Will Bravo Expand ‘Real Housewives’ Franchise to Additional Cities? Andy Cohen Explains 

Andy Cohen is setting the record straight on the potential for more Real Housewives cities coming to the Bravo universe in the near future. 

At BravoCon 2023, the Real Housewives franchise executive producer appeared on the Ask Andy panel hosted by Bachelor Nation's Rachel Lindsay and teased a bit about what fans are hoping for. 

"There have been countless rumors, this past year specifically, about Bravo possibly looking to expand the Housewives to cities like Scottsdale, Vegas, New Orleans. How likely is that happening?" Lindsay directly asked Cohen on Saturday. "Do you want to debunk any of these rumors? Do you want to confirm some of these rumors?"

In reply, the Bravo star explained, "I think what happened in each of those cases were… This happens all the time. There will be production companies that go to a town and say, 'We are casting for this,' but sometimes they're casting on their own to bring a pitch to Bravo. So it's not necessarily us going out in those cities and casting."

As for Scottsdale, Arizona; Las Vegas, Nevada; and New Orleans, Louisiana, specifically?

"I think we have cast in one of those cities," he added. "But we don't have any new… I can tell you right now that there's no new Housewives that have crossed my desk that are in the offing. We're in a very strong period of Housewives right now. I don't think there's a hole in the marketplace for a new one."

Still, Lindsay pushed for a more concrete answer, telling Cohen: "As I said, we are insatiable.So you're saying that there's a possibility that we could expand?"

Cohen simply replied, "Yes."

There have been a dozen Housewives series in the United States, including The Real Housewives of Orange County, The Real Housewives of New York City, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, The Real Housewives of D.C. (which was short-lived with only one season), The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Real Housewives of Miami, The Real Housewives of Potomac, The Real Housewives of Dallas (which had a total of five seasons before ending in 2021), The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, The Real Housewives of Dubai and The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. 

The franchise also has led to international iterations and multiple spinoffs. 

This year's BravoCon continues through Sunday, Nov. 5, at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas. Some of the network's biggest names are attending the convention, including Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards, Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix and more.
