Real Housewives Franchise Heads to D.C.

NEW YORK: Bravo has another spin-off in the works for its hit docuseries franchise The Real Housewives, this time set in the metropolitan region of Washington, D.C.

Bravo is currently scouting the D.C. area for city residents who have their finger on the pulse of important cultural events, political galas, gallery openings and fundraisers. The series will follow D.C.’s women-in-the-know as they discuss everything from the economy to high fashion. Half Yard Productions has been tapped to develop this project.

This Bravo’s latest spin-off for The Real Housewives, which started with the original Orange County iteration and has seen further extensions in New York, Atlanta and, most recently, New Jersey.

"We’re tapping personalities who are among Washington D.C.’s influential players, cultural connoisseurs, fashion sophisticates and philanthropic leaders—the people who rub elbows with the most prominent people in the country and easily move in the city’s diverse political and social circles," said Frances Berwick, the executive VP and general manager of Bravo Media.
