Bravo Announces "The Real Housewives of Rhode Island" – A Fresh Addition to Its Iconic Franchise
Bravo has officially confirmed the production of "The Real Housewives of Rhode Island," marking the franchise’s expansion after nearly two decades and ten other successful locations. While details on the cast, filming locations, and release date remain under wraps, the network emphasizes the show’s premise of exploring "aspirational lives, thriving businesses, and tangled family dynamics" that highlight the state’s close-knit communities.
Executive Director of Rhode Island’s Film and TV Office, Steve Feinberg, confirmed that Rhode Island was a top contender against several other states for this anticipated project. "Nobody compares to Rhode Island," he stated, expressing excitement over the show’s potential to showcase the Ocean State. The announcement also sparked social media speculation back in December, with fans sharing their thoughts on which towns deserved a feature.
Despite the buzz, it is important to note that reality shows are not eligible for tax credits available to scripted productions in Rhode Island. Recent films shot in the region include HBO’s "The Gilded Age" and "Ella McCay," directed by James L. Brooks.
Governor Dan McKee has welcomed the upcoming series, inviting its millions of viewers to explore Rhode Island’s vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and rich culinary scene. The show is produced by Evolution Media, with notable executive producers including Jen McClure-Metz, Joseph Ferraro, Lucilla D’Agostino, and Andy Cohen.
In addition to "The Real Housewives of Rhode Island," Bravo announced three other new shows: "Ladies of London," "The Valley Persian Style," and "Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition." As excitement builds, all eyes are now on Rhode Island as it prepares to join the ranks of this beloved reality series.
