As the new cast filled the stage, Andy announced: “I am so excited to introduce all of you to Ubah, Erin, Jessel, Brynn, Sai, and Jenna,” as reported by a U.S. Sun reporter on hand.

He continued, now speaking to the Housewives: “It is so wonderful to see you… this is a group of friends, I know you live in the West Village, Tribeca, Brooklyn, Soho, the Upper East Side, all over town.”

The Bravo series cast will now feature model and philanthropist Ubah Hassan, home renovation guru Erin Dana Lichy, fashion publicist and brand consultant Jessel Taank, brand marketing and communications professional Brynn Whitfield, creative director Sai De Silva, and former J. Crew president Jenna Lyons.

Page Six reported a seventh member, influencer Lizzy Savetsky, will also be joining the cast as well.

Back in March, during an interview with Variety, Bravo boss Andy dished on all of the changes coming to the franchise.

He expressed that after a low-rated season last year, which ended without even having a reunion, the Bravo execs have chosen to switch things up.

Andy told the outlet: “You know that we’re at a crossroads for RHONY.

“We’ve spent a lot of time figuring out where to go. And the plan that we’ve come up with, I think, is a real gift to the fans.”

The top priority for rebooting RHONY, according to him, is making sure the cast properly reflects the “diverse” city it’s set in.

The Watch What Happens Live host said: “We are searching for a multicultural group of friends who really best reflect the most exciting city in the country.

“We’re looking for a group of women who are real friends, and who are of diverse backgrounds, races, and religions.”

Andy added: “What we’re looking for is everything that makes a great Housewife: fun, opinionated, successful, aspirational women who represent a side of New York that we want to see more of.”

LOW RATINGS

The decision to reboot the show came after lower ratings than usual, as well as negative fan reactions.

“I think that if you look at any series, where the ratings are declining week to week as the series goes on, and the viewer feedback is growing disenchanted on social media, etc. — I think that was a big red flag for us,” Andy said.

While plans for the flagship series include firing the whole cast and starting anew, fans will still get to see some of their favorite RHONY stars back on the network.

SPIN-OFF

Bravo is working on a second edition – a spinoff that will feature ex-cast members that appeared on the series throughout the years.

There are currently two titles being used for internal communications regarding the spinoff, RHONY: Throwback and RHONY: Legacy.

Andy did not reveal which of the show’s former stars might appear in the new series.

He said of the spinoff: “Our loyal fans have spoken as to what they want to see and what they don’t want to see — and we’ve taken that all into account.

“And this is a series where you’re going to expect to see fan favorites from the show’s great history.”

He continued: “It’s organic, you know?

“They were in each other’s lives, and they are in each other’s lives.

“We’re looking at people who are beloved by fans.”
