For some time, rumors have been swirling about a potential iteration of the “Real Housewives” filming in Rhode Island. And, it turns out it wasn’t gossip after all.

In its press release, NBC Universal also announced the new “Real Housewives of Rhode Island.” Based on the program description, the series will follow a “tight-knit circle of Rhode Islanders who have deep community roots and families that go back generations.”

“With aspirational lives, thriving businesses and tangled family dynamics, these decade-long friendships prove that in a state this small, there’s no escaping your past … or each other,” it continued.

The series will be produced by Evolution Media, with Andy Cohen serving as an executive producer.

The upcoming iteration of the “Housewives” franchise isn’t the only thing the Bravosphere has to look forward to, though.

Additional series, including a reimagined version of the previously canceled “Ladies of London,” will also share the spotlight.

According to the statement, the upcoming series will feature “British blue bloods, ambitious American expats, and glamorous international socialites.”

It continued, “As tradition clashes with the fast-paced globalized world, these power players redefine what it means to be a woman of status in one of the most iconic cities in the world. Here connections are currency and the crown isn’t the only thing up for grabs.”
