So You Want to Dive into the Apple (and the Wine): How Many Seasons of RHONY Are There?
Let's face it, everybody needs a little escape sometimes. And what better escape than watching a bunch of fabulous (and slightly terrifying) women navigate the cutthroat world of Manhattan? Enter The Real Housewives of New York City (RHONY), a reality show that's served up more drama than a Shakespearean play and more spills than a frat party.
But before you get comfy on the couch with a glass of Pinot Grigio (Sonja Morgan would approve), you might be wondering: just how deep does this rabbit hole go? Buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to break down the glorious number of seasons RHONY has blessed us with.
It's More Than Just a Weekend in the Hamptons: A Season-by-Season Breakdown (Kind Of)
Look, with 14 seasons under its sequined belt, a detailed breakdown would be, well, a bit much. But fear not, reality TV enthusiast! Here's the lowdown on the general vibe of each era:
- Seasons 1-4: Meet the OG crew: Bethenny with her sharp wit, Ramona with her ever-changing hairstyle, Luann with her cabaret dreams, and the rest of the gang. Prepare for iconic moments like "whooping it up" and "goodnight, Countess!"
- Seasons 5-11: New faces, same drama. We get introduced to the likes of Dorinda Medley, known for her dry humor and love of entertaining, and Sonja Morgan, a walking (and talking) fashion show with a mysterious past.
- Seasons 12-13: Things get a little...shaky. Cast changes, legal battles, and a global pandemic throw the show into a bit of a tizzy. But hey, there's still plenty of wine-throwing and shade-throwing to keep you entertained.
- Season 14 (and Beyond?): A reboot with a brand new cast is currently in the works! Get ready for a fresh batch of Big Apple drama (and hopefully some new taglines).
Important Note: There's also a spin-off called "RHONY Legacy" featuring some of the veterans of the show. It's basically a reunion in paradise, with all the messiness you'd expect.
