Bravo has renewed “The Real Housewives of Potomac” for season two, the cable net announced on Thursday.
One of the new installments of the long-running “Real Housewives” franchise, “Potomac” has been a big success for Bravo, ranking as the second most popular version of the “Housewives,” just behind “Atlanta.”
Just this week, Bravo also debuted “The Real Housewives of Dallas.”
“Potomac’s” renewal comes just ahead of the season’s final episode, the Reunion Part Two, which airs Sunday, April 17, at 8 p.m.
The first season of “The Real Housewives of Potomac” has performed very well for Bravo, averaging 2.1 million viewers in Nielsen’s “live plus-3” estimates — good enough to become the network’s most-watched first season of a series since “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” in 2010. And among both adults 18-49 (1.2 million) and adults 25-54 (1.3 million), it stands as Bravo’s top new series since “Vanderpump Rules” in 2013.
True Entertainment produces “Real Housewives of Potomac.” Exec producers are Steven Weinstock, Glenda Hersh, Lauren Eskelin, Lorraine Haughton-Lawson, Bianca Barnes-Williams, Ashley McFarlin Buie and Andy Cohen. Anne Swan co-exec produces.

So sad. The fact that many in America now think that these women represent truly sophisticated black women is a shame! It’s embarrassing!! Karen, the supposed “grande dame,” doesn’t even have a good handle on proper word usage! Having money does NOT mean having class. Many of these women have no class!! Yes, I’m black.
Bravo is so happy weekly they have grown, professional? black woman at each other in a negative way being very childish., and these women say “we’re getting paid” yes but at what cost. So very happy that all the black women I know in my life are not as petty as the Real Housewives…….all for that mighty dollar. WHAT A JOKE.
LAWD NO! Please don’t impose this upon us anymore. I don’t know how I made it through the whole season, but hate myself for having watched it. I guess I kept waiting for them to have some fun, do some good, or something other than fighting to happen, but no, it is only focused on these women arguing about race and “etiquette,” and showing just how (unjustifiably) snobby they are. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this show, and little about these women.
WHY????? it is seriously cringe worthy – when did showing classless women become a source of entertainment? – no redemption at all from any of them – just a continual competition to see who can be the most entitled snob – I’m sure Potomac is thrilled at being portrayed by these alleged ladies – NOT
RHOP would be sooooooo much better without Karen & Gizelle! Those 2 bitches have no class & are so annoying with their “proper etiquette” rods stuck up their ass! Can’t stand their fake snobby attitudes & they think theyre better & above everybody else! Can’t stand their ugly diva drama queen judging personalities!!
Empowering women everywhere. An entire franchise of women screaming at each other, threatening and disrespecting each other at every turn. Wonderful.
Bravo will renew anything. “Potomac” is a farce, they’re just trying to invent conflict. And to think Andy Cohen stands behind this crap.
