Fans of The Real Housewives of New York City (RHONY) are calling for the show to be canceled following their disappointment with recent episodes. The long-running series, currently in its 15th season, has seen a significant decline in viewership and fan engagement, with many viewers expressing frustration online. However, has Bravo officially decided to end RHONY after 15 years on air?
Here’s everything we know about why fans are upset and whether Bravo plans to pull the plug on the series.
Has Bravo canceled RHONY?
No, Bravo has not canceled The Real Housewives of New York City.
Rumors of cancellation have gained traction, but Bravo has not confirmed or announced the show’s end. Executives have made no statements on the matter. However, many fans believe the series has run its course.
Why do fans want Real Housewives of New York City to get canceled?
The show has faced a steady decline in ratings and fan enthusiasm, particularly since Season 13 in 2022. Many fans have criticized the new cast and storylines, calling them unrelatable and unengaging. The most recent controversy involved a prank storyline about cast member Rebecca Minkoff, teased in trailers as a dramatic pregnancy scandal.
This storyline implied that Minkoff cheated on her husband, only for it to be revealed as a joke later in the season. Fans found the prank distasteful and insensitive, with some labeling it “the worst storyline ever seen on Housewives.” The backlash, coupled with the show’s plummeting ratings, has fueled calls for its cancellation.
Recent episodes have hit a historic low of just 281,000 same-day viewers (via The Sun). This marks a significant drop from the series’ peak of over two million viewers per week during earlier seasons. Despite Bravo’s attempt to rejuvenate the show with a rebooted cast, many fans believe it has lost its charm and authenticity. These issues have led to growing calls for the network to end the series.
