§Conception


The Real Housewives

The Real Housewives was first announced as one of six reality television series ordered by the American television channel Bravo in May 2005. It was inspired by the scripted soap operas Desperate Housewives and Peyton Place, and would document the lives of upper-class women who "lead glamorous lives in a picturesque Southern California gated community where the average home has a $1.6 million price tag and residents include CEOs and retired professional athletes." The series was renamed The Real Housewives of Orange County in January 2006, and premiered on March 21.

In September 2007, Bravo confirmed the production of the series Manhattan Moms, which would "[follow] an eclectic group of Gotham socialites and their families." However, it was renamed The Real Housewives of New York City in January 2008, becoming the first spin-off from The Real Housewives franchise; it premiered on March 4. The third spin-off The Real Housewives of Atlanta was announced in June, and premiered on October 7. The fourth spin-off The Real Housewives of New Jersey was mentioned in May 2008 before the confirmation of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, although it premiered afterwards on May 12, 2009. The Real Housewives of D.C. was introduced as the fifth spin-off in October 2009, and premiered on August 5, 2010 and ended on October 21, 2010.
