Bravo is busting a big rumor in the Big Apple.
After reports questioning the future of The Real Housewives of New York City began to surface online, with Page Six reporting that there were no “firm plans” for the franchise to continue, the network chose to set the record straight.
“Nothing is official,” a Bravo spokesperson told Us Weekly on Friday, May 9. “The show hasn’t been canceled.”
Bravo’s reaction comes days after Bravo announced its upcoming slate of programming on Wednesday, May 7, with a mix of returning shows and new additions.
While several Housewives franchises were picked up for another season, including The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Real Housewives of Orange County, The Real Housewives of Potomac and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, The Real Housewives of New York City was noticeably missing.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey was also missing from the renewal list, but fans are aware the show has been on pause since season 14 wrapped in August 2024.
Earlier this week, several cast members from The Real Housewives of New York City reunited for a friendly dinner.
After the group — consisting of Sai de Silva, Jenna Lyons, Erin Lichy, Ubah Hassan, Racquel Chevremont and Jessel Taank — posed for a photo, one cast member reflected on the group’s bond. (It’s unclear if fellow costar Brynn Whitfield was invited to the dinner.)
“Over the past three years, I’ve learned how to navigate and nurture the unique dynamics of our #RHONY friendship group,” Sai, 44, wrote via her Instagram Story on Wednesday. “We’re more than just castmates — we’re real-life friends who have bonded through an experience that only we truly understand. I’m eternally grateful to ride this wild journey with these incredible women.”
After one fan questioned Sai if the show was canceled, she replied.
“I’m also confused by everyone being confused,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Wednesday. “I was just expressing my gratitude for my castmates who have become close friends. Nothing is canceled. I’m not leaving the show and nothing is wrong. It was purely me showing appreciation for a great group of women. It was a positive post.”
In March, Us Weekly caught up with Raquel, 53, and asked about any plans for season 16. At the time, she had no news to report.
“Everybody’s asking, but I have no clue,” she said at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. “We just wait and see. I’ll find out probably around the same time you do. I would love to be filming with all the ladies.”
