The Real Housewives: Coming to a City Near You?!?

Look out below, citizens of America!


A few tables may soon be flipped over right around the corner from where you currently reside.



We’re mostly kidding, but Andy Cohen was very serious on Wednesday, sitting down with Amy Phillips on her Sirius XM radio program, “Reality Checked,” and teasing that a fresh batch of Real Housewives are on their way to a new locale.


When might this show air on Bravo? Cohen would not say.


When might we learn the city in which it will be based? “Sooner than you think,” he replied.


The Real Housewives franchise remains on the air in New Jersey… Orange County… Beverly Hills… Atlanta… and New York.


Efforts to expand it into D.C. and Miami failed after one poorly-rated season apiece.



There’s also a Real Housewives Melbourne in Australia, but Cohen (an executive producer for the Bravo franchise) has nothing to do with it and told Phillips he’s “never even seen it.”


Over the years, Housewives such as NeNe Leakes and Bethenny Frankel have used these shows to catapult themselves into other mainstream industries and businesses.


Conversely, Teresa Giudice has used the series to lie to the federal government and go to jail.


Where will the Housewives end up next? Our money is on Austin, Texas. Or at least a city down south somewhere. 


While we ponder the destination of these future Housewives, let’s also take a look back at past cast members who have left this franchise.


Most haven’t exactly gone on to bigger or better things…
