The NBC-owned cable network has given a series order to The Real Housewives of DC and ordered a second-season of last year’s ratings hit The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Both are set to premiere next year.
The cast of The Real Housewives of DC has been revealed.
According to Washington social butterfly Carol Joynt, the newest addition to Bravo’s wildly-popular reality franchise features a cast of five of the capital city’s most enterprising socialites.

Jimmy Fallon is dying to become one of Bravo’s outspoken Real Housewives. (Or should we say Real Broke & Foreclosed Wives?) In homage to the reality franchise about affluent women and the drama-filled lives, the Late Night host is spoofing the hit series with his own version short films, titled The Real Housewives of Late Night.
Hilarity ensues when Jimmy puts on a long brunette wig and channels the character Denise, an over-the-top Jersey Girl.
On Tuesday, Bravo announced that the latest spinoff of its hit unscripted docu-drama The Real Housewives is currently in development. This time, the network is looking for well-to-doers from none other than Washington, D.C. The cable channel says it is scouring the Nation’s Capitol in search of women “who have their pulse on the most important cultural events, political galas, gallery openings and fundraisers in Washington society.”
“We’re tapping personalities who are among Washington D.C.’s influential players, cultural connoisseurs, fashion sophisticates and philanthropic leaders — the people who rub elbows with the most prominent people in the country and easily move in the city’s diverse political and social circles,” said Frances Berwick, executive vice president and general manager of Bravo Media.
Casting is currently underway.
The new series will be the channel’s fifth instalment of the hit show, joining the other locations of Atlanta, Orange County, New York, and New Jersey.
