The “Real Housewives of New York City” reboot is officially on the way.
Andy Cohen finally revealed the all-new — and diverse — cast for Season 14 of the long-running series at BravoCon 2022 on Sunday.
Bravo is introducing seven “Housewives” to the franchise: creative director Sai De Silva, model and philanthropist Ubah Hassan, home renovation guru Erin Dana Lichy, former J. Crew president Jenna Lyons, influencer Lizzy Savetsky, fashion publicist and brand consultant Jessel Taank, and brand marketing and communications professional Brynn Whitfield.
Production begins this fall, and the season premieres in 2023.
The network first announced it was rebooting “RHONY” in March — in addition to launching a “Legacy” version of the show featuring Big Apple-based alums from its original run.
“You know that we’re at a crossroads for ‘RHONY,’” Cohen, the executive producer, said at the time, referencing controversial storylines involving Ramona Singer and other longtime cast members.
“We’ve spent a lot of time figuring out where to go. And the plan that we’ve come up with, I think, is a real gift to the fans,” he continued.
Cohen also noted the two shows will “take into account everything that our passionate audience has really been telling us over the last year,” which saw “RHONY” ratings drop and the cancellation of the Season 13 reunion.
Casting was well underway by August when Page Six exclusively reported that Savetsky had joined the reboot.
Cohen, 54, shared another update on the future of “RHONY” as BravoCon kicked off on Friday, telling Page Six exclusively that the reboot was taking priority over “Legacy.”
“I hope that [fans are] happy with both. That’s all I can say. The truth of the matter is we have not spoken to any of our classic ‘RHONY’ women about ‘Legacy’ yet,” the “Watch What Happens Live” host told us.
“We really were waiting to get the ‘RHONY’ reboot right, and we really wanted to tell new stories, and we wanted to capture the energy in New York City, and I’m really happy with where we’re at.”
Cohen also made the surprising revelation that the show will be “representative of the city” and take place beyond the affluent Upper East Side neighborhood.
“It’s all over the city, and it’s aspirational,” he explained. “I think it’s legit. We’re definitely expanding beyond the the Upper East Side with these women.”
