In recent discussions surrounding the future of the iconic franchise, The Real Housewives of New York City (RHONY), Andy Cohen has made his stance clear. On May 10, 2023, after an article titled “Bye-Bye, RHONY” was published by The Cut, Cohen commented on Instagram, refuting claims that the show was canceled. This denial comes amidst escalating rumors which suggest that the show’s future is uncertain following its 15-season run.
Insights from Bravo and Production Team
Contrary to the reports, a Bravo spokesperson has conveyed that nothing is official yet and confirmed that RHONY has not been canceled. Despite the speculation, insiders suggest that final decisions are still pending as the network evaluates the best way forward for the series, which originally premiered in 2008. There have been concerns regarding the cast dynamics and ongoing disputes, which have further complicated the decision-making process.
The Cast and Viewer Reception
The current season of RHONY featured an entirely new cast, leading to mixed feedback from fans. With tensions notably high during the reunion episodes, it seems that the audience’s connection to the new group of Housewives has not met expectations. Fans are expressing disappointment over the absence of the original cast, leading to a significant drop in viewer ratings.
