The Real Housewives of Atlanta will anchor Bravo’s new Sunday night, with original episodes airing at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Watch What Happens: Live will follow at 11 p.m.
“With Bravo’s rapid ratings growth and continued momentum in original programming and new initiatives, we’re expanding to Sunday nights where fans can continue to connect and engage with our brand across all platforms,” said Bravo Media President Frances Berwick in a statement. “The buzz-worthy sensation surrounding The Real Housewives of Atlanta, with its ravenous fanbase, is the ideal launch for this new night of original programming.”
The new episode of Atlanta that will air on Nov. 7 will feature NeNe introducing her son Bryson to Peter, Cynthia’s boyfriend, in hopes that he’ll find inspiration to start his own career path.
Lovely. Trashy television for trashy viewers, now six nights a week!
But they can get away with showing the trashy programming and trainwreack drama on cable that the broadcast networks can’t. Atlanta and New York’s Real Housewives shows are good because they settle their conflicts and arguments at the end, but New Jersey and Orange County’s shows are too full of fights, trainwrecks and one upmanship!
Bravo needs to stem the growth of the RH franchise. Adding DC and Beverly Hills back to back is a little much and with 6 versions it’s reached it’s capacity.
Branching out Watch What Happens Live! is a good route to follow since other late night chatfests happy 5 nights a week it’s a natural fit to expand the show beyond the once a week/half hour current format.
Also looking towards other current shows like Top Chef and branching them out has been wise but Top Chef Masters leaves me cold and they still haven’t yet made Shear Genius a winning addition.
Perhaps a stylist competition with Rachel Zoe anchoring it would work or bringing back Project Greenlight or something more highbrow?
agreed ,love the orginal TOP CHIEF,TC JUST DESSERTS is ok.MASTERS is just plain borring,theres no drama the chiefs love and respect each other.also bring back CHEIF ACADAMY.
I thought Bravo was the cable network for the arts!!!! Boy they have hit a real low these days!
I miss the old Bravo – the one that had something other than reality shows.
Amazing people get caught up in these staged “reality” shows. These people lives are not that darn interesting every single day. TV today is just complete garbage.
At least some channels recognize quality. Bravo for Bravo, more of this less of Chuck, Castle, BBT etc.
I still don’t get why people who hate something continue to read about it or comment on it. Don’t like it, don’t read or watch. It’s really that simple. I say good for Bravo and its growth. Keep it up
You people suck so hard.
