The Real Housewives is an American media franchise that consists of several reality television series broadcast on Bravo. The shows document the lives of several affluent housewives residing in varying regions throughout the United States. The first version, The Real Housewives of Orange County, premiered on March 21, 2006; its success resulted in spin-off series located in New York City and Atlanta in 2008; New Jersey in 2009; Washington, D.C. and Beverly Hills in 2010; Miami in 2011; Potomac and Dallas in 2016. The subsequent installments have proven similarly successful, and have resulted in numerous spin-off series of their own.

International versions are also broadcast by several television channels worldwide, including The Real Housewives of Athens that premiered in 2011; The Real Housewives of Vancouver in 2012; The Real Housewives of Melbourne in 2014; The Real Housewives of Cheshire in 2015; The Real Housewives of Auckland in 2016; and The Real Housewives of Sydney in 2017.

"From Peyton Place to Desperate Housewives, viewers have been riveted by the fictionalized versions of such lifestyles on television. Now, here is a series that depicts real-life 'desperate' housewives with an authentic look at their compelling day-to-day drama."

—A press release by Bravo, describing the concept of The Real Housewives of Orange County.[1]

The Real Housewives was first announced as one of six reality television series ordered by the American television channel Bravo in May 2005.[2] 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."[1] The series was renamed The Real Housewives of Orange County in January 2006, and premiered on March 21.[1]

In September 2007, Bravo confirmed the production of the series Manhattan Moms, which would "[follow] an eclectic group of Gotham socialites and their families."[3] 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.[4] The third spin-off The Real Housewives of Atlanta was announced in June,[5] and premiered on October 7.[6] The fourth spin-off The Real Housewives of New Jersey was mentioned in May 2008 before the confirmation of The Real Housewives of Atlanta,[7] although it premiered afterwards on May 12, 2009.[8] The Real Housewives of D.C. was introduced as the fifth spin-off in October 2009,[9] and premiered on August 5, 2010 and ended on October 21, 2010.[10]
