This season marks the first time in the history of the Real Housewives franchise that a series has been entirely rebooted, as all of the women from the thirteenth season of the show were replaced with new cast members.

Cast

On October 16, 2022, executive producer Andy Cohen revealed the reboot's cast by announcing that Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Lizzy Savetsky, Jessel Taank and Brynn Whitfield would be starring in the show's fourteenth season.[2] One month later, Bravo announced Savetsky had departed the series midway into filming the season after receiving anti-Semitic hate on social media.[3] Subsequently, Savetsky was edited out of the show entirely and did not appear in any of the season's episodes.

Bravo promoted the fourteenth season by highlighting the career accomplishments and diversity of the cast. De Silva is a creative director and content creator, Hassan is a model, philanthropist, and owner of a hot sauce company, Lichy is a real estate agent and owner of a home renovation and design firm, Lyons is the former president and creative director of J.Crew and the co-founder and CEO of LoveSeen, Taank is a fashion publicist and brand consultant, and Whitfield is a brand marketing professional. De Silva is Afro-Latina, Hassan is Somali, Lichy is Israeli, Lyons is a lesbian, Taank is Indian, and Whitfield is biracial.[4][5]

Production

Development

After a low-rated[6] and poorly received[7] thirteenth season of the series that sparked significant backlash due to controversial and offensive remarks made by former Housewives Ramona Singer[8][9][10] and Luann de Lesseps[11] that many viewers perceived as being bigoted and racist, along with multiple human resources investigations into other racist comments allegedly made by Singer off camera,[12] Bravo canceled the thirteenth season's reunion special in September 2021.[13] Eboni K. Williams, the series' first Black cast member,[14] later claimed that following the controversies her former co-stars Singer, de Lesseps, and Leah McSweeney told the network they would refuse to work with her if she returned to the show for another season.[15]

In March 2022, Cohen announced that the network had decided to reboot and recast the show entirely from scratch and that none of the women that starred in the show's thirteenth season would be returning to the series. He stated that diversifying the show was one of the network's top priorities and said, "There are thousands of stories to tell here. This is the most multicultural, diverse, and energetic and exciting city in America: We are searching for a multicultural group of friends who really best reflect the most exciting city in the country. We're looking for a group of women who are real friends, and who are of diverse backgrounds, races and religions."[16] The show had been widely criticized for having an entirely white cast prior to the hiring of Williams in the show's thirteenth season.[17]

Filming

Filming for the fourteenth season began in fall 2022 and concluded in early 2023.[18] In May 2023, the network released a trailer and announced the season would premiere on July 16 of the same year.[1] Bravo dubbed the reboot a "new era" for the series,[19] and said that it would "follow an all-new group of six dynamic women who run in the same social circles, thriving in one of the most diverse and electric cities in the world."[4] Cohen praised the reboot and its cast by saying the season turned out great and the women are aspirational, funny, fashionable and enjoyable to watch.[20] He acknowledged that the reboot is "different" than the original series but said he feels it's perfect in its own way.[21]

Hassan said filming the show was a very positive experience and that she was grateful for the close friendships and sisterhood that formed between her and her cast members. Whitfield expressed the importance of being herself and having fun while filming and revealed she was honest about her difficult upbringing as a child.[22] Lyons and Taank both commented on the power of representation, with Lyons stating that she wanted to join the show in order to inform others about her experiences as a lesbian woman and represent the LGBTQ community in a positive light, which she was motivated to do in response to the absence of lesbian representation she saw in the media while growing up.[23][24] Taank shared similar sentiments about the lack of Indian representation in media and said it was an honor to be the series' first Indian Housewife and share her culture with the audience.[25] Sai De Silva stated that the cast was interested in creating their own legacy and doing things differently than they were done in the previous iteration of the show.[23]

Shed Media produces the series for Bravo. The fourteenth season is executive produced by Lisa Shannon, Lauren Volonakis, Barrie Bernstein, Anne Swan and Cohen. Rajah Ahmed, Kate Murphy, Alfonso Rosales and Kimmy Cucci are co-executive producers.[4]
