Andy Cohen Reacts To ‘Real Housewives Of Latest York’ Spin-Off

During a recent episode of his radio show, “Radio Andy,” the manager producer commented on the news that among the franchise’s heavy hitters—including Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan—are jumping to the E! Network for a brand new series centered on their lives.

The news that a few of Bravo’s marquee players are starring in a brand new production on a special network comes years after Andy Cohen revealed that Bravo was relaunching “Real Housewives of Latest York” with an all-new solid after 13 years.

In keeping with a press release from E!, Singer, Morgan, Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, and Luann de Lesseps are reuniting for a brand new series tentatively titled “The Golden Life.”

“Certain by a long time of shared history, fallouts and friendship, this fan-favorite group of Latest Yorkers are starting fresh together within the Sunshine State,” the show’s synopsis teased. “On this latest ‘golden’ era of life, the longtime friends are thriving in and around Palm Beach with fabulous second homes and a bustling social scene. With their signature humor and non-stop hijinks, the series will follow the group as they navigate dating, family, and profession milestones.”

Nonetheless, the journey won’t be entirely seamless, because the synopsis also teased “unresolved drama” may reemerge after years away from the highlight.

So, what did Cohen must say concerning the news? “You recognize what? I’m so excited for them,” he declared.

Cohen revealed that he reached out to the women after learning of the move, adding that he believes it is going to be “an amazing show” and that he could “never root against” them because he loves seeing them together.

Cohen also explained how the show got here to be, stating that lots of the women “all live in Florida,” except de Lesseps and Bensimon. He then reminded his listeners that they may watch the women get together on a recent season of “Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip” on Peacock.

The “RHONY” legacy version of “Ultimate Girls Trip” originally aired on Bravo in 2023 and featured the aforementioned solid members, together with Dorinda Medley and Kristen Taekman. It premiered two years after season 13 (the last time the women were a part of the network’s flagship show).

Speaking of the legacy trip to Saint Barthélemy, Cohen described it as “a series finale in a weird way.”

“They type of wrapped all of it up, but now they’re embarking on — their latest lives, and yeah. So, I wish them well, and I’m comfortable for the fans who desired to see this,” Cohen said.

“We’re thrilled to welcome reality TV royalty to E! for a reunion fans have been waiting for,” Val Boreland, President of Entertainment, VERSANT, said in an announcement. “The energy inside this group has at all times been electric and we’re excited to look at it unfold in a brand new chapter of life by the beach.”

The OG women of “RHONY” are reuniting after the series was rebooted and completely recast by Bravo in 2022. Cohen announced the daring decision to rebuild in a previous interview, in keeping with the Each day Dish, explaining that producers felt they were “at a crossroads for [the show].”

Cohen also revealed that recasting the series would allow the network to inform different stories from a more diverse group of girls.

“There are millions of stories to inform here. That is probably the most multicultural, diverse, and energetic and exciting city in America: We’re trying to find a multicultural group of friends who really best reflect probably the most exciting city within the country. We’re searching for a gaggle of girls who’re real friends, and who’re of diverse backgrounds, races and religions,” he said.

Season 14 of the series aired in July 2023 and consisted of Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank, and Brynn Whitfield.

Beyond the antics of the Big Apple alumni, fans will see several iconic faces later in 2026 when Bravo airs “Roaring twentieth,” a special celebrating the franchise’s twentieth anniversary.

In keeping with The Blast, the limited series will feature many big names, including Porsha Williams, Kyle Richards, Vicki Gunvalson, Lisa Barlow, Teresa Giudice, and NeNe Leakes.
