In a recent broadcast, Andy Cohen, the creator of the Real Housewives franchise, expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming reality series, The Golden Life. The show will feature notable cast members from The Real Housewives of New York City and is expected to begin production this spring in Palm Beach, Florida.
During his segment on SiriusXM, Cohen shared his excitement, stating, “I texted the ladies yesterday. I think it’s gonna be a great show. I could never root against these women. I absolutely love them. I love them together.” His sentiments resonate with many fans who have followed the journeys of these women over the years.
Understanding the transition from Bravo to E!
The landscape of reality television is undergoing a notable transformation following Comcast‘s decision to spin off E! into its new identity, Versant. This shift means that former cast members of Real Housewives of New York City (RHONY) will now appear on a competing network, marking a significant transition for these well-known personalities.
The ensemble cast of The Golden Life features prominent figures such as Luann de Lesseps, Jill Zarin, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon, and Sonja Morgan. Each of these women has a substantial history with the franchise, having participated in multiple seasons of RHONY. Their reunion comes in the wake of Bravo’s decision to reboot the franchise, creating a new chapter for these stars.
What to expect from The Golden Life
The upcoming docuseries, titled *The Golden Life*, features a group of women reuniting in Florida as they navigate the complexities of their lives. According to the show’s synopsis, viewers can expect a blend of humor and drama as the cast reconnects after years marked by personal challenges and triumphs. The series aims to showcase their luxurious lifestyles, complete with opulent homes and an active social calendar.
As the women delve into themes of dating, family dynamics, and new career opportunities, the synopsis points out that despite the sunny backdrop, unresolved tensions from their past may resurface. This aspect adds depth to their friendships, suggesting that the journey will be as much about personal growth as it is about the glamorous lifestyle they lead.
Continuing relationships and new projects
Over the years, Bravo has maintained connections with several stars from the *Real Housewives of New York City* (RHONY). For instance, Luann de Lesseps and Sonja Morgan starred in their own series, Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake, which aired in.

This ongoing engagement with the franchise underscores the enduring appeal of these stars and their ability to entertain.
Challenges for some cast members
However, not all cast members have experienced a seamless transition within the Bravo ecosystem. Ramona Singer has encountered difficulties following her distancing from the network due to a controversy involving a racial slur. Her absence from BravoCon, occurring just days before the event, highlights the complexities surrounding her public persona.
