Bravo reveals recasting plans for RHONY
The Real Housewives of New York City made a franchise record last year when it became the first Housewives season not to film a reunion. The show had low views after an attempt to add diversity and a new character to the show.
Andy Cohen revealed that fans should expect a shakeup in the cast.
Andy told Variety, “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.”
The Real Housewives of New York City will have a new cast, and OG favorites will return in a different show. Andy explained, “Our loyal fans have spoken as to what they want to see and what they don’t want to see…this is a series where you’re going to expect to see fan-favorites from the show’s great history.”
He continued, “We’re looking for a group of women who are real friends, and who are of diverse backgrounds, races, and religions.”
The Real Housewives of New York is currently on hiatus on Bravo.
