View StoryReal Housewives Ultimate Road Trip
If the Ultimate Girls Trip weren't wild enough, Andy Cohen announced they're taking the show on the road to help celebrate the Real Housewives 20th anniversary.
Launching in 2026, The Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip is described by Bravo as "a love letter to the women who turned a reality television show into a cultural phenomenon -- and the fans who’ve been there for every laugh, gasp, toast, and table turn."
Without revealing the cast quite yet, fans were promised the new series would feature a group of Housewives from across two decades of drama representing multiple franchises. As for the road trip itself, the ladies are traveling from Orange County, where it all began, naturally, and while wind up on the East Coast when all is said and done.
Along the way, they'll meet up with other franchise favorites from different cities to "pay tribute to the past, embrace the present and look toward the many miles still ahead." Producers promise reunions, revelations, humor and "the larger-than-life dynamics that only Housewives can deliver."
Real Housewives of Rhode Island
As part of its 20th anniversary celebration, the Housewives franchise is heading to a brand new location, with Andy Cohen announcing The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, introducing a brand new cast of colorful ladies ready to dazzle and surprise -- plus one familiar face from another franchise
Dolores Catania (RHONJ) has officially joined the cast of RHORI as a friend. She'll be mingling with Bachelor Nation's Ashley Iaconetti, former Miss Rhode Island Kelsey Swanson, Alicia Carmody, Rosie DiMarie, Liz McGraw, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, and Jo-Ellen Tiberi.
"It’s interesting that it’s one of the smallest states and it kind of feels like this insular community where everybody knows each other [and] you can’t get away with anything," Cohen told Deadline. "It is the perfect spot for a Housewives. Plus it’s also so beautiful, it’s aspirational. It’s the Ocean state -- it’s teeny. And the women are outrageously fun and great for TV."
As part of his "Ask Andy" panel on Sunday, Cohen also offered a sneak peek at the new drama.
Summer House Spinoff In the City
Summer House is coming to the Big Apple! Bravo announced that a spinoff of the popular series, which currently has the working title In the City, is coming soon. The show is set to feature Summer House stars Amanda Batula, Kyle Cook, and Lindsay Hubbard.
The spinoff will follow the trio as they navigate relationships and parenthood in New York City, with the official logline reading, "In the city that never sleeps, a group of New Yorkers navigates the biggest transitions of their lives -- marriage, parenthood, reinvention, and the reality of growing up without growing apart. Can they have it all, or will they need to choose between the lives they’ve built and the futures they never saw coming?"
The first season has wrapped filming, according to Variety, but the premiere date -- and the names of the other cast members -- will be released at a later time.

On Friday, Wendy first thanked her fans for their "love and support," calling the situation "unfortunate."
"Right now, I can't say too much, but I will say, when the time is right, I will share my story with everyone," she said. "And for now, they're just allegations, and we will continue to push forward."
