Real Housewives of New York

After rising tensions and COVID-19 complications led to an abridged 13th season of the “Real Housewives of New York,” the iconic show has returned for a reboot, with an entirely new cast. These six women have accomplished much more than the show’s reputation may initially lead viewers to believe, with each entertaining cast member an entrepreneur in their own way.

From Erin Lichy’s real-estate renovations to Ubah Hassan’s journey to grow her hot sauce brand, this season gives viewers an inside look at New York’s upper-class entrepreneurs and the struggles they’ve overcome to achieve this status. Jenna Lyons, the iconic fashion designer known for her previous role as lead designer at J. Crew (and her enormous closet), provides a welcome addition to the cast, and mediates many tense conflicts throughout the season. Jessel Taank, the show’s first Indian housewife and successful fashion publicist, is always an entertaining presence, and her unexpected anecdotes will have audiences continuously surprised. 

From new hobbies to relationship conflicts, audiences get a real look into each housewife’s life, and personal journeys in this series. Brynn Whitfield, business consultant and avid chess player, keeps fiery conversations alive throughout the season and never fails to make a lasting impression.

In the comedic setting filled with drama and alcohol-induced outbursts, audiences may find unexpected self-disclosures comforting as the girls bond with one another through difficult situations. Sai De Silva, a cast member known for her fashion influence and work with brands, opened up about her familial struggles during the “Real Housewives” reunion, and the entire cast rallied around her in support. With beach trips, business meetings and boisterous gatherings, the “Real Housewives of New York” contains entertaining content for many different audiences, and may leave viewers with an unexpected new outlook on life.
