Bravo’s upfront announcement today included the return of Tabatha Coffey, the competition show contestant-turned-star of her own series, and also the renewal of 11 shows that are all the same show.
It’s been almost three years since Tabatha Takes Over, formerly Tabatha’s Salon Takeover, disappeared from Bravo, along with most other non-Housewives shows. She’s back in Relative Success with Tabatha Coffey, which Bravo says “uses her unique brand of no-nonsense tough love to help these families at a major crossroads.”
That was one of six new shows announced, three of which sound like more of The Real Housewives model, even if they don’t have “Housewives” in the title.
Bravo also today announced the return of 13 series, 11 of which are the same show. Here’s the breakdown:
Renewed Non-Housewives shows:
- Top Chef (previously renewed)
Renewed shows that are oh-so-close to being a Housewives show:
- Flipping Out
- Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles
Renewed Housewives-style shows, i.e. all the same show:
- The Real Housewives of New Jersey (previously renewed)
- The Real Housewives of Potomac (previously renewed)
- The Real Housewives of Orange County
- The Real Housewives of Atlanta
- The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
- Manzo’d with Children
- Don’t Be Tardy
- Married to Medicine Atlanta
- Below Deck
- Ladies of London
- Vanderpump Rules
New shows, which may turn out to be more Housewives shows, especially the last three:
- Relative Success with Tabatha Coffey (working title): “In each self-contained episode, a family will call upon Tabatha to help them sort out a dramatic, high stakes moment when their fortune and relationships are on the line”
- Yours, Mine or Ours: “couples looking to make the leap into cohabitation enlist the help of boisterous real estate agent Reza Farahan (Shahs of Sunset) and interior designer and decorator Taylor Spellman to figure out which residence they should call home.
- Then & Now with Andy Cohen: “examines the best of Gen X and Baby Boomer nostalgia and spices it up with a millennial twist”
- Summer House: “this group of friends has spent their weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day in one of the most exclusive beach areas on the East Coast … as soon as they hit the beach on the weekend, they let loose in a big, aspirational way that is exclusive to this high-end lifestyle”
- Oklahoma City: this group of hilarious friends is changing the way the winds come sweeping down the plains
- The Lodge: “follows the hard working lodge staff, whose demanding jobs require catering to the every whim of their vacationing rich clientele”
