Bravo housewives just got a little bit spicier!
Following the postponement of the Real Housewives of NYC, Bravo announced today that the Real Housewives of Miami will be making its debut on Feb. 22 at 10/9c.
The RHMIA (Bravo also announced today that’s the hash tag they want to use for the show) was originally filmed as a different show under the title Miami Social Club. However following filming, Bravo loved what they saw, so much that they decided to make it a housewives franchise.
The cast includes (from left to right in the above photo), Alexia Echevarria – executive editor of Venue magazine, Marysol Patton – runs her own PR firm the Patton Group, Larsa Pippen – wife of former NBA star Scottie Pippen, Cristy Rice – recently divorced from NBA star Glen Rice, plus Lea Black – wife of famed attorney Roy Black and Adriana DeMoura-Sidi – a full time mom & art collector.
And despite the reports that came out a while back stating Elaine Lancaster, a Miami South Beach drag queen would be a “housewife,” Elaine did not make the final cast. A preview clip is below –
