Woke Bravo fans freak out over lack of diversity as network airs show about white cowboys in Missouri
Woke Bravo fans are in meltdown mode after the network picked up a show about white cowboys and ranchers in Missouri. The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys premiered on Peacock last year, but has now been moved over to Bravo for its upcoming second season. Loyal viewers of Bravo's frothy franchises like The Real Housewives, Top Chef and Summer House recoiled in horror after learning that a show about white farmers and ranchers had made its way onto the network. One fan outrageously claimed that Bravo was turning into the a 'trash MAGA network' for airing The McBee Dynasty. In a follow up post, the fan admitted that they hadn't even watched The McBee Dynasty yet, but said they were upset over racially diverse shows like Family Karma and Summer House Martha's Vineyard being canceled over low ratings. 'They're not even trying anymore,' added one, while another wrote, 'Filming this over Family Karma and Summer House Martha's Vineyard is insane.' A third frantically added, 'The end times are coming!' 'We get all these shows of white people and rednecks yet little to no show of people of color - by that I mean Black and Hispanic,' wrote one. Another asked, 'So very out of place for this show to be on Bravo. Where's the wealth??? The fun??' However, the fans' inflammatory statement about the series also sparked backlash from other Bravo diehards. 'So much hate for farmers and ranchers, Hope your enjoying the food you eat everyday,' wrote one. 'Why can't there be something for everyone? 'And isn't all of Bravo trash TV anyways? Just don't watch the shows that do not appeal to you,' argued another. 'Really? You assume they are MAGA because of their ranch? Lol! A lot of conservative housewives get the axe,' a third wrote. A fourth said, 'Tell us how you really feel about American farmers. You're gross.' Another added, 'A new reality show that features a different area of the country beside the coasts and its immediately "white trash MAGA"'? Fans were completely divided by the series, with some slamming it for a lack of diversity, while others pushed back and threw their support behind the show Bravo currently features a number of non-white shows, including The Real Housewives of Potomac, Miami, and Atlanta, Married to Medicine, and Kings Court. Other shows with non-white casts include Shahs of Sunset, Texicanas, Family Karma, Kandi & the Gang, Mexican Dynasties, and The Real Housewives of Dubai, but they were all eventually canceled due to poor ratings. The McBee Dynasty, which premiered last year, has been dubbed 'the real life Yellowstone.' The series follows the high-stakes lives of Missouri cattle rancher Steve McBee Sr. and his four sons as they fight to save their 40,000-acre farm. As financial pressure mounts, Steve Sr.'s entanglement in a messy love triangle and the fallout from a failed $100 million deal threaten to unravel the family and business. Meanwhile, sons Steven Jr., Jesse, Cole, and Brayden clash over responsibilities and relationships, all while trying to prove themselves. Steve Sr. is absent from season two, after the patriarch pled guilty to a multi-million dollar fraud scheme involving federal crop insurance benefits that he was not entitled to receive. The stakes are even higher this season as Steven Jr. takes the reins from his father, who is facing up to 30 years in prison. He and his brothers, Jesse and Cole, are gearing up for harvest season in the hope that they can save the family's farm before it falls into foreclosure. Meanwhile, Bravo recently announced a slew of new programming and renewals coming to the network, including a brand new Housewives instalment, The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. New seasons of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Beverly Hills, Potomac, and Orange County were also confirmed, along with Married to Medicine, Southern Charm, and its spin-off Southern Hospitality. Other programs in the pipeline include a Ladies of London reboot, a spin-off of The Valley featuring an Armenian cast, and a Real Housewives version of Wife Swap.

Bravo Has Fans Buzzing With Slate of New Shows
It is a good time to be a Bravo fan. This week, the reality television network best known for its 'Real Housewives' franchise ordered a slate of new shows that seem to have something for everyone. There are new spinoffs featuring familiar stars, reboots of old series and even a crossover phenomenon. Here's what is known so far about the four new shows. 'The Real Housewives of Rhode Island' Fans have long speculated that the network would announce a new location for 'Real Housewives,' its flagship franchise of series that document the personal and professional lives of a group of women in a specific city or region. Many seemed to think Chicago would be considered, but the network surprised everyone this week by announcing 'The Real Housewives of Rhode Island' as the 11th location in the franchise. Bravo described the women who would be featured on the show as: 'A tight-knit circle of Rhode Islanders who have deep community roots and families that go back generations. With aspirational lives, thriving businesses and tangled family dynamics, these decade-long friendships prove that in a state this small, there's no escaping your past … or each other.' The cast and premiere date have yet to be officially revealed, but fans are already speculating on social media, with unverified lists of potential women. 'Ladies of London' After eight years off the air, Bravo announced that 'Ladies of London' — imagine a 'Real Housewives' show but with British royalty, international socialites and American expats — was returning to the network. 'As tradition clashes with the fast-paced globalized world, these power players redefine what it means to be a woman of status in one of the most iconic cities in the world,' the news release said. Bravo has not revealed who will be included in the cast, but it's unlikely to feature the original show's socialite star, Caroline Stanbury, as she's left Britain for the United Arab Emirates as a member of 'The Real Housewives of Dubai.' 'The Valley: Persian Style' Who knew the San Fernando Valley was such a hotbed for interpersonal drama? After the success of the 'Vanderpump Rules' spinoff show 'The Valley,' which follows the lives of married Bravolebrities living in the suburbs of Los Angeles, there's now 'The Valley: Persian Style.' The new offering is basically two spinoff shows combined: 'The Valley' and 'Shahs of Sunset,' a show that aired from 2012 to 2021 and followed the lives of Persian influencers in Los Angeles. 'The Valley: Persian Style' will feature the former 'Shahs of Sunset' stars Reza Farahan, Golnesa Gharachedaghi (who goes by GG) and Mercedes Javid (who goes by MJ). The cast members 'share a deep connection to their Persian culture, something that runs just as strong in the group of friends they now call family,' the new release for the show said. 'As they take on the next stage of life in the Valley, their world is bigger, their circle is bolder and their challenges are more real than ever.' 'Love you all and so happy to be back and REPRESENTING,' Ms. Gharachedaghi wrote on Instagram after the announcement, while Mr. Farahan posted 'Coming home to Bravo feels so good!' 'Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition' The last new series Bravo announced is also a combination of two franchises: Bravo's 'Real Housewives,' and 'Wife Swap,' an ABC reality show that aired from 2004 to 2010 in which two wives leading very different lives swapped children, husbands and homes. In this new iteration, Real Housewives will trade lives with real housewives, which Bravo's release said would lead to 'laugh-out-loud moments, personal epiphanies and an opportunity to see if the grass is truly greener.' Bravo has been scant on details — including which Housewives will participate and when the show will premiere — but fans are already building their dream casts.
