Huge reality show taken off air 20 years after debut with no plans for return
A huge stateside reality television show is getting ready to bow out and not return. One of Bravo's flagship shows is reportedly being removed from the small screen almost 20 years on from its premiere.
According to reports, The Real Housewives of New York City has no firm plans to return, despite its popularity. Since launching in 2008, the show has consistently been one of the most popular series in the reality TV schedule across the pond.
Many famous faces have launched their career on the back of appearing in the show, including the likes of Bethenny Frankel, Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Jill Zarin and Kelly Bensimon.
Now, according to Page Six, the network is taking RHONY off air and hopes to reconfigure it. However, there's said to be no great expectation for it to return in a hurry.
The series first went on hiatus in 2021 before returning with a brand new cast in 2023.
Now, a source told the publication: "We're trying to figure that show out. We want to figure it out. We think there's still life in it.'
But they failed to set a return date, stating no plan had yet been put in place. The news will upset fans of the franchise, and some will fear its lengthy absence will rival that of The Real Housewives of Miami.
The Miami version was initially cancelled in 2013. It waited years before making a comeback in 2021.
The insider stated that while the show should make a comeback one day, it is likely it won't be with all of its current cast.
The publication stated however, that the New York offering was stumbling due to cast members distancing themselves from the production. A source said: "At this point they seen peoples marriages ruined, their kids lives ruined, their businesses ruined. It's just not a very desirable thing to sign up for."
A Bravo spokesperson told the publication: 'Nothing is official. The show hasn't been canceled.'
Several Housewives franchise shows have hit the pause button recently. In May 2023, The Real Housewives of New Jerse was paused due to feuding co-stars Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga. Eventually, filming continued, but it had to be put on ice while execs worked on a plan for a reboot.
Real Housewives of Rhode Island has been announced as a new instalment in the franchise, however. New seasons of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Beverly Hills, Potomac and Orange County have also been confirmed.

Bravo star Jennifer Welch claims 'fat' Trump voters should be banned from Mexican restaurants in explosive rant
A former Bravo star has been slammed after claiming 'fat a**' Trump voters should be 'banned' from Mexican, Chinese and Indian restaurants. Jennifer Welch, who formerly starred on short-lived reality show, Sweet Home, Oklahoma, took aim at white MAGA voters who support deporting illegal migrants but still have 'the audacity to walk into a Mexican restaurant.' Appearing on her I've Had It podcast, Welch ranted: 'I've had it with white people that triple Trumped. that have the nerve and the audacity to walk into a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, go to a gay hairdresser. 'I don't think you should be able to enjoy anything but Cracker Barrel.' Laying into 'triple Trumpers' - people who voted for Trump in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 elections - she said: 'If you want to triple Trump, if you want to brow beat DEI, if you want to brow beat gay people, you want to brow beat black people as you have been doing for hundreds of years… 'White people that triple Trumped should be boycotted, banned from enjoying the best thing that America has to offer, which is multiculturalism. Jennifer Welch took aim at white MAGA voters who support deporting immigrants but still have 'the audacity to walk into a Mexican restaurant - Trump pictured August 11 'Get your fat a***s out of the Mexican restaurant. Get your fat a***s over at a Cracker Barrel because nobody wants to see your f****ng smug a**, teeny weeny pink arm, big gut around. 'Nobody wants to see that s**t, no one.' Fans quickly slammed the 'pompous and arrogant' interior designer - with one writing: 'It's always the most intolerant and hateful pretending to love everyone. Others wrote: 'Yes listen to this elite rich white woman. 'What a pompous, arrogant thing to say. 'Uber Karen. I voted for Trump and I'm having a burrito with chorizo and spinach dip for lunch today. 'I know a lot of black, hispanic and Indian people who voted Trump three times as well. 'How about those Mexican-Americans, Thai, Chinese, Jewish, Muslim, black, Gay etc people that triple voted for Trump? I wonder what she thinks about them?' Back in April Welch had a tense debate with former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel when he joined I've Had It to discuss the problems within the Democratic Party. Emanuel previously served as Chicago's mayor from 2011 to 2019, was an adviser to President Bill Clinton, served as President Barack Obama 's chief of staff and was an ambassador to Japan under President Joe Biden. The two Democrats struggled to find a consensus on transgender rights and their conversation quickly morphed into a tense debate, hinting at a divide that may cause trouble in 2028. The issue has become a divisive topic across the aisle, but Republicans have seemed to find unity, while Democrats haven't formed a consensus on how to approach transgender rights. Welch, a more progressive member of the left, laid into Emanuel during their conversation when he accused Kamala Harris of not prioritizing economic issues, noting that Democrats weren't 'really good about the family room issues.' 'The only room we were doing really well was the bathroom, and that's the smallest room in the house,' he continued, referencing the ongoing debate about allowing transgender individuals to use the bathroom they prefer. The comment set Welch on a tirade, and she quickly responded that his claim was, 'total bulls**t.' Emanuel argued that transgender issues were 'tangential,' and not a core value on the left, to which Welch vehemently disagreed. 'I'm so sick of Democrats like you selling out and saying this. You know who talks about trans people more than anybody? MAGA. MAGA is the most genital-obsessed political party I have ever seen,' she said. Welch argued that Harris did have a comprehensive economic plan and even referenced the vice president's proposal to provide up to $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers. She went on to slam Donald Trump for 'droning on about Hannibal Lecter' and accused Democrats of losing because they're 'playing the game with the rulebook' while Republicans have 'ripped up the rulebook.' Emanuel then threw up his hands and pushed back, saying as mayor, he did deal with the 'bathroom issue' but that transgender rights were not a cornerstone of the Democratic party. 'They're the gender-obsessed weirdos, [Republicans], not us [Democrats]. We're the ones who fight for Social Security. We fight for Medicare, and yeah, we're not gonna bully trans people,' Welch argued.

From drinks with DiCaprio to £140k shopping sprees – meet 6 fiery Real Housewives of London as city finally joins series
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NEW YORK, Beverly Hills, Dubai and even Cheshire – there are few places the Real Housewives franchise has not been. And after 19 years on the air, the show is finally coming to London. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 8 From left: Juliet Mayhew, Amanda Cronin, Karen Loderick-Peace, Nessie Welschinger, Juliet Angus and Panthea Parker Credit: Getty It looks like Housewives gold — with six fiery castmates, the claws are out and you can expect a load of bitching, backstabbing, designer wardrobes, filler and out-of-touch elitism. As cast member Amanda Cronin tells it: 'No cost-of-living crisis here.' The Bravo franchise first came to Orange County, California in 2006 then hit New York, Atlanta and Miami — making stars of Teresa Giudice, NeNe Leakes, Bethenny Frankel and more. Since then, it has even spawned versions in Nigeria and Poland. Bravo tried to crack England with 2014 series Ladies Of London, which then ran for three series, but it was quietly retired after tragedies in the cast. Noelle Reno left in 2014 after her boyfriend died falling from the balcony of her London flat, and Annabelle Neilson died of a heart attack in 2018. But now The Real Housewives Of London is go — streamed by Hayu from Monday and promising corking champagne-fuelled feuds in Chelsea and Belgravia. During the season debut, a dinner to mark International Women's Day ends with, ahem, one of the housewives being called a 'chronic liar and insecure tart'. From hard partying with Leonardo DiCaprio, to £140,000 shopping sprees, here we profile the cast of the new series . . . Inside RHOC Season 18 Drama: Shocking Departures and Explosive Feuds Juliet Mayhew While her broad Aussie accent may not scream London elite, former actress Juliet is a fixture in wealthy Chelsea. The 47-year-old grew up in North Queensland until she was 12, when she was sent to a UK boarding school by her British parents. 8 Juliet Mayhew grew up in North Queensland until she was 12, when she was sent to a UK boarding school by her British parents Credit: Getty She describes herself as a creative director but also lists party organising and selling leather goods on her CV. Juliet has two teenage children Ophelia and Orlanda - named after Shakespeare characters - with her hedge fund manager Anthony. Devout christian Juliet has spoken out in the past about how she remained a virgin until she married her husband aged 28. She counts former Neighbours star Holly Valance - who is divorcing billionaire property tycoon Nick Candy - as a close friend. She says friend and Ladies of London OG cast member Caroline Stanbury - who once dated Prince Andrew - convinced her to take part in the show. Karen Loderick-Peace Karen, 50, might already be a familiar face. The mum-of-three has already appeared on the show's Jersey and Cheshire series and no doubt knows the drill. 8 Karen Loderick-Peace has already appeared on the show's Jersey and Cheshire series and no doubt knows the drill Credit: Instagram Married to ex-West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace, whose net worth is an estimated £175million, the couple own two London properties, three UK homes and a private jet to boot. Their six-storey Belgravia mansion is undergoing a £4.5million renovation including an indoor pool for Karen, who confesses she can't swim. Born in Jamaica, Karen came to London in her twenties to study fashion and she's put her degree to good use with a wardrobe packed with Roberto Cavalli designer togs. She said: 'I've always been glamorous, because being from the Caribbean we exude glamour.' Juliet Angus As the only Ladies of London cast member to join the RHOLND cast, stylist Juliet can teach the cast a thing or two about drama. In the 2014 series, she repeatedly clashed with other housewives including an episode where she angrily refused to eat veal calling the meat 'Bambi'. 8 Juliet Angus has told how she schmoozed with celebs in Los Angeles before she settled down Credit: Getty The Chicago native, 49, has told how she schmoozed with celebs in Los Angeles before she settled down. Lindsay Lohan is godmother to one of her children, in her twenties dated comedian Bob Saget who died in 2022 and has partied with Leonardo di Caprio. She said: 'I had a dance-off one time at this club, Joseph's, with Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Every night it was a different club.' But all that changed when she met Canadian media exec husband Gregor and the pair settled down in London in 2011. As an influencer, Juliet has amassed 330,000 instagram followers and has started her own jewellery line, toting her net worth up to an estimated £4.4million. Aside from influencing, she's often hosting soirees at her Notting Hill home - often enlisting chefs from sushi restaurant Nobu to do the catering. Amanda Cronin Skincare entrepreneur and influencer Amanda, 56, has already designated herself 'queen bee' of the series. Dubbed 'the longest legs in Belgravia', it's no wonder the Hampshire native was scouted as a model in her youth and ended up partying on Monacan superyachts. 8 Amanda Cronin has already designated herself 'queen bee' of the series Credit: Getty She landed a reportedly huge settlement from her second husband First Utility boss Mark Daeche in 2019 rumoured to be near the £40million mark. Following her divorce she dated Wham!'s Andrew Ridgely but the pair went their separate ways in 2023. Now she lives the high life with a £10million jewellery collection and a Belgravia property portfolio, presumably funded by selling £3,000 facials to her equally elite customers. And she's no stranger to reality TV - she appeared in Channel 4's the Millionairess and Me in 2022. Bizarrely, she claims to have never watched the Real Housewives franchise. Nessie Welschinger NOT so much a housewife, Nessie is a former investment banker and now a baker to the stars. Her cakes - which sell for up to £15,000 - are enjoyed by A-Listers and she even whipped up a vanilla cake for Queen Elizabeth II for her 90th birthday. 8 Nessie Welschinger is a former investment banker and now a baker to the stars Credit: Getty Her company the Chelsea Cake Company counts London hotels Claridges and THe Ritz among her clients. But she is a relative newcomer to the world of reality TV, having only taken part in Bake Off: The Professionals in 2021. But the mum-of three is friends with co-star Juliet Angus who may have talked the relatively down-to-earth Nessie round. The 42-year-old Londoner says she met her husband mining mogul Remy at Limehouse tube station in 2006. Since then, their life has become decidedly more glamorous with a lavish Chelsea home and a 500-year-old country estate in the Cotswolds to their names.

The 51-year-old tells how she took her cheating ex-husband's credit card on a £140,000 shopping spree in one day. 8 Panthea Parker flies the flag for retail therapy in the series Credit: Getty She said: 'It felt really good.' Born in Iran, Panthea moved to the UK aged four and grew up in Pimlico.

She partied in posh nightclub Annabel's in the 90s with A-list pals who, she says, have barred her from mentioning them on the show. Now married to top lawyer Edmund Parker, the couple count former home secretary Suella Braverman as a pal. In the trailer, she says she will grill King Charles III on Prince Harry's behaviour at a Buckingham Palace garden party before Ed warns her not to. The mum-of-three says she's a fan of botox and is planning to get a facelift next year. 'London has big heels to fill' THE Real Housewives Of Cheshire's Lauren Simon, 53, says . . . "We've bared our souls on Cheshire – divorces, marriages, vow renewals. London has a lot to live up to but they're going to smash it. I've met Amanda Cronin – beautiful, feisty, not afraid to marry and divorce as a hobby. Karen, who once filmed with us, is quietly confident. I'll never forget watching her eat a fish eye in Malta. Good luck, London – you've got big heels to fill.'
