Bravo is flipping the script on Real Housewives Of New York City, with executive producer Andy Cohen announcing a brand-new reboot as well as a second series following fan-favorites.

The networkโ€™s bold decision to break up their concepts into two shows โ€œtakes into account everything that our passionate audience has really been telling us over the last year,โ€ Cohen told Variety in a new interview published on March 23. โ€œWeโ€™ve spent a lot of time figuring out where to go. And the plan that weโ€™ve come up with, I think, is a real gift to the fans.โ€

As for the reboot, Cohen said they have big things in store and plan to cast their net far and wide while looking for new personalities to captivate viewers.

โ€œThis 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,โ€ he said. โ€œWeโ€™re looking for a group of women who are real friends, and who are of diverse backgrounds, races and religions.โ€

The longtime host revealed that executives havenโ€™t decided on a name for their series following some of the original castmates, although RHONY: Throwback or RHONY: Legacy were mentioned as being what they are referring to it so far.

โ€œWeโ€™re looking at people who are beloved by fans,โ€ he added, begging the question if Ramona Singer would be returning following season 13 drama.

Cohen and a Bravo spokesperson said official casting hasnโ€™t begun, but Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan and newcomer Eboni K. Williams are among those being considered.

โ€œSonja and Luann have been a part of the show โ€” for Luann, from the beginning, and Sonja since Season 3. So I think, in theory, sure!โ€ Cohen teased of their possible comeback.

RHONY first premiered in March 2008 with its latest season ending without a reunion in August 2021. During the showโ€™s hiatus, Ramona and Luann starred in a Peacock spinoff series The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.

โ€œWe are interviewing multiple groups of friends,โ€ Cohen said while remaining mysterious about the reboot in talks to potentially air on Peacock, hinting that Eboni may be a perfect fit. โ€œSo, certainly if Eboni is interested and has friends that would meet our casting goals, then of course they would be considered.โ€
