After weeks of worried murmurs in the Bravosphere about the status of “The Real Housewives Miami,” a source confirms to Variety that Bravo has indeed hit pause on the show, which concluded its seventh season in October. The show, though beloved among devoted Bravo fans, is the least-watched entry among the network’s “Real Housewives” series.
It’s not the first time “RHOM” has undergone a reset. In October 2021, Bravo announced that “The Real Housewives of Miami” would be returning to television as a Peacock original, more than eight years after its third season concluded in 2013. After Season 3 on Bravo, “RHOM” was shelved, but it was never canceled, and the show returned with a mixture of original cast members — Larsa Pippen, Alexia Echevarria, Lisa Hochstein, Adriana de Moura and Marysol Patton — and new ones.
Seasons 6 and 7 then ran on Bravo, but despite the quality of the show, it’s never been among the highest-rated of Bravo’s “Real Housewives” offerings. Season 7 wasn’t its strongest installment, and before Bravo paused the show, several cast members were thought to be on the chopping block after having had difficult seasons. Nevertheless, even Season 7 bestowed viewers with many gifts, such as de Moura accusing her former BFF (and possible lover?) Julia Lemigova of having an affair with “a Haitian mortician” during one of the reunion episodes. Immediately iconic.
“The Real Housewives of Miami” has featured a mostly Latina cast, as well as Bravo’s first out, full-time LGBTQ cast member in Lemigova, who is married to tennis superstar Martina Navratilova.
The show is produced by Purveyors of Pop. Matt Anderson, Nate Green, Cooper Green, Maty Buss, Bill Fritz, James Brangert and Andy Cohen executive produce.
