Bravo Boss Andy Cohen is reportedly working The Real Housewives of New Mexico

Subject: The Future of Bravo

Spill It to BravoandCocktails.com:

Southern Charm Kentucky is in very early development, with casting just begun.

Early development casting for Real Housewives of Las Vegas began in late 2025.

Early casting of Greek American friend group in Chicago – will be like Shahs/Family Karma.

If casting goes well, a pilot will be filmed. Then the pilot is sent to Bravo, and they decide whether to go forward with it. That’s why we see so many castings on Instagram: most never even make it to pilot because the casting isn’t good, and then it’s hard for Bravo to approve even after the pilot is made. Since Bravo wants a Chicago show, and housewives don’t seem to be working there, this will be another way to show Chicago. Kentucky casting might be quick, as they would probably like to film a pilot this May, showcasing Kentucky Derby

    A show around Irish Gypsies/Weddings would be brilliant. Also Vegas? Vegas is a ghost town due to the Tariffs. Would love to see a Canadian city in any format. Next Gen Toronto would slap.

    I live in Louisville and I’d love to jab a franchise here. The “socialites” are unhinged

    How is there talk about Seattle before Louisville? The money that’s here in Seattle is not like wealth in other places. Unfortunately, I think a Housewives show would be super boring. You don’t have a super lavish lifestyle here. That’s not how money works here.

    If they film anything in Seattle it should be about the art scene that is here. There’s a lot of artists (me!) and it would be so awesome to see a show about that. Even like a Gallery Girls type show, would be better than Housewives. I wish Bravo would actually talk with fans who can tell them what shows would thrive here. Somebody get me Andy and a camera.
