It’s not always guaranteed that a Real Housewives season is going to hit off the bat, but The Real Housewives of Rhode Island has been slaying since the very first episode premiered back in April. The drama and romantic storylines are top-tier Bravo television, and 20 years into the franchise, that’s saying something!
Bravo made major announcements about the future of its programming slate at the NBC Upfronts on May 11, and although Season 1 of RHORI is still playing out, there was an update about the show during the event.
