Bravo has officially kicked off the promotional campaign for its newest expansion of The Real Housewives franchise with the release of a full trailer and a pair of key premiere dates for The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.
The much-anticipated series will debut on Thursday, April 2, at 9 p.m., before settling into its regular Sunday night 9 p.m. slot beginning April 5 on Bravo and streaming on Peacock.
“Welcome to the Ocean State. It may be America’s smallest, but don’t be fooled — the drama is wicked wild,” the trailer teases.
The trailer gives audiences their first extended look at the cast’s personal and social dynamics, including heated confrontations, relationship tensions and glimpses of opulent settings across the Ocean State. It also showcases lavish retreats to iconic Rhode Island locales, including Newport Gilded-Age mansion Seaview Terrace and scenic Block Island.
The inaugural season of what will surely be known as RHORI follows seven women:
- Alicia Carmody
- Rosie DiMare
- Ashley Iaconetti
- Liz McGraw
- Rulla Nehme Pontarelli
- Kelsey Swanson
- Jo-Ellen Tiberi
Joining them as a friend of the Housewives is Dolores Catania, a familiar face from The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
As for what’s in store? It appears affairs, money trouble, family feuds, sobbing on boats, aggressive lip filler, orange tans, and nails sharp enough to end a friendship.
