networks continue to capitalize on established brands. The excitement surrounding these announcements is palpable, and it remains to be seen how these new iterations will resonate with audiences.
With a lineup that includes both familiar faces and fresh concepts, Bravo is poised to keep viewers engaged and entertained. As the network rolls out these new shows, fans can look forward to a mix of drama, friendship, and the glamorous lifestyles that have become synonymous with the Real Housewives brand.
In a television landscape that is ever-evolving, Bravo’s commitment to producing engaging reality content ensures that it remains a key player in the industry. With its diverse offerings, the network is set to continue making headlines and capturing the attention of reality TV enthusiasts across the nation.
