Andy Cohen is assuring The Real Housewives of New York City fans that the Bravo reality show is not canceled.
“I don’t know how else to say it,” Cohen, 56, said on the Tuesday, May 13, episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live. “We are between seasons on the Housewives, but what’s so interesting is last week when I was here, the Bravo execs met with 10 potential new Real Housewives of New York.”

Season 15 of The Real Housewives of New York City featured Sai de Silva, Jenna Lyons, Erin Lichy, Ubah Hassan, Racquel Chevremont, Brynn Whitfield and Jessel Taank. Rebecca Minkoff was a “friend” of the cast but previously announced she would not be returning to the show.
The Real Housewives of New York City’s Jessel Taank is breathing a sigh of relief after Bravo cleared up rumors swirling about the reality show. After a Bravo spokesperson confirmed to Us Weekly on Friday, May 9 that the series has not officially been axed, Taank reacted to the report. “What an emotional rollercoaster..,” Taank, […]
While it’s unclear who Bravo executives have been interviewing, Julia Fox claimed she was recently approached by the network to star on the show.
“They fully wanted me to be on RHONY,” she said in a TikTok live captured via a fan site. “I did an interview for it and everything, and then I had this moment where I was like, ‘Honestly, I don’t even think that I can save that franchise.’ The women are amazing individually. I just don’t see them working. It just doesn’t work together. I think they need to do a full reboot.”
The Real Housewives of New York City is streaming now on Peacock.
