Stream It Or Skip It: ‘The Real Housewives Of Miami' Season 7 On Bravo, Where Alexia Nepola And Larsa Pippen's Breakups Are Immediately Addressed
It's been more than a year since The Real Housewives of Miami wrapped its sixth season, but the hit Bravo show is finally back — and the ladies are bringing the heat. Executive producer Andy Cohen has been teasing Season 7 for a while now, telling fans on Watch What Happens Live that this season is 'unbelievable' and that the dramatic teaser didn't even 'scratch the surface.' But was he right? We watched the first episode to decide for ourselves. Keep reading for our full review of The Real Housewives of Miami's Season 7 premiere:
Opening Shot: Five months before production for Season 7 was supposed to begin, Todd Nepola shockingly filed for divorce from Alexia Nepola after two years of marriage. When Bravo decided to pick up cameras early (in April 2024, days after Todd filed), Alexia shared her side of the story, revealing that she was, indeed, 'blindsided' by his decision to end their marriage.
The Gist: While everyone came together to support Alexia in the wake of her separation, some friendships took a turn for the worse in the five months between Todd's divorce filing and the actual start of production. In the premiere episode of The Real Housewives of Miami Season 7, tensions are already boiling between Lisa Hochstein and Larsa Pippen, and Julia Lemigova and Guerdy Abraira. But the drama, particularly between Lisa and Larsa, all comes to a head when they come face to face at Jody's birthday party.
What Shows Will This Remind You Of? The Real Housewives of Miami is just like any other Real Housewives show — just a little spicier and, at times, a lot louder.
Our Take: The Real Housewives of Miami has had an interesting run. The show aired on Bravo for its first three seasons before it was placed on pause. Eight years later, it was revived on Peacock for Season 4 and Season 5 — and finally brought back to Bravo for Season 6 and, now, Season 7. Giving this franchise a second chance on Bravo was, truth be told, one of the smartest decisions the network has made (besides giving Cohen his own talk show). The drama is always top-tier, the aesthetics are chic, and the women are just the right amount of delulu that keeps Bravoholics coming back for more — and Season 7 is no different.
So much has happened since we last saw the Miami ladies on our screens. Alexia has gotten divorced (even though she and Todd seem to be back together in some capacity), Larsa and Marcus Jordan's fairytale relationship has come to an end, and Julia has welcomed two new members to her family. The good thing? Almost every single life update is addressed in the Season 7 premiere. Confrontations are held. Tears are shed. Heck, we even get a theme party! Essentially, everything we love about The Real Housewives is right there in Episode 1 — and if they can keep that same momentum through all 10+ episodes, Bravo fans are surely in for a treat. I think it's safe to say that Cohen was right about this one, folks.
Sex and Skin: The closest we get to sex and skin is Adriana making out with her new French boyfriend on the couch at Jody's birthday party.
Sleeper Star: Kiki Barth has what it takes to be the star of The Real Housewives of Miami — if only Bravo would give her a full-time contract! She's gorgeous, she's honest, and her witty confessionals are next level. It's time that Kiki finally gets the recognition she deserves.
Most Pilot-y Line: 'She's crazy. She's drunk and stupid. And she is a bitch.' I don't normally pick catty lines for this one, but I can already see this getting turned into a viral TikTok audio. Thank you, Larsa!
Our Call: STREAM IT. The Real Housewives of Miami Season 7 is on FYAH.
The Real Housewives of Miami premieres Wednesday, June 11 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.

Todd Chrisley breaks social media silence after 2 years: Here's what he said
Todd Chrisley breaks social media silence after 2 years: Here's what he said Show Caption Hide Caption Todd Chrisley speaks after Trump pardon, release from prison Reality TV star Todd Chrisley made his first public statement after he and his wife Julie received a pardon from President Donald Trump. Todd Chrisley has broken his social media silence for the first time since he went to prison for bank fraud and tax evasion. On June 12, the 56-year-old "Chrisley Knows Best" star took to Instagram to celebrate one of his children's achievements. Youngest son Grayson Chrisley, 19, made the dean's list after his first semester at the University of Alabama. "God is good all the time, @graysonchrisley," Todd captioned his post. "I love you to the moon and back and we couldn't be more proud, you have shown great character and fortitude and stood with your lord and savior amidst the fire and came out the other side never smelling of smoke, you are proof of (God's) word." The caption continued, "Stand tall, stand true and stand for your fellow brothers in Christ. I love you Gray Gray." More than 14,000 undergraduate students who earned a GPA of at least 3.5 made UA's dean's list in the spring semester; those who earn a 4.0 end up on the president's list. Fall semester enrollment totaled around 34,000 students, with spring enrollment numbers not yet released. Where does Grayson Chrisley go to college? Older sister Savannah Chrisley, 27, announced Grayson was moving to college in January. She shared clips from move-in day, captioning the post, "And just like that… my baby brother is off to college. Moving Grayson into the University of Alabama this weekend has been one of the hardest and most beautiful moments of my life. The past two years, Gray had every reason to give up, but instead, he showed up for himself and for the people he loves." Savannah continued, "We've never been apart… ever. And my heart feels like it's shattered into a million pieces. But my overwhelming sadness is matched only by the pride I feel watching him chase his dreams." What happened to Julie and Todd Chrisley? Todd's post came more than two weeks after he was released from FPC Pensacola in Florida, where he'd served more than two years of his nine-year prison sentence, following a full pardon from President Trump. When asked during a May 30 press conference whether he had any remorse for the crimes for which he was convicted, Todd said, "I'd have remorse if it was something that I did." In June 2022, Todd and wife Julie Chrisley, who portrayed themselves as real estate tycoons in the South on their USA Network shows, were found guilty of conspiring to defraud community banks in Atlanta out of more than $36 million. The pair was accused of running a scheme that, through fraudulent loans, defrauded the IRS and committed tax evasion. Julie Chrisley was additionally convicted of obstruction of justice and wire fraud. Trump pardons reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley President Trump called Savannah Chrisley from the Oval Office in the White House to tell her he wanted to pardon her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley. Todd Chrisley was initially sentenced to 12 years in prison, while Julie Chrisley received a seven-year sentence, and both reported to their respective federal prisons in January 2023. On May 27, Trump called the Chrisleys' middle daughter, Savannah Chrisley, to let her know her parents were "going to be free and clean, and I hope we can do it by tomorrow." When Savannah took the podium at the May 30 press conference, she announced that the "Chrisley Knows Best" stars would be returning to reality television. Filming has apparently already begun on a new show that will document the reunification of Todd and Julie Chrisley.

Tony Todd reflects on mortality in exclusive ‘Final Destination Bloodlines' featurette
Final Destination Bloodlines, the sixth film in the death-defying franchise, brought the series back to life, earning strong reviews and more than a quarter-billion dollars at the global box office. As the film heads to home video—most likely setting off a Rube Goldberg machine that will wind up flinging a disc into your Blu-ray player—Gold Derby has an exclusive look at one of the special features being included on the release. More from GoldDerby 'Feel good about not conforming': Christina Ricci reflects on her iconic roles, from Wednesday Addams to Misty Quigley 'The show is a true fluke': '100 Foot Wave' executive producer on how they chase big waves across the globe How Anna Camp played twins with a twist on 'You' Longtime fans of Final Destination were treated to one of the final on-screen performances by horror icon Tony Todd, who reprised his role as Bludworth in Bloodlines, and some long-withheld details about who he is and why he knows so much about death. On-set, Todd spoke with a behind-the-scenes crew candidly about his own mortality and how he related to Bludworth in one final appearance. "We're acknowledging a passage of time, and I'm not immortal," Todd says in the clip. "I'm struggling with my lifelines just like everybody else. I have to make sense of this character, who he is, where he's coming from, what it is he really wants." The filmmakers strived to make the send-off one worthy of Todd and his character's legacy with the series. "Tony very much appreciated what we have done in Final Destination 6 to give his character a perspective and a grounding in the real world," producer Craig Perry says. Final Destination Bloodlines will be available digitally on June 17 and on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on July 22.
