‘Real Housewives of New York City’ Reboot Premiere Date Unveiled

Bravo is set to roll out the newest season of The Real Housewives of New York City this summer, after pressing pause and revamping the show.

Viewers will be able to see the new RHONY cast when the hit reality show returns on July 16, the cable network said Monday in a press release.

Bravo also shared the announcement on its Instagram and Twitter pages in a teaser with a woman taking a bite out of an apple.

As previously reported, season 14 will include a completely new cast of women including Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Lizzy Savetsky, Jessel Taank, and Brynn Whitfield.

The new housewives replaced the season 13 stars after fans expressed outrage over conflicts involving race and religion.

A production source told Page Six former cast member Ramona Singer allegedly said, “This is why we shouldn’t have Black people on the show,” in reference to the franchise’s first Black star, Eboni K. Williams.

Singer has denied making the comment.

RHONY fans are split on the decision to bring in a new cast.

Twitter user @StargazerC38 wrote, “I’m trying not to be excited over this. I feel like Bravo screwed the pooch with season 13, and instead of rebooting the show, should have just retooled the cast. […] I don’t have high hopes for this.”

Fan podcaster @MarTEAnisEddy wrote on Twitter, “People complaining about the cast.. get over it! I’m excited for this new group of ladies who represent the NEW New York.”

RHONY returns July 16 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
