OG ‘Real Housewives Of New York’ Set For New Reality Show On E!

The “Real Housewives of New York” are back, sort of. It has been announced that a crop of OG “RHONY” stars have officially landed their own upcoming reality series, but don’t expect to see it on Bravo.

The five ladies, confirmed to be LuAnn de Lesseps, Sonia Morgan, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon, and Jill Zarin, will be headed to the E! network for a brand-new series chronicling their lives.

E! isn’t the only change for the ladies, as they will also be in a new city, ditching the urban oasis of New York for the more laidback vibe of Palm Beach, Florida, according to PEOPLE.

Currently operating under the working title “The Golden Life,” the 10-episode docuseries is described as “sun-soaked with a sliver of shade,” according to the official press release shared with the outlet.

“Bound by decades of shared history, fallouts and friendship, this fan-favorite group of New Yorkers are starting fresh together in the Sunshine State. In this new ‘golden’ era of life, the longtime friends are thriving in and around Palm Beach with fabulous second homes and a bustling social scene,” the series’ description said.

“With their signature humor and non-stop hijinks, the series will follow the group as they navigate dating, family, and career milestones. Though skies are bright in Florida, unresolved drama looms as they reconnect after years of highs and lows,” the statement press release continued.

To celebrate the news, the cast posted a video to Instagram of themselves sharing the announcement with their fans. De Lesseps, Morgan, Singer, Bensimon, and Zarin were all spliced together confirming their return, or in the words of de Lesseps, “We’re back darlings!”

The series is set to begin filming this spring and is reported to air before the end of the year.

In May 2025, Page Six exclusively shared the news that after two seasons, the rebooted “RHONY” had been put on pause indefinitely due to low ratings.

It was announced in 2021, that the OG cast of “RHONY” would not return to the series and an entirely new, and much younger, cast would replace them, which eventually occurred in 2023. Additionally, it was intended at the time for the resident “RHONY” cast to move to “RHONY Legacy,” but that series never came to fruition.

Fans never embraced the new cast and ratings were less than stellar from the start and only continued to get worse. This prompted Bravo to pause the show in order to find a new cast.

While speaking at BravoCon in November 2025, Bravo boss Andy Cohen gave fans an update about where things stand with the reality series.

Per Reality Blurb, when asked about the status of the show and if a new cast had been secured, Cohen simply replied, “We’re close.” However, the “Watch What Happens Live!” host stopped short of confirming a return date or timeframe.

Despite their tenure as “Real Housewives of New York” ending, certain ladies from the legacy cast have continued to appear together via other shows.

De Lesseps, Morgan, Zarin, Bensimon, and Singer have all appeared on the Peacock spinoff, “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip,” which premiered back in 2021. De Lesseps and Morgan also landed their own show “LuAnn & Sonia: Welcome to Crappie Lake” in 2023, also on Peacock.

In summer 2025, de Lesseps once again joined a “Housewives” spinoff, when she was announced as part of the cast of “Bravo’s Love Hotel,” which featured fellow “Housewives” Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, and Shannon Beador.

She joins Bryant, Porsha Williams, Lisa Barlow, Teresa Guidice, and Kyle Richards, as they travel cross-country for girls’ trip fun with dozens of other “Housewives” from the past and present.
