Andy Cohen Sets the Record Straight on Why Bravo Put ‘Ladies of London’ on Pause

Andy Cohen is setting the record straight about why Bravo put “Ladies of London: The New Reign” on pause.

During a recent episode of SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live” on Radio Andy, Andy addressed speculation that the series was shelved because of a reported lawsuit involving cast member Margo Stilley. Instead, he told listeners the answer was much simpler.

“Here’s the thing: When shows get on pause or aren’t picked up, it is because the ratings are not good enough. So that’s the thing,” Andy explained.

The “Watch What Happens Live” host also made it clear that the decision wasn’t because the network didn’t appreciate the series.

Andy Cohen Calls ‘Ladies of London’ a ‘Beloved Show’

While discussing the show’s future, Andy described “Ladies of London” as a “beloved show.”

His co-host, John Hill, agreed, adding, “People were upset.”

Honestly? We are those people.

The reboot premiered on Bravo in March after the original “Ladies of London” aired for three seasons between 2014 and 2017. The franchise returned in 2025 with an entirely new cast, but after just one season, Bravo confirmed it had been placed “on pause” — a phrase the network often uses instead of officially canceling a series.

The show was notably missing from Bravo’s renewal announcements during NBCUniversal’s Upfront presentation in May, fueling speculation about its future.

After Andy’s comments were shared online, fans continued to rally behind the series.

“It was so good, and it had some actual authenticity. Just like ‘The Real Housewives of Miami.’ Idk what they’re doing,” one viewer commented.

Another wrote, “The show was fantastic. The question is, did it receive proper support and promotion?”

A third fan agreed, adding, “How about because there was ZERO promotion on Bravo TV. You had to discover it yourself on Peacock or by word of mouth.”

Others suggested Peacock could revive the series, pointing to “The Real Housewives of Miami,” which found new life after moving to the streaming platform.

For now, Bravo’s official stance remains that “Ladies of London: The New Reign” is on pause, but as longtime Bravo fans know, that doesn’t always mean goodbye forever.
