Start spreading the news! Bravo’s new cast of The Real Housewives of New York City is officially here and ready to prove to diehard fans of the last 13 seasons that they’re the ones to watch. The diverse group of fashionable and business-minded women is prepared to reach new heights in the city they’ve lived and hustled in years before they booked the popular show.
The cast includes several NYC natives, plus a few more transplants. Despite only a few of them growing up in New York, each RHONY cast member has the grit that only those who’ve lived in the city possess after a while. However, the women also have their own borough — or neighborhood of NYC — in the city that never sleeps.
