Andy Cohen talks about delay of ‘The Actual Housewives of New York Metropolis’
Andy Cohen is setting the report straight — The Actual Housewives of New York Metropolis shouldn’t be getting the boot.
Regardless of a flurry of clicky headlines suggesting the enduring Bravo franchise is completed for good, Cohen made it crystal clear on the Might 13 episode of Andy Cohen Stay that the present is just, properly, between seasons.
“I don’t know how else to say it, we are between seasons on the Housewives,” stated the 56-year-old govt producer, including a be aware of disbelief over the continued hypothesis.
And to additional squash the rumors, he shared, “What’s so interesting is, 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. That’s why nothing has been announced.”
In different phrases: the women of New York aren’t leaving your screens, they’re simply making a modern late entrance.
“So I don’t know what to say. It’s really odd. It just keeps going on and on. There you go,” Cohen concluded.
Brynn Whitfield, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank, Ubah Hassan, and Sai De Silva introduced new aptitude to the rebooted collection, with Racquel Chevremont stepping in for season 15.
“I think the group dynamic is a little bit of a challenge this season,” Cohen candidly informed Deadline again in November 2024.
“I think the rap on the group in Season 1 was, ‘Oh, there’s not a lot of history there.’ The interesting thing about them this season is they hang out a lot and they are a cohesive group.”
Nonetheless, Cohen is backing his reboot squad like a real Bravo boss. “I really believe in this group of women. I think they’re very aspirational. I think they’re fun to watch. I think the clothes and the window into a different kind of New York is all what we wanted it to be.”
In fact, RHONY’s OG lineup — together with Bethenny Frankel, Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Ramona Singer, and Luann de Lesseps — is ceaselessly etched in Bravo historical past.
Cohen gave them their due, saying, “We had 13 great seasons, plus a Girls Trip with that group of women, which is an incredible accomplishment.”
“A lot changed, a lot shifted in [their] world and in life — Sonja is now living in Florida, Ramona basically lives in Florida. Things have shifted.”
And now? “So with this group of RHONY, we’re kind of looking to the future with them,” Cohen shared. “I loved the original, but this is a new group.”
So there it’s: not cancelled, simply evolving — with a glam squad and an aspirational zip code in tow.
