Bravo Begins Production on New Docu-Drama

NEW YORK, September 21:
Production is underway on a new docu-drama from Bravo, tentatively titled Manhattan
Moms
, which follows a group of New
York-based socialites and their families.

The one-hour series will
look at the over-scheduled lives of a group of Manhattan women as they juggle
private schools, charity events and running businesses, as well as escaping to
their summer homes in the Hamptons.

Ricochet
Television (Super Nanny) is onboard to produce the series, with Lenid Rolov serving as executive
producer.

Bravo has already found
success in a similar series, The Real Housewives of Orange County, which focuses on an upper-class group of women and
their families in southern California.

"Manhattan Moms is a fly-on-the-wall glimpse into the privileged
lives of New York's wealthy socialites," said Frances Berwick, the
executive VP of programming and production at Bravo. "We'll watch as they
juggle calendars packed with charity fund-raising galas and the social whirl of
the Hamptons, with interviews for elite private schools and high-powered
careers."
